Not Guilty

For the last couple of months I have been overwhelmed by the lyrics of this song. It brings everything Jesus did for me on the cross into focus.
I think that I often look only at the panoramic picture of Jesus dying on the cross for the sins of the WHOLE world. I know I get so caught up in that big picture that I forget about my self-portrait.....He died for MY sins. He took MY place!
If I can look first at my personal redemption and then look at those around me for whom He also died I believe I would be able to comprehend more fully the salvation He has afforded me.

What He has accomplished for me can't be put into words but this song comes close. Listen and enjoy!






"In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of His gracious favor". -Ephesians 1:7 (Amplified)

"Therefore He is able also to save to the uttermost (completely, perfectly, finally, and for all time and eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He is always living to make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them".
-Hebrews 7:25 ( Amplified)
"But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were [so] far away, through (by, in) the blood of Christ have been brought near". -Ephesians 2:13 (Amplified)


"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life". -John 3:16
