Lord Who Hath Believed Our Report? (Full) Series

1) Who died for our sins and was raised for our justification (to make us just before God). This was done when He took away our sins, making us righteous in the sight of God.

2) We no longer stand at a guilty distance from God: “That at that time we were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were afar off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh,” Ephesians 2:12-17; Acts 2:39.

3) We have been reconciled unto God in one body by the cross, Ephesians 2:16.

d. Peter preached of this coming prophet: “For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise unto you of your brethren, like unto me; he shall ye hear in whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold these days. Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Unto you first God, having raised his Son, Jesus, sent him to bless you, turning away every one of you from his iniquities,” Acts 3:22-26.

1) We are now the children of God, and under the covenant of God which He made unto Abraham and our fathers. God, having raised His Son Jesus, sent him to bless us, turning away every one of us from our wickedness,” Acts 3:26. EGNT, page 320.

2) Jeremiah wrote: “And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me. And it shall be to me a name of joy, praise. Honor before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it,” Jeremiah 33:8-9; Jeremiah 31:34; Jeremiah 50:20; Philippians 2:12.

3) Zechariah wrote: “In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and uncleanness,” Zechariah 13:1; Luke 24:44-47; Colossians 2:11-13; Ephesians 2:1-10.

4) Conclusion: Jesus' suffering, death, burial, and resurrection made atonement for our sins by the shedding of His blood on the cross. Isaiah finally spoke of this when he wrote: “He (God) shall see the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore…because he (Christ) hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he (bore) the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors,” Isaiah 53:11-12; Psalms 22:14; Hebrews 9:28; Hebrews 7:25.
