God’s love doesn’t depend on our actions
God’s love doesn’t depend on our actions
Jesus didn’t only pay for our sins, but He also took all of our shame
What does God see when He looks at you
do right - your blessed. do wrong - you’re cursed (that’s OC)
For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.
For he finds fault with them when he says: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
New Covenant of Grace
For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.”
God sees you in Christ
By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.
lifted up
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
And the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”
Why snake? - God showing them their disease on the cross
Bronze - judgement
So Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me.
ohn 12:27-34ohn 12:27-34
“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour.
Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine.
Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out.
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die.
So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
John 12:32
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself.
But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
,
Heb 10:14
For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
perfected - once for all time
blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.”
We’re accepted in Jesus’ acceptance
Now, there is no comparison between Adam’s transgression and the gracious gift that we experience. For the magnitude of the gift far outweighs the crime. It’s true that many died because of one man’s transgression, but how much greater will God’s grace and his gracious gift of acceptance overflow to many because of what one Man, Jesus, the Messiah, did for us!
And this free-flowing gift imparts to us much more than what was given to us through the one who sinned. For because of one transgression, we are all facing a death sentence with a verdict of “Guilty!” But this gracious gift leaves us free from our many failures and brings us into the perfect righteousness of God—acquitted with the words “Not guilty!”
