You Shall Know (Part 3)

Your sins are no longer a part of you.
The truth is that your sins have not simply been covered, but actually removed from your account. This was not possible in the Old Testament, but through the precious Blood of Christ, the removal of sins is a reality.

John 1:29, "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."

Matthew 26:28, "For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."

And if forgiving us wasn't enough, God Himself chose to FORGET our failures for His own sake. When He sees us, He doesn't want to remember our failures, He wants to see us as His precious child who stands blameless before Him:

Hebrews 10:17, "And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more."

We have peace with God.
We have been justified and made right with God, therefore we have peace with God. This means that your relationship with God has been restored and you can boldly enter His presence with a clean conscience because of your faith in Christ Jesus and the work that He's done for us on the cross.

Romans 5:1, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

We are clothed with the righteousness of Jesus.
As believers in Christ, there is a great exchange that has taken place. One of the things exchanged is our sin for Jesus' own righteousness. Let's take a look at a few scriptures:

Romans 3:22, "Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference."

Romans 3:25, "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God."

Romans 5:17, "For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ."

Jesus received what we deserved (punishment for our sins), and He gave us His righteousness in exchange!
