All Is Forgiven!
"Much more then, having now been
justified by His blood, we shall be
saved from wrath through
Him."
Romans 5: 9
Sometimes the richest devotions are from dusty
books.
This is what the British preacher William Romaine (1714-1795) said
about the blood of Jesus: “Sins as red as scarlet, sins as numerous
as the stars, or as the sands upon the sea-shore innumerable,
and
nature as black as hell, a heart as wicked as the devil, the divine
and
eternally precious blood of Jesus can so cleanse and purify, that
not
one spot shall remain; for he is Almighty.”
All of us look back with regrets at our imperfections,
mistakes,
moments of failure, times when we said or did the wrong thing.
But we shouldn’t! God has erased all those from the ledgers.
When we look backward, we should say: “Praise the
Lord!
Everything sinful is gone, and everything is working out
for
good through the mercy and grace of our God.”
Our past is forgiven;
our future is forever;
today is for Him!
"If I had been guilty of all the sins of Adam and Eve, and
of all their descendants to this day, yet believing in him
I
should be safe, because his blood cleanseth from all sin."
William Romaine
