33 Truths at Salvation for Every Believer

Covered by the Atoning Blood

Key Verse: 1 Peter 2:24  ·  NASB1995

Key Verse

“and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.”

1 Peter 2:24

Propitiation satisfies God’s justice; this truth answers the question of what happened to your actual sins. Scripture’s answer is total: every one of them was already in view at Calvary.

Also See

“He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.”

Romans 4:25 · NASB1995

Peter says Christ “Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness” (1 Pet. 2:24) — every sin you have ever committed or ever will commit was already in view at Calvary. Romans 4:25 ties the cross to the empty tomb: He “was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.” The blood that covers you covers completely, and the resurrection is God’s own receipt that the payment was accepted.

Reflect

  1. Does knowing your sins are fully covered change how quickly you run back to God when you fail?
