Forgiveness and Salvation are free in Christ
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Romans 10:9)
There is a penalty for every sin committed. To set a person from this penalty such a one must offer an atonement or appeasement to let go of the punishment. In Leviticus 4, 5 & 6, The lord imposed some Laws on the Israelites. These laws govern the atonement and sacrifices to different sins anyone may be involved in. There was a sin offering, the guilt offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering, etc. No sin committed was free to be atoned for. Every sin committed required a sacrifice to pay for. In those days forgiveness of sins was not free, let alone salvation which will give you total freedom from Sin.
The death of Jesus on the cross of Calvary is the fulfillment of the law.
The crucification of Jesus is the sin offering of whosoever is willing to believe and confess that He is Lord.
If you were to pay for the sins you have committed by sin offering, how many animals would you have sacrificed? But God in His amazing grace sacrificed His son for you to be saved and have all your sins forgiven without paying anything.
Dear reader, I am glad you read all through and I know you are blessed. There is no sin that can not be forgiven by Christ. Confess your sins to Him, He will forgive you and redeem you back to Him.
Conclusion:
Forgiveness and salvation are free in Christ. You will not pay any sin offering to be forgiven, instead, all you have to do is to confess Jesus as your Lord and surrender all to Him.
