Forgiven Because of Jesus
“God is not mad at you for anything that you’ve done. He loves you so very much and He wants you to return to him” - Wesleyne
Ephesians 1:6 to 7:
So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.
This verse offers profound insights into the depths of God's grace and the redemption we have in Christ Jesus. Apostle Paul elegantly encapsulates the nature of God's grace - glorious and freely given. The grace of God isn't earned or merited, but generously given out of God's love. The emphasis on the phrase “The One he loves” underscores the focal point of this grace - Jesus Christ, which further enhances the intimate, loving relationship between God the Father and God the Son.
It expounds on the nature and implications of this grace and the Apostle establishes the basis for our redemption and forgiveness - the sacrificial act of Jesus on the cross, signified by “His blood.” This redemption is not a cheap affair, rather it is undergirded by the immense wealth of God’s grace, demonstrating its vastness and extravagance. This verse presents a comprehensive view of grace - its origin, expression, and the monumental implications it has on the believer's life, that is, redemption and forgiveness. The striking portrait of God's love and grace painted by these verses invite you to reflect upon, rejoice, and respond to this magnificent gift.
