For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believed that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. – Romans 3:25(NLT)
MADE RIGHT BY CHRIST’S BLOOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
How can man resist’s his natural tendency to be wicked?
Why do we usually want to do what is restricted?
Is it doing good works that makes one overcome evil?
Or is it fighting and arguing openly with the devil?
God sent Jesus as a sacrifice for our sins and transgressions
His blood erased our offenses and brought us close to salvation
People are made right with God when we believe in Christ’s blood
Why don’t you turn away from sin, obey and seek only God?

In the beginning, Adam and Eve had everything they ever wanted. Their life was very easy. They didn’t have to work hard. God provided everything that they could ever want or imagine. They were given all the animals to dominate and were provided trees and plants to get their nourishment. When they disobeyed God’s prohibition with the tree of good and evil, their lives changed. They became impure and guilt and shame began to fill their hearts. We all inherited that shame, guilt and impurity.
The bible tells us that we can only be made right by the blood of Jesus because his sacrifice on the cross was the perfect example of unconditional love.
PRAYER
Lord, let me learn to “let go” of shame and guilt.
REFLECTION
How has Christ’s blood cleansed you of shame and guilt?
