The assurance of His total forgiveness of our sins through the blood of Christ means we don’t have to play defensive games anymore. We don’t have to rationalize and excuse our sins. We can call sin exactly what it is, regardless of how ugly and shameful it may be, because we know that Jesus bore that sin in His body on the cross. ~Jerry Bridges

““He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”~I Peter 2:24

“ Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?”~Romans 6:16

“Salvation is far from the wicked, For they do not seek Your statutes.”~Psalm 119:155

“The Lord is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.”~Proverbs 15:29

“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.”~James 5:16

My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
    a broken and contrite heart
    you, God, will not despise.

~Psalm 51:17
