John Bradshaw - Handled
If you've traveled to England and visited the Tower of London, you've seen the crown jewels, and you've probably wondered what they're worth. But like the Mona Lisa or a copy of an original Gutenberg Bible, there's probably no real monetary value you could place on them. You couldn't buy them if you wanted to, no matter how much money you had.
Salvation is similar. What could you pay to atone for your sins? Can you do a deal with God and take care of your debt as it were? Of course, the answer is no, and fortunately, there's no need to do so because it's all been handled.
Galatians 1:4 says that Jesus, "Gave Himself for our sins". How do you settle a debt as a large sin? Well you don't, Jesus has done so. It's taken care of and so you can simply trust and believe that Jesus has done what you could never do. I'm John Bradshaw for It Is Written.
