đź’ Consider this: Do you live each day with the knowledge that Christ’s sacrifice is truly enough? How can you point others—not to themselves or their efforts—but to the perfect, finished work of Jesus?

Have you ever felt pressured to prove your worth—to God, to others, or even to yourself? A man once scoffed at Christians for relying on Jesus as a "crutch." "Why can’t you just be good enough on your own?" he demanded. But the Bible reveals a staggering truth: no amount of effort, ritual, or sacrifice can erase our guilt. With striking clarity, the preacher exposes modern attempts to "help" Jesus save us—whether through superstition, moralism, or compromise. But the cross stands alone: "It is finished." This isn’t just theology—it’s the difference between religion and redemption.

Highlights
We hvae sinned, not only are we sinners we were sinners even when we were in the womb
So we need somebody—we need someone—to atone and substitute us because we cannot do it by ourselves. No matter how much we try to do good things in order to be forgiven, to be pleasing before God, we know that we cannot do it. "There is none righteous, no, not one." The Bible says no one can expiate, or no one can propitiate, or no one can make himself righteous before God.
Today, we examine our lives. Even for us who are Christians, we know how we fail the Lord. Even though we are here preaching in the pulpit—ministers of God’s Word—we know that we are more sinners than you are. We know how we have failed God. But how sweet a promise it is that if we trust truly and believe in the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ at the cross of Calvary—as we remember today—He says here, "Their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more."
God will change our hearts. When we recognise, acknowledge, believe, trust, and receive the Lord Jesus Christ—His work on Calvary—He Himself has promised that He will change our lives. Instead of having the burden of the dos and don’ts that they think of the law, we have the love to do it. We have the love to fulfil it. We have the love to obey it. We have the love to follow the Lord Jesus Christ.
Today is a day by which we continue on to follow the Lord. There are times that we stumble. We fall. We fail. We miss many things from God. But we are to continue and follow the Lord Jesus Christ. We don’t have to fall away and go back into the world. There is no other sacrifice.
You and me—we have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ. And I believe and receive and have fully acknowledged that it is only His work on Calvary that saved us. We are already seen as people who are glorified, positionally sanctified before God. You have a place in heaven. You have a seat that no one can take. You have a place that no one can take over. There is that place for you because you, in His eyes and in His record, is already perfectly sanctified, justified before Him—perfected because of what He has done.
