Devotional | Knowing You’ve Been Forgiven

As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

PSALM 103:12 (NKJV)

 

… “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

JOHN 1:29 (NKJV)

 

There’s a problem in the Body of Christ. People have told me, “Todd, the reason you love so much is because of how much you’ve been forgiven.”

Nope. Here’s the reason I love so much: because I KNOW how much I’ve been forgiven. I believe it.

The Church is stuck in a place of believing she is still guilty, shameful, and deserves condemnation — and wishing someone would make it go away.

But the Good News is this: The blood of Jesus didn’t just forgive your sins. The blood of Jesus removed them as if they had never happened.

When you see that — when you finally choose to actually believe that — you pledge allegiance to the King of kings. This King doesn’t forgive only — He removes and forgets as if you never did it. God sees you through the lens of His Son, King Jesus.  He sees you as clean as the blood of Jesus has made you.

This is where the Church has missed it. We think we’re still damaged goods — still dragging our past behind us like baggage. But when Jesus paid for sin, He didn’t just cover it — He cancelled it. You’re not a sinner saved by grace; you’re a saint who’s been made righteous.

The devil wants you living under shame. God wants you living free. You’ll never live in boldness if you don’t believe you’ve been made new. And if you accept the sacrifice that Jesus made on the Cross for you and confess that He is Lord of your life, you are made new. Walk in this truth today!

🟡 Challenge for Today:
Ask yourself: “Do I really believe I’ve been completely forgiven?” If guilt, shame, or condemnation are still holding on — renounce them out loud. Speak this truth today: “I am clean. I am new. I am free.”

Love you,
