"He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification." Romans 4:25 (NIV)

Jesus’ resurrection is proof that you are saved! The evidence of sin that you remember and know in your heart has been erased. Jesus took away your sins and has declared you forgiven!

Unfortunately, the devil continues to hold that sinful evidence before us. He wants to create doubt and fear. Faith sees the truth! Because of Jesus, God has declared you forgiven and no one can undo what God has done!

Below is a quote that is directed to pastors but has comfort and insight for all believers. Because Christ is risen, you are saved!

"No matter how sick a person may be in his soul, the gospel can heal him. No matter how deeply a person has fallen into the corruption of sin, the gospel can pull him out. No matter how troubled, frightened, and afflicted a person may be, the gospel can comfort him. Whatever the condition in which a person finds himself, even if he is convinced he must perish because of it, the preacher can confidently oppose him saying: “No, as certainly as God lives, he does not want the death of any sinner. You shall not perish; instead, you shall be saved. Turn to Jesus, who can evermore save all who come to God through him.” And if one who lies near death calls out: “God, what have I done? Woe to me! Now it is too late! I am lost.” the preacher should call to him: “No, no, it is not too late! Commit your departing soul to Jesus. You too shall still be with him in paradise today.”
