A Clean Record

Sometimes when I tell someone the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ, they tell me they don’t think God could ever forgive them for the things they have done.

But God is able to forgive, and He is willing to forgive. He doesn’t just accept your apology, He actually clears your record of sin.

Imagine yourself in a court of law – there’s a long list of charges against you. You are guilty of every one. But then Jesus steps in and gives His life in your place, taking the punishment for everything you’ve ever done wrong. All you need to do is accept His offer.  

The Bible says in Romans 4, “Oh, what joy for those whose… record the Lord has cleared of sin!”

That’s you! If you have accepted His forgiveness, your record is clear and you can be joyful because of that.
