4.17.22 Hillside Bible Church Sermon - The Promise of Easter

Perfected by Christ
​
Christ has died and risen from the dead! This is the wonderful news of Easter. More than a merely historical event, Jesus' death and resurrection offer transformation to all who repent and believe. Hebrews 10 tells us that, through Christ, we stand perfected forever. Our status before God is that of a perfectly righteous saint. Our sins are entirely forgiven once and for all because Jesus paid the debt for us. At the same time, Hebrews 10:14 states that we are being sanctified. God is transforming our character by writing his law on our hearts and minds. The incredible result of our transformed status and character is that we are invited into the presence of the Holy God without fear. Thanks to the work of Jesus, our status, character, and access to God are all transformed! As one who has received this great gift, pray that the Lord will enable you to tell one other person about Jesus' work and call to faith this week.
