In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace
(Ephesians 1:7 (NIV))

No matter what your past has been, you can find redemption.

No matter what your sins have been, you can find redemption.

No matter what the world thinks of you, you can find redemption.

Let's face facts. We all have a past. Each of us has sinned. The world embraces sin, but the world is wrong.

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
(Romans 3:23 (NIV))

We have the hope of redemption through Jesus.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 6:23 (NIV))

Based on our sinful nature, we have earned condemnation. We have earned eternal separation from God, but God had other plans.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
(John 3:16-18 (NIV))

Do you stand condemned or do you believe? Do you long for grace and mercy? It is as easy as ABC.

A is for admit that you are a sinner in need of a savior.

B is for believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised Him from the dead.

C is for confess that Jesus is Lord!

Through the blood of Jesus we have redemption. Through the blood of Jesus we have the forgiveness of sins. Through the blood of Jesus, we can accept the riches of God's grace!

Have you accepted the riches of God’s grace?
