1 Timothy 2:3-6 “This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.”

Sometimes in our lives, we feel a sharp pinch of our past. We are reminded of the most inopportune moments and places of life as it was. I can’t describe the distress, the renewed regret, but sometimes it rears its ugliness.
Yet, if I believe, confess, and live in faith, then God has graciously forgiven me. The sacrifice of Jesus is sufficient. I do not have to play on the defensive side in life. I must not continue to rationalize and find excuses for my choices, my rebellion, or my multitude of past sins. I can call sin by its ugly name. I can live again without regret or shame. All because I know Jesus took it all away. Jesus by his death pays the price for my forgiveness and his resurrection fills me with satisfying assurance.

Thank you, Lord, for the assurance of faith and confidence in your mighty works in me.
