It Is Finished
Why has God forgiven my sins? Because I’m sorry? Because I’m trying to do better? Because I promise to do what He says from now on? No. Jesus died on the cross. And my sins died there, too! How does it work? I don’t really know but it is true. And I do believe it. It is finished—my sins are already forgiven. I am saved!
For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
——Romans 5:10
成了!
为什么神宽恕我的罪过?因为我很内疚吗?因为我想做得更好?因为我答应从现在开始做他所说的事情?都不是。耶稣死在十字架上。我的罪也死在那里!它是怎么做成的?我真的不知道,但是这是真实的,我的确相信。已经成了,我的罪已被饶恕。我得救了!
因为我们作仇敌的时候,且借着神儿子的死,得与神和好;既已和好,就更要因他的生得救了。
—— 罗马书 5:10
