The Heart of Salvation

Paul's epistle to the church at Ephesus lays the foundation for the power of salvation achieved through Jesus' death and resurrection. This event lies at the heart of the Christian faith.

The forgiveness of sins that we experience as Christians was made possible by the blood of Christ shed on the cross. Jesus lived a perfect life and became a perfect sacrifice for the sins of all mankind. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins Hebrews 9:22. And without forgiveness of sins, we would not be able to approach such a holy and perfect God. Jesus' life, death and resurrection have given us a new relationship with God.

Jesus gave himself as a perfect and accepted sacrifice for our redemption and the forgiveness of all our sins: whether past, present or future, they are all forgiven thanks to Jesus.

So God calls us to renounce evil and sin, and to grasp the eternal life we are called to live. Since He is willing to forgive us because of justification in Christ, He demands that we no longer harbor sin and His lust in our hearts and lives. But to be holy as He Himself is holy. And if we happen to commit sin, we must repent of it at once, and come back into the light as He Himself is in the light, which is where the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:5-9

Think of Christ dying on the Cross out of love for you. Do you feel forgiven and free?
Where are you weighed down by your errors and sins?
Take time to talk with God, thanking Him for what He has done for you.

Ask God to give you the desire, the heartbeat and the ability to obey His will. Pray that your heart will be passionate about what pleases God.
