God is On Your Side

"If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say. . . .

"Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. " (Psalm 124: 1, 8)

God is on your side, because Jesus became sin itself in your place:

"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." (2 Corinthians 5: 21)

and

"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:" (1 Peter 3: 18)

We are reconciled to God through the Blood of His Son, Jesus:

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1: 9)

"Faithful and just" -- God is faithful and just to forgive because Jesus Christ has paid for all our sins, "once for all" just as Peter wrote.

God is on your side:

"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8: 312-32)

Just in case you do not have this clear in your mind:

"Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth." (Romans 8: 33)

"Justifieth" -- justifies, even now -- God is justifying you and me, and we have this witness through His Holy Spirit, who convicts us of our righteousness in Him (John 16: 8, 11)

God is on your side because of His Son. Rejoice!
