GOOD NEWS!

Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (05-07FEB21)

Heads-Up --- Please find enclosed encouragement in SO GREAT SALVATION by the perfect and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy and wretched sinners by His sovereign free grace -God's unmerited favor- from their sins and from Hell:

NO CONDEMNATION AND NO SEPARATION

Consider this dreadful truth for a moment. Our sin in fallen Adam charged to us has separated us from God, "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God" (Isaiah 59:2). In Adam we are, "Estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies" (Psalm 58:3). In Adam death and sin entered into us, "By one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men" (Romans 5:12).

But now consider this glorious truth for a moment. Our sin has been separated from us forever. Our Blessed Saviour came in the flesh apart from sin (Romans 8:3) and in our nature to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself(Hebrews 9:26; Galatians 4:4-6; I John 3:5). Now because of His glorious, full and eternal atonement for sin the believer has no sin (Hebrews 10:14-17). Our Lord said, "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us" (Psalm 103:12). He has also assured us that He remembers our sin no more, "their sins and iniquities will I remember no more" (Hebrews 10:17). This is THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL – NO CONDEMNATION and NO SEPARATION but rather ETERNAL RECONCILIATION (Romans 8:1, 32-39; II Corinthians 5:17-21).
