CLEAN RECORD

You can have a clean record! A preacher illustrates how: When Jesus sits at His heavenly computer, He highlights our list of sins. Then He hits the DELETE key, totally erasing our sins! But Christ does more. He also opens up another folder—the file containing His perfect, sinless record. He highlights and clicks on COPY, then goes back to our record, which is all blank now, and hits the PASTE key. And, lo and behold, His record appears on our record, and He presses the SAVE key! His righteousness becomes our own! “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9; cf. Isaiah 43:25; 44:22; Colossians 2:13, 14). Spotlessly clean record! Praise the Lord!—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim
