| And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses. |
| Colossians 2:13 |

Perfect Sacrifice, Perfect Forgiveness | |
God’s unmerited favor can propel
you forward in your career even if you’re not the most qualified or
experienced. But how can you be sure that you have God’s unmerited favor
if you are not even sure if God has forgiven you of all your sins?
Beloved, I want you to know that
your sins are forgiven not according to the riches of your good works,
but according to the riches of God’s grace (unmerited favor). All your
sins—past, present and future—have been forgiven. Colossians 2:13 states
clearly that we have been forgiven of all our sins.
The high priests in the old
covenant had to offer sacrifices for sins daily. But Jesus, our perfect
new covenant High Priest, offered the complete, perfect sacrifice “once for all when He offered up Himself” (Hebrews 7:27). We have been forgiven once and for all!
Now that you know that your sin
debt has been completely cleared and settled by Jesus on your behalf,
expect to experience God’s unmerited favor daily. Thank Him for it every
day and begin to walk in good success in every area of your life!
