The 12 Joys of Christmas: The Joy of Forgiveness.
There can be no greater relief in a persons life than to have the penalty of their sins removed from them. Colossians 1:13-14 tells us of our redemption in Christ. "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. esv He has paid a price to the Father that we never could have paid. Think of it in another way... Before sin, Adam walked with God in the garden. When sin entered the world we were separated from the Father. Like crossing the Grand Canyon. If we were to try on our own to cross we would fall. Jesus Christ died on that cross to bridge that great divide. He provided the way for us to come back to the Father. Without Christ we would be dead in sin. Crushed under the load of chained slavery forever. He saw our need and came. He removed the chains of slavery to sin, and gave us a new life! Accept Christ and the free gift He offers, and live a fulfilled life in Christ!
