I admit it: I’m the guy who starts projects and often doesn’t finish them. I don’t know why. There’s something in me that will get right to the edge of completion, and I’ll say, “Well, I’ll get to it later.”
Aren’t you glad God isn’t like that? Can you imagine the Lord saying, “I’m going to change this person, I’m going to do a work in them, I’m going to—eh, I’m tired of them, I’m moving on”? No, He finishes what He starts. I bring this up because one of the statements Jesus made on the cross at Calvary was, “It is finished!” God completed the work He had sent His Son to do.
And because He broke the power of sin, you don’t have to be under the power of any sin, any vice, any lifestyle. You don’t have to be under the power of alcohol. You don’t have to be under the power of drugs. You don’t have to be under the power of pornography. You don’t have to be under the power of your out-of-control temper. You don’t have to be under the power of anything or anyone, because Jesus has purchased your freedom at Calvary.
He finished your salvation. It’s paid for. You don’t need to add anything to it. It’s a gift to you. If you put your faith in Jesus, you can say with confidence, “I know that my sin is forgiven.”
