Forgiven

Forgiven

Redeemed. Price paid in full. Every debt nailed to the cross.

Reconciled. Once an enemy of God. Opposed to His purpose. Destined for wrath. Servant--slave--of the Prince of Darkness.  Blind--believing that the darkness was light. Now a friend of God Almighty--a child of His Kingdom. A soldier of the cross--on assignment for the King of Love.

Justified:  Clothed in His righteousness--forever.

Regenerated: Dead in trespasses and sin. Each day earning my wages. Then, made alive in Christ. Regenerated, quickened, by the Spirit of God--whose power each day energizes and sustains me. Earning wages no more--instead I have been given the gift of God--eternal life through Jesus Christ my Lord. Living for Jesus. Christ, in you, the hope of glory.

Grace:
Saved by grace alone.
Living daily a life enriched by His grace.
Growing continually in His grace as each of life's circumstances reaffirm the faithfulness of His promises and His presence.
Secure by grace, resting in the clasped hands of the Father and the Son and sealed with the indwelling Spirit's presence.

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast."
"Grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ."

Mercy:   There is, therefore, now, no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus."

Sanctification:  Set apart as His holy ones--His saints. Perfect and being perfected. One day, we will be like Him when we see Him as He is.

"I need no other argument, I need no other plea.  It is enough that Jesus died, and that He died for me."
