I am a terrible, sinful son made perfect forever by the Author and Finisher of my salvation, who suffered horribly on the cross for me (Hebrews 2:10; 5:9).
By one offering, God has perfected those who trust Christ, and all believers will be presented by Christ to the Father without spot or blemish (Hebrews 10:14; Ephesians 5:27).
Keeping the law cannot perfect us (Hebrews 10:1). God, be merciful to me, a sinner (Luke 18:13). The laws that govern prove we cannot govern ourselves. The law condemns us. Christ fulfilled the Law because He kept it perfectly. Now, Christ offers us His perfect righteousness.
Christ is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6):
- The way – to God;
- The truth – He is truth;
- The life – Christ is eternal life.
Believe (Acts 16:31) and receive (John 1:12).
Happy studying in fields of grace.
