JESUS MADE REMISSION OF SINS POSSIBLE

JESUS MADE REMISSION OF SINS 

POSSIBLE

Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, 

that through this man is proclaimed 

unto you remission of sins: and by him 

every one that believeth is justified from 

all things, from which ye could not be 

justified by the law of Moses 

(Acts 13:38-39 ASV).

Before Jesus came, there were sacrifices and 

offerings for the atonement of sins in the Old 

Testament. The Jews always had to offer sacrifices year 

after year for sins. These involved the killing of animals; 

several bulls and goats, but the Bible says in Hebrews 

10:4, “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and 

of goats should take away sins.” 

The blood of bulls and goats couldn’t provide 

remission, but when Jesus came, with one sacrifice, 

He perfected forever all those who are called in Him. 

He offered Himself once, not for the forgiveness of our 

sins, but for the total blotting away or remission of sins. 

(Hebrews 9:14). He made remission of sins possible. 

Too many around the world aren’t aware that their 

sins have been remitted. He didn’t do it for Christians; 

He did it for the whole world (John 3:16). There’re 

those today who ignorantly put themselves through 

some harsh penance; they punish themselves for their 

sins, thinking if they suffered enough, God would be 

sympathetic towards them and overlook their sins. But 

it doesn’t work that way. 

The Bible says, “For by grace are ye saved through 

faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 

Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 

2:8-9). It’s not by your efforts. So, it doesn’t matter how 

many times you buffet yourself for your sins; it makes 

no difference how long and hard you suffer and go 

through self-inflicted penance; your sins can’t, and won’t 

be remitted that way. What was required was sinless 

blood, the blood of Jesus Christ. He alone was qualified 

to offer Himself for the remission of our sins. 

Acts 10:43 says, “To him give all the prophets 

witness, that through his name whosoever believeth 

in him shall receive remission of sins.”  If you’re born 

again, happy are you, because you have remission 

of sins; total obliteration and removal of sins—past, 

present, and future. His blood is that powerful; it speaks 

better things (Hebrews 12:24); it speaks of eternal 

redemption and eternal inheritance (Hebrews 9:11-14). 

Hallelujah! 

CONFESSION

Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of your Son, Jesus, 

whom you sent for the remission of the sins of the 

world. I walk in the finished works of Christ, and the 

glory that His death, burial, and resurrection wrought 

for me. I’m forever righteous, holy, blameless and 

unreproveable in your sight. What a blessing!
