"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed." - 1 Peter 2:24
I was reading through 1st Peter last week and came across verse 24 and was immediately reminded of the goodness that was accomplished on the cross. Peter reminds us that because of our sin, we were unable to have a right relationship with a Holy God. But, through the incredible work done on the cross by Christ, we are healed and made right before Him. Our debt has been forgiven. Our lives made new. This is why we battle sin every single moment.
This incredible gift.
This is what we celebrate at Easter.
"Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift." - 2 Corinthians 9:15
