He saves us from our sins

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." Mt 1:21 This Good Friday, what would God want us to know about the person and work of His Son Jesus? We remember the great sacrifice of God's only Son for us. Many look at the Cross and see Him as their Healer, Our Provider, Our Protector and so on. But notice how the Gospel of Matthew introduced the Work of Christ - the One who will save His people from their sins. What a Blessed truth we see here. The Work of Christ now and every moment of our life here on earth is to save us from the snare of sin. He is continually guiding our steps and is keeping us from falling into the many temptations that the enemy hurls at us.Jesus who of God is made unto us...sanctification." -- 1 Cor. 1:30 At the cross he saved us from the penalty of sin. He is now saving us it's deadly power. As we walk nearer to Him, sin loses it's hold over our souls and we become partakers of a higher life with God and a glorious eternity with Him in heaven. What a privilege have we? Nothing ought to hold us back from running into the arms of such a loving Savior who gave His own life as a ransom to save us from our sins.
