Full Assurance of Faith

January 21

Nothing stands between you and God but you. Although there was once a veil of separation between the Most High and sinful man, that veil was rent when Jesus hung on the cross and announced that His mission was finished, the price for sin was paid; man is no longer separated from his Lord.

It is difficult for an individual who is accustomed to forging his own way through life to realize that the only significant transaction for time and eternity has been accomplished in his behalf. All he needs to do is accept the completed work done by Jesus on the cross and his salvation is assured.

The reality that man owed a debt he could not pay and Jesus paid that debt which He did not owe, that the great gift of salvation is placed before every fallen member of the human race is a powerful revelation of the love and mercy of the Christ we serve.

In Hebrews 10:19, 22, Paul states the outcome of the gift. Here he says, “Brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus…let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts cleansed from guilt and our lives washed with pure water.”
