361. Does God’s forgiveness excuse you from personal obedience?

No. God has reconciled me to himself and freed me from bondage to sin in order to conform me to the image of his Son. As I live each day in gratitude for God’s forgiveness, I seek to turn from

sin and follow Christ in loving obedience. (John 14:15–24; Romans

6:1–14; 2 Corinthians 5:14–15; 1 John 3:4–10)

Today is day 358 and we are studying the Section on Justification and Sanctification: Living in Forgiveness and Healing.

359. What do you receive through Christ’s sacrifice?

I receive the unmerited gift of God’s grace. If I confess my sins,

of Christ, a child of God, and an heir of the kingdom of heaven.

Today is day 357 and we are studying the Section on Justification and Sanctification: Living in Forgiveness and Healing.

357. Is it possible for you to keep these commandments?

No. I fail to keep them perfectly, however hard I try. They show

me my inability to obey God’s Law and my need for God’s grace

in Christ Jesus. (1 Kings 8:46; Psalms 53:2–3; 130:3; Proverbs 20:9; Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:9–20; 1 John 1:8, 10)

358. Since you cannot perfectly keep God’s Law, what has Jesus done on your behalf ?

As the perfect human and unblemished Lamb of God, Jesus

lived a wholly obedient and sinless life. He suffered death for

my redemption upon the Cross, offering himself once for all as

a “full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction

for the sins of the whole world.” (“Holy Communion, Anglican

Standard Text,” Book of Common Prayer 2019; see also Isaiah 53:4–6; Mark 10:45; John 1:29; Romans 8:3–4; Colossians 2:13–15; Hebrews 10:10–14)

others. (Exodus 35:20–29; 36:2–5; Psalms 104; 145:15–21; Ecclesiastes 5:10; 2 Corinthians 9:6–15; 1 Timothy 6:6–10; Hebrews 13:5)
