Lord, You assure all who humble themselves and come to You with a repentant heart that You will welcome us with open arms. Regardless of our past, no matter how ugly our sins, You will never shoo them away since Your sacrifice on the cross has paid our sin penalty. Your Word states that our sins are removed from us as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). Cement this truth deep within our heart. Even though he is aware of this truth, our eternal accuser, the devil, constantly points out our past failures (Revelation 12:10). Those deeds may have existed at one time but here’s the catch: all those events happened before our encounter with Jesus, on the “sin-side” of the cross. But Praise God. All who have trusted You, Jesus, live past the cross, on the “sin-free” side, since Your shed blood has washed us clean of all sin and unrighteousness (Hebrews 9:22). Jesus, Your cross has freed me from the sins of my past. So, in the power of the cross, let me say emphatically, “Buzz off Satan! Your accusations have no merit.”
Thankful to be living in the freedom Jesus Christ gives all who follow Him. Amen.
THANKFUL
