The nature of God’s throne is grace and mercy. And with Jesus as our High Priest and representative, we are as sinless as He is in our spirits. This gives us absolute access to the throne of grace, where we find help in our time of need!
Jesus is our great High Priest, about whom we make our Great Confession – that we have been made righteous by our faith in the work that He has done. This is what churches should be rallying around, not allowing our gaze to be distracted from the miracle of this New Covenant!
Jesus is our Rest. There is no work required to maintain your righteousness. Don’t get me wrong – there was a massive and impossible amount of work needed to get you there, but Jesus did all the work for you. Your job is to REST!
The New Covenant we have with God through Christ makes it abundantly clear that we are fully forgiven of all our sins. Because the NOUN of sin has been resolved, the VERB of sin can no longer keep us from God’s perfect presence. Armed with this beautiful revelation, you can sit confidently in His presence, not because you get to sin, but because you are overwhelmed by His love.
Because the Cross worked, Jesus never has to die again. There are no more sacrifices needed for the forgiveness of sins. There is not another temple to be built or an altar to be used trying to cover sin. God ensures us that the blood of the Lamb of God would forever bring life to anyone who receives this debt payment as their own.
For centuries sins were only covered by the annual sacrifice of animals, serving as a type of better things to come. Jesus, the substance, died for the full-forgiveness of humanity once for all time! Receive the gift by faith and enjoy your constant right-standing with God.
It drove the self-righteous Pharisees mad when Jesus spent time with “sinners.” Their false traditions taught that to remain clean you must separate yourself from the unclean. Under their Old Covenant the clean were defiled by the dirty. Yet in this New Covenant the clean (Jesus) now justifies the unclean!
While the Law of Moses drives you out, the Grace of God draws you in. Preach the Law and people are sure to feel inadequate and unwanted. Preach the Grace of God and they will assuredly experience the overwhelming goodness and love of the Father!
The Bible points us to 2 methods for obtaining righteousness. The Old Method (Law) was measured entirely on your ability to keep the Law. Fail in one point and you’re still stuck in unrighteousness. The New Method (Grace) calls you completely right with God based solely on the work of Jesus. I choose Grace!
In the same way that you don’t keep paying your mortgage once it’s paid off, there is no more offering for sin once the debt has been settled. That is precisely what Jesus accomplished on the Cross, and it’s entirely what the Church should be declaring to the world!
