What Paul Wanted His First Audience to Know

38“Therefore, my friends, I [Paul] want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.–Acts 13

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) 

  1. Forgiven.
  2. Set Free.
  3. Justified.
  4. Through Jesus.
  5. Not through following the law of Moses.
  6. It depends upon faith and not works to obtain.
  7. Do you trust Jesus alone (and not yourself) for salvation?–JMB

  2. Yes I do.
    Apt reminder. In my journey of suffering, many have said it could be because of sin or a generational curse, or because I did not pray enough…but I keep reminding myself that Jesus paid it all. I am forgiven and justified through Christ! Though it is hard, I fix my eyes on Him.
