Rahab and Jesus saved from death, saved by Him

Joshua 6:17 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the Lord: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

Whole city in ruins, there is almost nothing left of the great city of Jericho. And all that is left, shall be burned. Everything, except for Rahab and her house. This is in short the story of Rahab the whore. She hid the spies and the Israelites escape, and now she is rescued himself from death. Rahab believed the praises of the God of the Israelites, and that has prompted her to hide the spies. What an act of faith by risking their lives to help these men escape.

Rahab was then incorporated into the people of Israel, the people of God. But that's not all, she's even in the line of Christ. Rahab comes from the Savior. She has thus been given a special place of God by not only join with the people, but also to use her in His plan of salvation of the world. Rahab, the whore from Jericho, believes in God and is preserved. That's a special story!

This shows who God is and who He will be for us. God loves mankind, too sweet to die. And He offers His salvation to every human being on. Those who believe in His Son, who will be saved. It does not matter if you're a whore or a murderer, God's love is for every human being. Because whether you are a murderer or a liar, everyone needs the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ. He opened and wants to give you grace the road. You take it? Like Rahab?

God protects those who believe in Him. Rahab was saved as her home and she was allowed to live, if God will also save you and me. He wants to add even provided us with His people and that is a privilege. How do you deal with that right? Keep your life as you did before? For God requires a life for him after receiving grace. Grace is given to us, but requires a holy life. You live for Him?

God works through people, he also Rahab used for His master plan for the world.God wants to use us in His Kingdom. We may be proclaimers of the good news and tell the people around us from His love. God can use us to save someone else, as he turned on Rahab to save mankind. God can not do that without us? Yes, of course, but he wants to enable people to proclaim His Word and to radiate His love in the world.

In time for Christmas, in this dark time, we may serve Him to the people around us to see. Who needs you in this world? Who are you the Rahab, she offers a helping hand? We magnify God and we worship Jesus with our lives. He came as a stranger to the earth, like Rahab a stranger came to Israel to save us. That is a contradiction, because a stranger he came to earth who created himself. But out of love for his Father and out of love for us, He came.

Leave it as Advent in our hearts and lives. Rahab points us to Christ, and He shows us that we can be His. 

Isaac and Jesus: sacrifice

Genesis 22: 8 nd Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

An immense task for Abraham. Isaac his son, he had to sacrifice to God. Together they went on their way, and Abraham has all this time been silent about it to his son.Isaac absolutely did not know he would be sacrificed and that his father had instructions to sacrifice Isaac and use it as a burnt offering. They come close to Mount Moriah, they let the servants behind and together they go on. And then comes the question of Isaac: Father, what are we going to sacrifice? And Abraham answers in faith that God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering.

Isaac might have smelled a rat, but as we read on, we still see that he is on the altar. How is it possible? Isaac let himself lay on the altar by Abraham and we read nothing about a fight. He has accepted his fate and let his father take its course.In obedience to his father, but especially to God. Abraham was going to sacrifice his son testifies obedience, but Isaac let himself sacrifice testifies as much obedience to God. How obedient are we to God? Do you ever ask yourself that?

But God gives outcome, because ultimately holds God to Abraham. The Lord Angel calls him a halt. You do not have to do this, Abraham, Isaac, need not be sacrificed. Your son will live, because I have a plan with your seed. Isaac must live, because another sacrifice must be done and will be in you posterity emerge and that Posterity will all nations be a blessing. And so they receive a ram from God which was sacrificed in place of Isaac. Fortunately, because you don't sacrifice your own son, don't you?

This did not have to happen with Isaac, had to do with Jesus. The sacrifice of His life had to be accommodated. Abraham did not have to sacrifice, but God did sacrificed His Son. Jesus gave Himself as sacrifice in obedience. That was definitely not easy, we see history as He speaks with His Father in Gethsemane. He feels the deep fear of sacrifice, so much so that Jesus sweat blood. But he bears the punishment and mercy brings so forth for all nations. The promise of Genesis 22:18 is fulfilled here.

That's where we are permitted to think in Advent. Jesus came down from heaven to make that sacrifice. The Father sent His Son not in a palace but in a stable. Not in a four poster bed, but in a manger. And he eventually had to surrender His Son into the hands of death. The cup was completely empty, the punishment was carried into hell. That is God's love which we can draw from.

A grateful Advent, the coming weeks may be for us. A look to the celebration of Christmas, that the light came into the world. But over the celebration of the Light wins over the darkness and eventually look at life with the Light! If we so live Advent and living towards Christmas, the Spirit will fill us and we will be blessed.

Lord Jesus, thank you for your sacrifice! Thank you for the perfect sacrifice that you have brought. Without your sacrifice, life was meaningless, but now we drove through the sacrifice to live. For you have given life. Your Name be praised forever! 

Adam and Christ: the first man vs. the perfect Man

Genesis 2: 7  And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Adam is the first man on earth and therefore also the first in the family of Jesus Christ. Advent is  time again and the next time I want to investigate people who have a place in the lineage of Jesus. Today, the first man, Adam.

There was only a little dust on the earth, between the beautiful creation of God.And that was not just a layer of dust, but it was dust from which God would create man. God formed man of the dust of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life. Man here receives life from God. Adam was the first human being that was created and shaped by God and  God breathes the breath of life in him.Man is totally dependent on God!

But it also shows God's greatness and majesty that He formed man out of nothing and gives it breath. Why would God do this? That you read this in the verses before: there was no field crop because it had not rained yet at the earth. But God had dampened the ground, and now it was time for the man to go to work in God's plan. The ground had to be processed, which was the primary duty of man. God took care of everything and the only thing man had to do was take care of His creation. Everything is prepared for man. So man will be thankful to God, right?

But later in it goes wrong. Satan has turned against God in heaven and is now trying the crown of creation to win over. But man stands on God's side, you will think.God who gave him life, so he can not rebel against God? And yet the unreal happens. Man finds himself more important than God and wanted to be equal to Him and turns against his Maker. What will God be sad, what this will do a pain in the Creator. His creation will now be lost, they will have to die the death. That is the punishment that God has put on sin and now the man make that fatal mistake. And we are all children of Adam, all infected with the same virus: sin. All doomed, or not?

For God does not ignite in anger when man falls into sin, but He shows His majesty and His perfect love for man. He promises to direct a Savior who will win the battle of evil and will even conquer death. There is hope for mankind after Adam's sin: the Savior!

And if we make a leap in history, we stand next to an empty grave. Jesus Christ has conquered sin and death! He has again paved the way to God. The second Adam, the first man without sin has fulfilled the righteousness of God and bore the punishment. And that is not for himself, but for every person who believes in Him. As every human is a sinner from the moment Adam sinned, so is now every man who gives his life to the second Adam again be reconciled to God. Now that's gospel.

And we must also live in the knowledge that we are saved. Jesus has washed away your sins and paid for it. We still have our sins, that virus will pass away when we die. But it is no more deadly virus, because Christ has taken care of. Then we can only be grateful and fall on our knees and worship Him, that great Redeemer!The Father created the first man, but gave the perfect Man as reconciliation. 

God's peace changes persons

1 Samuel 1:18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.

What a history of Hanna. She was the wife of Elkanah, but she was not alone.Namely Elkanah had another wife, Peninnah. Peninnah did have children, but Hannah had still not given birth at Elkana. And that brought an uncomfortable situation with them. It was clear that getting children was so important for a  woman, that if that failed, the man could take another woman. And Peninnah did have children and she teased Hannah with it. Every day Hannah was facing her childlessness.

And Hanna always went deeper into despondency, in perhaps depression. She wanted so badly to have children with her husband, and yet could not. God had not given her children so far. Why God did that? That's not for us to explain. God draws His own plan with men and has a specific task for everyone. So God has a plan with Hannah and not just a plan, because it would change Hanna.

Because God comes to Hanna. When Hanna enters the tabernacle to pray and lay down her grief to God, first Eli comes to her. He first thinks she is drunk, because she is only moving her lips. But it is the intense grief of Hanna that she dough here before the Lord. And when she explains this to Eli, he understands her completely. And he speaks for God to Hannah: Go in peace, and He will give you the God of Israel what you have asked him. And we can of course suggest a child.

After these words, after the words of peace from God and His promise to answer her prayer, Hannah is not the same anymore. Her depressive behavior is no longer present, because she has God's peace and His promise. God does not look at the side how this plays out. No, He intervenes and Hanna first blesses with His peace. Wonderful what God can do in the life of a human, and when God involves we will change our lives. We will leave behind our old life and radiate Him in our surroundings.

Did you receive God's peace? Maybe you've never had. Then you may like Hannah to Him and pour out your heart before Him. All your problems you can tell Him. If your sins you shall lay before Him, and He will remove them. No, it does not mean that you will go through further carefree life, but you will be filled with His peace. And that makes you a different person.One who has been touched by God, then you are no longer as before.

Gods children receive His peace every day and are no longer as before. You can live out his love, saved by the blood of Christ. And people can see around us, like Hanna.We should reflect on our her, learn like her to be filled by God. You will conflict with your old life, but in that battle, God is on your side. He is the Living Water, the source of all good. Let Him fill you with His peace! 

filled by grace

Matthew 14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

What could be found in Jesus? Why would you belong to Jesus? There is an answer: you will be filled by Him. Jesus fulfills the needs of every person.That's not always easy to explain when you try, but on the basis of this text, we want to try that. For in Jesus is indeed to find satiety, He has everything a person needs. And if we do once tast the grace, we will be filled but never satisfied.

It is the miraculous feeding where our text is about. Jesus preached for the people, fivethousand men and also women and children. He told them about himself, about God and the kingdom of God. And he healed their sick. The people listened for hours and it is time to eat. But they are too far from the shops to buy food and eat only food is five loaves and two fish. And Jesus takes the food by him, he asks God to bless it and breaking it into pieces. And there is enough bread for everyone. There even remains bread over twelve baskets full. And the fish was not to get in, because that was all been eating. 

This is typical of Jesus. He knows what people need and he gives them. It's late, they should eat and Jesus gives them to eat. He gives everyone enough, nobody can say that they are hungry, because there is even bread left. The empty bellies of the people are now filled with the bread that Jesus gave them and that is blessed by God. And so Jesus wants to provide with food for the people, if he thinks that is so important, then he will certainly plentiful handing spiritually.

Because Jesus has something more important to give: His grace. Every man needs grace, every human being has, as it were an empty stomach. And Jesus comes to us and offers us His grace. We don't need to do something, because he did it. He gives the grace that will satisfy our spiritual emptiness. And there's plenty for everyone, for so God loved the world. Not just a few people, but everyone. God loves everyone and offers everyone His grace. That you may be saved and saturated by Him. Then you will be satisfied, your spiritual void is filled and every tasting of His grace. You will never want anything else.

Jesus fills us every day. He does this through His Word, which He speaks to us and His love and mercy rich offering for sinners and working out. But he does it with people around you, you can support and help people who are there for you. It is through spiritual music, which you are to pure worship and He fills your heart with the lyrics about Him. It may by nature, which God's omnipotence and majesty is shown. Yes, Jesus fills us every day. Do you see it? Let you satisfy Him?

The filling by His grace is what changes people. Because if we experience His love and see His greatness and work on us, we can only flooding of him. Praise than His great name and worship Jesus!

Christ confess your name before the Father

Revelation 3: 5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Have you ever thought about what confession really means? We talk often about: doing confession of your faith, confess your sins, you are a professing Christian. But you know what that means? Allow you ever think about what that means? When we confess that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, then we get there openly about it. You are for Christ, you are for God and you let the people around you know it. Did you know that Christ openly confess his children?

Christ confesses the names of all who are in Him beofre the Father and His angels. He sits at God's right hand and before the angels and says, yes, he or she is mine. I died for those who deserve salvation in God and the protection of the angels. Christ is not ashamed of us, His children. Even though they do sin and do things that they only provoke anger at God. Jesus is not ashamed and does not turn away his head, but takes it for his children to the Father. Christ says, as it were, to God, my blood has flowed for him or her, because the punishment is carried along. You can have love for him or her, not in anger.

What a mighty Savior we have then, right? What a loving Saviour He is. His work has not stopped after He ascended into heaven, but He protects us before God. He confesses our names and that's a good thing. Jesus may we serve, we should focus our lives on Him and be led by His Spirit. We must confess Jesus at all times and not be ashamed before Him. For He Himself also ashamed not for us.Will you confess Jesus openly?

For in the letter to the church of Sardis in Revelation 3: 1-6, are also warnings.Faith is not living there. A large part of the congregation do well good works, but faith is dead. There is a lot of work within the community, many people are committed, but there is no personal relationship with Christ. And the two have to go together, otherwise the works are useless. That is a warning to our chruches, we must not only work but also maintain our relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the Source of life through the church and that we can connect to our own lives. We need relationship with Christ to have not stained our clothes. How is your relationship with him?

Because for those who confess His name and do not stain their clothes, is for them a glorious future. They will receive white clothes and walking with Jesus.Their name will certainly not be blotted out of the book of life. Rather, Christ will confess them before the Father. And we can live out of that. From comforting, that prospect and that faith. Jesus Christ, the Son of the Lord God Almighty, sitting at God's right hand and confess the names of those who believe in Him and serve Him.Glorious!

God judges in righteousness

Psalm 98: 8 and 9 Let the rivers clap their hands, the mountains shout for joy together before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples judge fairly.

You get what you deserve. So is it always? So there is still talk with us? Last I heard someone say it: the nation gets the leadership it deserves. That was in response to the victory of Trump in the presidential election. How it works indeed with our people. Someone who does something against the law, will receive punishment. And we can of course not outside too. But is it to say, you get what you deserve?

When God made man gets what he deserves. Man gets penalty for sin and God's punishment is harsh. You may not live in the Garden of Eden. Even worse is that men will have to die and can not enter heaven. That's a hefty penalty and it is indeed something worthy of man. Who are we to question God's wisdom? This is the righteousness of God, he does justice to man. You will not hear me? Then you will not either. God's judgment will be done in righteousness.

But with God plays something, namely, His great love for man. God does not want man to perish, even though the man has earned this. God does not want you and I lost, because He loves us. And that is why God has given His Son, because He does not want us to be lost. He can not condone sin, but He hath given His Son to pay the penalty. And so God can judge in righteousness, because the punishment is carried.

If you are Christ, your punishment so worn. And then God's judgment will soon be in righteousness: acquittal! The blood has been shed for you and therefore you are covered sins. Therefore God can judge in righteousness, and you still acquit.There is no condemnation for those we read in the Bible and we must cling to Christ. You and I, when we stand before the judgment seat of God as a little puny humans, it will sound right: child, come with me forever. Step into the eternal joy and enjoy all the good that I am and will give you.

But it also means something for you and me here on earth. Asked justice is, we must do justice to the people around us. That law is not only the right of our society, but more important is the Kingdom of God right. We must look after the poor and widows, care for the sick and those who are alone. We can not just keep to ourselves our money, but also need to distribute. But that right also includes honesty, being faithful to your husband or wife and your children and the people around you are happy with what you have and not always but more want to live in more luxury.

When we know God's righteousness, we must handing in the world. First of all, very close to us, sometimes very far away. Then Christ will shine in this dark world, because then we will give light as the stars. One star does not make a lot of light, but if we have many stars, we will shine. Not our own light but reflect the light of Christ. That light power has the blood of Calvary, will be many to salvation. 

rend your heart unto the merciful God

Joel 2:13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lordyour God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

If you read Joel 2, you almost get scared inside. The day of the Lord is coming, which is indicated in this section. And before that day comes, must flee all the enemies of God, they will not know where to hide. There will be an immense fire over the earth and destroy everything, and there will be a total chaos. This, we can put next to Revelations, because such events are also described in Revelations. So it's not just about that time, but today is also reality. This warning also counts now.

But then in verse 12 sounds suddenly the call to conversion and is personally made in verse 13. Rend your hearts and not your clothes. How many people we see do not metaphorically rend their clothes. They say they belong to God, but live totally not that way. Other people live according to Biblical law, but is all for the outside and not by heart. They do not repent of their sins, they do not surrender to Christ.This is a wake up call! Convert your heart, we all have to put ourselves to the light of the Bible is my repentance real? Do I sorrow of my sins? Do I really belong to Jesus?

Repent unto the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, patient and rich in mercy. Here we are told that it is not a certain God, but your God. He is your God, he knows you since childhood and he has given you as a child his blessing. And all the while, until now, he did not break His promise. It is your God! And you must repent of your wrong things, repent of your inner sins, and not continue in sin. Christ has gone for those sins on the cross, but he is not worth that we continue to sin. He wants us to clean life.

And God will always take us in grace when we repent. For He is merciful and patient. He knows us and knows how we people are. God is patient with us, and that means that he knows us. He punishes us not directly for the sin, but give us time to repent. He is rich in mercy. His love goes so far that even His Son on the cross was to die for sin. To bear the punishment of the people and to wash them clean in this way from all unrighteousness. And as God is merciful, because we have not earned grace. It's all for nothing, all out of love and it all comes only from His side.

Then you and I must confess: I bow down before God and worship Him. I confess not only with my tongue that He is the Lord, but I also want to convert my heart. Lord, please wash me completely and let me focus on Thee. My eyes are often obscured, so I do not always see you. But when you call me in this way to draw my eye unto you, then this shows again Your inexhaustible source of love.

Make me pure for you, as pure gold and pure silver! 

The treasure of faith in God

Isaiah 33: 6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.

The times of Isaiah are very recognizable. There are few people loyal to God and every human being lives for himself. Some people are still placed neatly sacrifices still get into the service of God, but ultimately without content. And the rest of the people of God loose. There are parallels to our time. Many people live their own lives and want nothing to do with God. Whether we live in the west and prosperity is so important, whether one lives in oriental countries, for example, communism is most important. God is not thought of, and he is not served.

Allow you ever think about that? Do you also look around you and you only see people live without God? Maybe some people who still go to church, but otherwise nothing to do with God? But even people who are completely separate from God? It makes me scared sometimes, because what should now become of our country? What will all happen in the coming years and at what time will our children be raised? Will there also be persecution against Christians?

But precisely then we must cling to the words of Isaiah. He will be the stability of thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. Yes, that is our strength and that's where we legitimately expect. God is our strength, since he has everything under control! Whatever happens, he will not let others pull us away from Him. He is also our wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. God gives results in dark times and saves us from sin. He gives us wisdom so that we can remain standing and knowledge so let us be strong. God gives Himself to you and me.

For he still says something: the fear of the Lord will be a treasure. If we believe in God and live according to His will, the fear of the Lord, we are rich. Maybe not on the outside and in earthly things, but we're rich inside. We have the most precious thing there is. God wants to dwell in us and works in us, and we receive His grace, by which we are rich.

Then we can look around us and become anxious. We may wonder at what time our children will live and whether there are still thought to God. We can see a dark time to get where we do not exactly know how to handle it. But precisely that is why we read today these words from Isaiah, and take the next mission.

Pray for our children so that they may receive the power of Christ to stand strong in this world. Pray for the Church of God so that the Holy Spirit can continue doing his work by proclaiming the Word. Pray for the government, so that they may see that without God it has no future. Pray for the unbelievers, so that their eyes may be opened and that they can see who Jesus Christ wants to be for them.

So we get an encouragement, but also an assignment from Isaiah. And thanks to God, that He gave His light still shines in our hearts and in the world. Let us worship Him for His almightiness and His saving love. He is worthy to be served by you and me! To him be the glory and power for ever.

Holiness to the glory of God

Romans 6:22  But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

I am free from sin, someone says proudly. So I do not sin anymore and am totally clean before God. I have therefore no need prayer for forgiveness, for I do not sin anymore. That might make you think when you read the first six words of the text and then stops and close your Bible, but there is more. What is central is sanctification.

It is always difficult to understand something: the holiness. What is it exactly and what does that mean? Can you care for yourself? Should you work on it? These are questions that you can get when it comes to holiness. But first you have to look at what the Bible says about holiness and how that relates to your life. In short we can say that holiness is a process where you're going more and more like Christ.

In our text it is also about holiness, but let's hold out a few key words.First, we are freed from sin. That is the wealth of grace, because your sins are not imputed. It does not mean that a child of God does no more sin, the opposite is true. A man continues to sin until he or she dies, but a Christian will always do less sins. The sins are forgiven when we ask Christ for it, as He has taught us in the Our Father: Forgive us our sins.

But there is more, that we are made in God's service. And that stems from the forgiveness of sin. Someone who has come to faith in Jesus Christ as Redeemer and Savior, lives in service to God! After all, your life is not your own, but of God through the Lord Jesus. And we thank our lives may make available to him.Indeed, we have to make our lives in service to Him and to His service. This can by becoming minister, but also to be helpful to others or to lead an honest life. For everyone to be different, but the end is the same: to serve God.

After all, we have received the fruit leading unto holiness! The Holy Spirit works in his children and the lives of His children are becoming more like Christ.Holy means put aside and are the children of the Father. Separately put to grow in faith and their faith into action to convert. It is not asked of us to spend hours reading the Bible, but to follow Christ. Yes, even to become like Him through the work of the Holy Spirit.

When we become like Christ, we will seek God every day and talk to him. We will be open each day reading His Word and what He has to say to us. We will care for the poor and the widows and orphans, for the lonely and the sick. We will be there for the people who are struggling in life and are without grumbling ready for them. We do not lie to justify ourselves therewith or to make a profit and we hate other people. We are not focused on ourselves but on God! In short, we apply the law of God in our lives and that makes us more and more into His image.

And all this will lead to eternal life. Here it is not always easy, but soon we will be fully able to enjoy God and becoming more like Him! To perfection, because our sinful remains in the grave. That wonderful prospect have the children of God!As we shall soon be part of it and now we can by the Spirit.

Be ye holy, for I am holy, saith the Lord!

I am yours

1 Corinthians 3:23 But you are Christ's and Christ is God's.

To whom do you belong? On that question, you can expect many answers. I'm with Feyenoord calls the one and the other says: I am ajax. Another answer might be: I belong to the Evangelicals and the other says the Reformed. Yet another says I'm with the kids Anabaptists and another in the adult Anabaptists. There are many examples where you can belong to, who you can be. But when we ask this question, in light of the Bible, it may sound there is only one answer: I am of Christ.

Every human being, not a single exception, has turned against God. Every man wants to do nothing of himself to God. Every man chosen by themselves, for themselves and not for God. Why is that? Because man wants to be not of God.Man wants to decide what he or she is doing and actually wants to be each man himself god. That is the blemish which man has placed on the creation of God and that has beaten deep wounds. The whole creation is stained and soaked with sin and the earth will not long exist. God will wipe out and make sure something new again. And every man who does not believe in Christ, will be lost.

That's a tough message, or not? Here we are people put down as enemies of God and that we are indeed. But God did not leave it at that, because he made a promise from the first moment. The man should be given a chance to repent and make it again right with God. Since the punishment should be worn, there must be blood to flow. And the blood flowed on Golgotha, where Jesus Christ went to the cross to die for the sins of man. To win the battle with Satan and thus pave the way to be reconciled to God.

And when we are part of those people who are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, we are of him! You may say, I am Christ! Nothing is more beautiful in this world, nothing makes you more full of joy than to have Jesus Christ. When you're him, you are reconciled to God and may you live by grace. Your life should be focused on Him and do not need to focus more on yourself. You ask yourself anyway just to disappoint, but He will never disappoint you. He will always be there for you, for ever.

And Jesus will then work in you, He will refresh you. His blood drips every day and covers our sins. He is our advocate before God and calls us from our sins.Whenever we do sin, He shows his hands to God and He shows the blood to the Father and says thus: I am for him or her go to the cross. do not see sin and does not ignite your anger, for it is mine.

So we must trust in Jesus Christ. We are His and He is there for us. He helps you in your struggle against sin, because that makes him hurt and damaged us. He wants us to become free from our sins and that He gives His Holy Spirit, Who wants to teach us Jesus more and more.
