He has appeared once for all … to do away
with sin by the sacrifice of himself.
—Hebrews 9:26
God is mad! “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men (Rom. 1:18).
Don’t misunderstand. God isn’t mad at you, he’s mad at sin because of what it does to you, his beloved child.
“There is no one righteous, not even one … all have sinned” (Rom. 3:10, 23). There is nothing you can do to erase that record.
But that’s where God steps in, inviting you to Calvary where Jesus rescues you “from the coming wrath” (1 Th. 1:10), justifying you by his grace and redeeming you by his blood (Rom. 3:24).
Come to the Cross. Priests, pastors, or preachers can’t come for you. You must come in person. So come to Calvary. Jesus will meet you there.
Your sins are indefensible,
but they aren’t unforgivable.
