It is one of the great mysteries of God how one can be filled with guilt over convicted sin and at the same moment experience that most gracious of forgivenesses in relief and thankfulness at our freedom from sin. This one resurrective forgiveness sets the standard for all human forgivenesses, once for all, completed before any of our sins were committed, written on the foundation of the world.
Where else can one find complete and total salvation within an instant, even in the act of sin?
Our God is so loving, so gracious, so approachable that wherever we are, in the midst of the greatest trials and the act of our darkest sins, we are plucked out; He assures our escape from inescapable damnation. Is there any doubt that our God is the ruler of the world, the epitome of goodness, the essence of love?
Our God lives! Our God died! Our God is alive!
