Paid in Full

Colossians 2:13-14, “And when you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us and which was hostile to us and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” Our sins are what separate us from God. These verses tell us that Jesus took our sins and nailed them to the cross. Psalm 103:11-12 “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” They have been canceled. The certificate of debt paid in full! Once dead now made alive with His forgiveness. The debt was ours. It was in our name. We owed it. Yet God’s love for us through Jesus Christ forgave it. Nailed it to the cross. Hebrews 8:12 “For I will be merciful to their inequities, and I will remember their sins no more.” Sins required a sacrifice. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. The only sacrifice worthy to remove our sins. To give the certificate of debt to God, showing it Paid in Full! No longer to be collected. So great is His lovingkindness. Praise be to God.
