16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:16-18
Have you ever been declared, "Not Guilty?"
You see, God knew that you and I aren't capable of living the perfection he demands, and so he sent his one and only Son to be the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world.
Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins. - Ecclesiastes 7:20
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:18
Believe on the name of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and you will be saved; declared "Not Guilty!" before the throne of God. Declared "Not Guilty," are beautiful words from an all-forgiving Father in heaven.
Today, as you consider God’s Word, as you believe in Christ Jesus, your Savior, your risen Lord, rejoice that you are at peace with God, that you are indeed, a redeemed child of God.
Prayer
Almighty God and Father, precious Lord and Savior, clothed in the righteousness of Christ our Savior, you declare us "Not Guilty!" Your love for us is so great, you provided a substitute in the body of your one and only Son, Jesus Christ. In stead of casting us aside, instead you provided a way out of our sinful darkness into you heavenly light.
May God bless you richly as you dwell on his word.
