Jesus’ work on the cross was not limited to the forgiveness of your sins, it was an act of reconciliation that allows for intimacy and oneness with God. God’s deepest desire is union with you. It is time for the church to let go shame, striving, and entitlement and take Jesus at his word. For the world to be compelled by Christianity, Christ’s bride must wake up and recognize that all of the work has already been done. Our only call is to rest in his presence. The gospel is better than you think.
