Through his bruises we get healed.
ROMANS 4:25 (GNT)
Because of our sins he was given over to die, and he was raised to life in order to put us right with God.
THE ESSENCE
Through Jesus' suffering we experience forgiveness, healing, and relational restoration with God.
DAILY FODDER
There is no need to try and prove your worthiness to God. He has already through his sacrifice, done everything that needs doing. Our role is to embrace him and own for ourselves the gifts he gives.
PRAYER
Good and gracious Lord, you were broken and bruised for sinners like me. Forgive me when I think people owe me for loving and forgiving them. Burst the limits of my love, O Lord. I want your everlasting light to overcome any darkness that is created by guilt and shame. Let me bring forgivin' livin' wherever you lead me. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
