“This is a fight we’re in.” This is not a walk in the park. This experience of living on earth is a test. That’s how the Bible puts it. I do not plan to arrive at the pearly gates with my clothes burning and smokin’! I’m a workin’ more on myself. Got a lot to do still!
I’ve been “declared free of guilt”
For the guilty criminal standing there guilty before the judge, there are no better words to hear than the judge’s declaration: “Not guilty.” That is what Jesus says to the guilty-as-sin sinner who comes to Him in repentance.
