The Son of God has authority on earth to forgive sins (Mark 2:10).
For we, as human beings, are like sheep gone astray; each of us going our own way (Isaiah 53:6). The only way is through Christ, who is the Light, the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 8:12; John 14:6).
He is the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Him, though they die, shall live; and whoever lives and believes in Him shall never die but live forever (John 11:25–26).
He was bruised for our iniquities and crucified for our sins. The punishment we deserved was laid upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).
We have been made right with God through Christ’s death on the cross and justified by His resurrection from the dead (Romans 4:25; Romans 5:1).
He has paid the full price for our sins and transgressions (Colossians 2:13–14).
As children of God, we have been crucified with Christ; we no longer live, but the life we now live in the body, we live by faith in Christ Jesus (Galatians 2:20).
Whom the Son has set free is free indeed (John 8:36). Therefore, let us not allow ourselves to be yoked again to slavery (Galatians 5:1).
There is no debt remaining on our account except to love one another, just as God has loved us, and to forgive others as God in Christ Jesus has forgiven us (Romans 13:8; Ephesians 4:32).
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, we are justified—as though we had never sinned (1 Corinthians 6:11; Romans 8:1).
We have been made right with God and given the Spirit who cries, “Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6).
We have been rescued from the dominion of darkness and brought into the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:13).
We are God’s chosen people, a holy nation, living stones, called to declare His glory (1 Peter 2:5, 9).
Praise the Lord, O my soul, who gives strength and peace to His people (Psalm 29:11; Psalm 103:1).
