For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance — now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. Hebrews 9:15 NIV

Let’s remember today that the Gospel message isn’t about how wrong or sinful we are, but how good, loving, and right JESUS is!

We’ve been saved out of a life of condemnation and punishment, restored and redeemed by our Shepherd and Savior, to be the people He has called us to be and do what He has called us to do. 

My friend, the power of the new covenant is that we can boldly come to the throne of grace through the blood of Jesus that has washed us clean. And because He has paid the price for our sins, we don’t have to live condemned or unworthy. He has made us worthy!
