Jesus Has Made Us Children of God by Becoming a Propitiation for Our Sins ㅡ

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” (John 1:12; 1 John 2:2)

Look away from yourself. Do not think or talk of yourself. You cannot save yourself by any good work that you may do. The Lord Jesus has not made you a sin-bearer. He has not been able to find any human or angelic being to be a sin-bearer. He says, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Think of the Saviour. Lay your sins, both of omission and of commission, upon the Sin-bearer. You know that you love the Lord; then do not worry away your life because Satan harasses you with his falsehoods. Believe that Jesus will and does pardon your transgression. He bore the sins of the whole world. He loves to have the weak and troubled soul come to Him and rely upon Him. Seek God in simple faith, saying, “I believe; help thou mine unbelief.”

Angels Minister to Trusting Souls-The Lord does not readily cast off his erring children. He bears long with them. His angels minister to every believing, trusting soul. Now, when you read these words, believe that the Lord accepts you just as you are, erring and sinful. He knows that you cannot blot out one sin; he knows that his precious blood, shed for the sinner, makes that one who is troubled, worried, and perplexed, a child of God.
