For everyone who is trusting and resting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation

For everyone who is trusting and resting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, here are five things that God promises and says to you right now: 1.) I will remember your sin no more. (Jeremiah 31:34; Hebrews 8:12) 2.) If you confess your sins, I am faithful and just to forgive you of them and will cleanse you from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9) 3.) My grace is a gift; this is not something you can earn or have earned. So, take it! There is no cost to you; the cost was to my  son. (Romans 3:24–26) 4.) Although your sins are like scarlet, they are now as white as snow; though they were red as crimson, they are now like wool to me. I forgive you. (Isaiah 1:18) 5.) If you are in Christ, the new creation has come. The old is gone. You are no longer who you were. You are not defined by all of those things you once did. You are now defined by what Christ has done for you. The new is here! (2 Corinthians 5:17)
