Give thanks for New Covenant promises. In Hebrews 10:17-18, it says, "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.' And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary."
Before faith came, you lived in the kingdom of darkness as an unbeliever. Sometimes, we still move down those paths of darkness. But as soon as we do, we are keenly aware we don’t belong there anymore.
Jesus identified Himself with the Bible. He tied the validity of the Bible to Himself. If He is Who He claimed to be then the Bible is true. The Bible always points to Jesus as Lord and Christ -- Savior of the world.
