This Christmas, I celebrate freedom from the eternal consequences of sin. Ecclesiastes says “Fear God and keep His commandments, for that is man’s all”. I know I have broken one of God’s commandments. With my nonexistent strength, I find myself falling short of the standard of holiness that God meant for me. I dare not go through a checklist of items that would qualify me as holy. I have sinned. I have fallen short of the glory of God.
My freedom? “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” – John 1:29
