REMISSION OF SINS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem (Luke 24:46-47).
In Christ, we have remission of our sins. His substitutionary work in our behalf made us new creations.

In Christ, we have remission of our sins. His substitutionary work in our behalf made us new creations.
Our past and our sins were completely blotted out, entirely erased from God's memory, not just your own.
So literally, what Jesus did was to take away the power of sin to prevent its destructive consequences.
For that reason the Bible says, “For sin shall not have dominion over you...” (Romans 6:14). Jesus accomplished this for us.
Acts 13:38-39 says, “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."
Acts 13:38-39 says, “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."
The term "forgiveness" is derived from the Greek word 'aphesis,' which specifically means remission of sins.
status unattainable through the Law of Moses. Justification implies being acquitted, to be declared not guilty.
Many Christians haven’t fully grasped the depth of this truth.

Many Christians haven’t fully grasped the depth of this truth.
While Jesus indeed paid for the sins of the whole world, when you believe in Him, you receive a new life, you become “a new creature” (2 Corinthians 5:17), a new person in the presence of God.
In God's presence, you’re brand new! This is what justification truly means; you stand acquitted, not merely paid for.
In God's presence, you’re brand new! This is what justification truly means; you stand acquitted, not merely paid for.
Through your belief in the payment, He gave you eternal life, and you were born anew, with a new life without a past.
You’re now a new creature; this serves as the basis for your acquittal.
The Bible says, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1).
The Bible says, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1).
In the presence of God, He sees you in Jesus Christ. He doesn’t see the multitude of sins you’ve committed; instead, He sees you as pure as Jesus.

Dear Father, I thank you for making Jesus who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Christ.

I pray for sinners around the world today, that as they hear the Gospel, their hearts be open to receive the remission of sins already accomplished for them through the death of Christ, to live unto righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

KEEP EVIL IN RESTRAINTS
(The Church Of Jesus Christ: A Major Restrainer Of Evil)
TO THE BIBLE:
2 Thessalonians 2:7 ESV
“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.”
LET’S TALK
There’re three restrainers of evil the Bible talks about; one is the government.

LET’S TALK
There’re three restrainers of evil the Bible talks about; one is the government.
Romans 13:1-4 tells us that the powers that exist are ordained of God and that they’re established to restrain evil.
The second restrainer of evil is the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “And when He (the Holy Spirit) has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment” (John 16:8).
The third restrainer of evil is the Church. Jesus said we’re the light of the world (Matthew 5:14), and when light shines, darkness recedes.

The third restrainer of evil is the Church. Jesus said we’re the light of the world (Matthew 5:14), and when light shines, darkness recedes.
Among these three restrainers of evil, the Church is the one who restrains evil by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The scripture states that the restrainer will be “taken out of the way.” That certainly wouldn’t be referring to government because there’ll be governments during the reign of the Antichrist.
In fact, when the Antichrist comes, he’ll establish a government.
Also, the Holy Spirit won’t be removed from the earth after the Antichrist is revealed because He’s going to cause 144,000 Jewish men to carry out ministry on earth after the Rapture.
Also, the Holy Spirit won’t be removed from the earth after the Antichrist is revealed because He’s going to cause 144,000 Jewish men to carry out ministry on earth after the Rapture.
The Bible tells us a large multitude of people gave their hearts to the Lord during the Great Tribulation, and the only way those people could have been saved is through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
So, out of the three restrainers of evil, only the Church will be taken away before the Antichrist is manifested.
So, out of the three restrainers of evil, only the Church will be taken away before the Antichrist is manifested.
The Church is expected by God to restrain evil today. We’re the light of the world and the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13-14).
When we decree a thing, it’s established for us. Satan can’t lord it over the nations; he can’t perpetuate his wickedness in the nations of the world and in the lives of men as he desires to because we’re putting him in check.
We’ll continue to restrain him and reign gloriously on earth by Jesus Christ.

Thank you, Father, for your grace upon your Church as we reign by grace through righteousness, illuminating the nations and hearts of men with your light and truth.

Habits are important because they control your life, and I’m sure you wouldn’t like to be controlled by the wrong and hurtful habits.
