From Dr T. L. Osborn and an addition written by me

"The great truth of authentic Christianity is the preeminent fact that Jesus Christ has so thoroughly redeemed us to God, that it is as though no sin had ever been committed to separate us from Him." -Isa 59:2


I Finnur add Hosea 14:4 > Read through the whole of Hosea (not so long) and see the beauty of the Lord and His plan. His is all the glory. He is the giver of all good gifts; including faith, life, healing and the knowledge of Himself, including the new covenant of love as Jesus fulfilled the law and by His faith we are justified. The Lord is perfect love and casts out all fear. We are in Him and He is in us. (2 Thessalonians 1:1-2) Christ in you - your hope of glory. Mark 3:24 > You are in His Kingdom - the Kingdom is here and advancing. Jesus has all authority/power in heaven and earth. Christ suffered outside of the temple making the nations holy to good > that is good news - we are redeemed to the Lord and have been given the word of reconciliation that we may bring His peace to people the fullness of Him for the Lord is our peace. And His peace is full. Redemption is full. When He returns we will be like Him. (1 John 3:2)
