The Message

God is loving, kind and merciful.

Abundantly loving, kind and merciful.

There is no end to His love, kindness and mercy.

God loves you.

He is showering you with His loving kindness.

He has given you mercy.

God has removed the problem of Sin by placing the wage of Sin,

the punishment for Sin,

completely on Jesus.

Every Sin;

Every trespass;

Every transgression;

Every debt toward God
past, present AND future

has been paid,

in full,

by Jesus’ death.

He took our punishment

in our place.

The wages of—the result of—Sin is death.

God laid all Sin on Jesus while he hung on the cross,

therefore

Jesus died with all Sin;

taking Sin to the grave with Him.

God promised He would punish Sin, and He did.

With a substitute.

With Jesus.

He who never sinned, took our Sin;

willingly,

gladly,

because He saw us
as worth
the price.

The price He paid was death.

The debt was paid in blood.

His blood wiped our account—our slate—clean.

All accounts.

Your account.

This is the richness of God’s great mercy.

He was merciful to us all by sparing us from reaping the just rewards for our sins by putting all Sin—everyone’s sin—upon Jesus to suffer and die in our place.

Great is God’s mercy on us.

All Sin (noun) was buried with Christ in the grave.

All Sin (noun) was put away in Christ in the grave.

Here comes the Love.

So great is God’s love for Jesus and for us all, He raised Jesus from death, back to life.

God raised Him from the grave to live eternally,

never to die again.

Ever.

Jesus, raised from the dead is proof that Sin is no more.
He could not have been made alive if there was any of the huge burden of all the Sin that God put upon Him left in Him.

Since Sin = Death
and there is no death left in Christ after He was raised, then

all Sin

was left in the grave.

Buried.

Dead.

Gone.

No more.

When Jesus was raised,

God raised us

together

with Christ.

We are in Christ Jesus.

We are in His eternal life.

God has lifted us up with Jesus

into the Heavenly Places,

and God sat us down

next to Himself

at His own right hand.

The place of honor.

You were once a slave to Sin.

Sin has been put away.

You are now free.

Jesus set you free.

When Jesus set you free,

you became free

indeed;

in fact;

in reality;

in truth;

truly freed.

It’s God’s gift;

God’s Grace,

to you.

Because He loves you.

Out of His loving kindness, it is given to you without expecting anything—not a single thing—in return.

That’s the meaning of Grace.

You cannot keep a Law to earn it.

You cannot keep a special day to earn it.

You cannot keep a sacrament to earn it.

You cannot say a prayer to earn it.

Change a habit.

Change a thought.

Do a good deed.

Do a penance.

If you could earn or gain it somehow, then it’s not a gift—it’s not Grace.

Here’s the point of all of this:

Since God put all Sin upon Jesus

and Jesus died with all Sin upon Him

and He was made alive again leaving Sin behind

and now Sin has been put away once, for all,

then Sin
is
no more.

Follow this logically:

Since there is no longer any transgression or trespass or offense or guilt, there is no need for laws.

With no laws, there is no offense.

With no offense, there is no guilt.

With no guilt, there is freedom, there is liberty.

Let’s be clear:

Jesus did not abolish the Law:

He fulfilled it.

Only Jesus lived His entire life without breaking even one of them.

No one else did.

No one else could.

To fulfill something is to bring that thing to an end—like a contract; a covenant.

The first covenant God made with His people was:

if you will; I will.

This covenant had an end and has been fulfilled.

Jesus, the son of man has; so now God has.

The new covenant God made with mankind is:

I have; so I will.

This covenant is eternal.

It was made once for all.

It is a covenant made with Himself; sealed with the blood of Jesus.

We are only mentioned as the recipients of the benefits;

the beneficiaries;

the heirs;

the ones being ‘gifted.’

In the truest sense of the word, we are the blessed;

that is:
marked with blood.

God has written His Law in our thinking (minds) and our affections (hearts).

He is our God, and we are His people;

even those who were once called “not His people” i.e. everyone.

Everyone’s sins are forgiven by God,

and will never

be recalled—remembered—by Him.

Great is God's Love,
God's Mercy,
God's Kindness.
