“Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.” – Acts 13:38-39
This is Good News!!! Through Jesus, everyone who believes in Him has forgiveness and freedom. Forgiveness for every sin. Freedom from the power of sin, death, and the devil. Freedom that can’t be gained by hard work, good deeds, rule following, or self-discipline but only by God’s grace. This was good news 2000 years ago and it’s still good news today!
Acts 13 is a beautiful example of the unchanging message of eternal life and hope available through faith in Jesus. What should you do with this message? Believe it and share it. Believe in the Lord Jesus and believe that God has forgiven your sins through Him. Believe that God loves you, embraces you, has adopted you, and lives in you. Believe in the Lord Jesus and believe that you are free. You don’t have to sin. You don’t have to fear what lies on the other side of death. You don’t have to fear the accusations and condemnations of the devil.
Then share this message with others who need hope, forgiveness, and freedom. Share this message with your closest friends and family. Share it with neighbors and coworkers. Share it with strangers. Share it near and share it far. Support, pray for, and encourage those who share it even farther! While the Bible presents some complicated truths and doctrines, this good news isn’t complicated. Forgiveness and freedom. Embrace it and offer it to others. #FollowJesus
