Justified in his Blood.

Romans 5:8-9
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!

On the topic of eternal punishment, many people believe that hell is an unfair punishment of people's sins. However, the way I look at it, the part that's unfair, yet amazing, is the fact that Christ died for our sins and offers the precious gift of salvation to all with no cost! I'm not saying that I'm jealous that I didn't die like Christ did, but rather it is just unbelievable how we are so unworthy yet Jesus still died for us so that our sins don't have to take us to hell. Now, that's love!

All in all, Jesus' blood that was shed on the cross is a symbol of redemption for Christians. We are allowed to be born into a new life from our slavery as a sinner. We are forgiven; our sins from the past, present, and future are wiped away. Christ sees everyone in the image of God depicting a pure and holy picture. Everyone who trusts the Lord is no longer considered to be guilty as they are strengthened by a relationship with God. You can change your badge from a sinner to a saint just like that.

Thank you Lord for your sending your Son to die for us. I don't think any of us would be where we are today if it wasn't for you.
Accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior everyday can be challenge, but we have to remember all the benefits in the end.
