What Jesus Christ DidLife Application: Knowing that you have been made right with God brings peace. This peace frees us to be empowered to do His will. This peace frees us from guilt over our sin that we may focus on doing His good will. This peace helps us see clearly what Jesus Christ did for us, what it means, and what it means going forward. This peace helps us see clearly what we are going to do for Him, to the glory of God the Father. Let us pray.(Isaiah 1:18; Second Corinthians 5:21; Psalm 19:1b)What Jesus Christ Did Means(Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:21, 22 ;Romans 5:1)What Jesus Christ Did Means Going Forward(Ephesians 2:10; Romans 8:1; Genesis 9:14, 15)
