“Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.” Hebrews 10:18
Imagine writing down every wrong thing you’ve ever done, and everything you should’ve done, but didn’t. Add to that all the sinful thoughts, words, and motives you’ve ever had.
Once you were done writing down this list, you would realize that it’s long. Real long.
From this list consider that every sin is a direct assault against God as the rightful Ruler and Judge of creation. God feels anger over sin, and he hates it. Thankfully, there is good news for us because of Jesus’ work on the cross. Jesus received God’s wrath in our place. Through faith in Jesus the wrath of God is turned away from us, because Jesus took it for us. In Christ you are forgiven.

- Does God remember your sins in Christ? Is there anything you need to do if you sin to make things right with you and God?
Prayer
Thank God that you are forgiven in Christ. Thank Jesus that he has fulfilled the requirements of the law for you and has taken upon himself the punishment that you deserve.
