Good News

Without Christ Jesus, you are still in your sins, without God and without hope in the world. But God has not left you in that estate of sin and misery. He has provided salvation for you through a redeemer. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice for sinners, to take away the divine wrath, to tear down the veil to the holy of holies and to invite you to worship God at His mercy seat.
The Good News is that though man, and you through that first man, Adam, sinned in him and fell with him in that first transgression, and that the second Adam, the Lord Jesus, was faithful, even to death on a tree.  In Jesus, all the promises of God are yay and amen. His love has made you accepted among the beloved. He has washed you and presented you to His Father as a holy and beloved child of God.

The Good News is that there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins because all of your sins are covered by Jesus. Thus, God, the Father, is pleased to have you in His presence. What relief and joy, what grace and peace.
