Out Into The Light

Though our sins were like scarlet, we shall be white as snow. Look what Jesus has done! Look what Jesus has done! The blood of Jesus Christ has washed it all away. The people living in darkness have seen a great light. Let there be light! Let there be light! And the darkness can never conquer it. And the darkness can never understand it. But we behold the glory! And we become a part of the righteousness --- because of the love of God. We walk in forgiveness and mercy and grace because of Jesus Christ. For unto us a child was born; for unto us the cross was raised; for unto us the stone was rolled away. And Christ rose in triumph, unto us! The enemy has no power over what is held in the hands of God. And we are held in the hands of God! We are made new and no longer conform to the brokenness of the world. We are transformed by the renewing of our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We are a people belonging to God by the power of the Spirit within us. We have been given the right to be children of God, by Jesus Christ, by Jesus Christ! And nothing can separate us from the love of God through Christ Jesus. He who began a good work in us is faithful to complete it. For God so loved us that He gave us the Way and the Truth and the Life. He made the only way for us to come to Him. For by grace we are saved. So we have Jesus!

Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light. Because I have sinned against Him, I will bear the LORD’s wrath, until He pleads my case and establishes my right. He will bring me out into the light; I will see His righteousness.   --- Micah 7:8-9

Who is a God like You, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; You will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.   --- Micah 7:18-19
