Christian - forgiven - grateful

Welcome. My name is Richard Templin Hancock and I’m here to encourage you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. I'm glad you're here—let's walk this path together.
I hope these blog posts will be a source of encouragement to you as you walk with Jesus:

Jesus Died For You!

Jesus took the punishment for your sins.
Isaiah 53:5  But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

Jesus was delivered for your trespasses.
Romans 4:25  who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

Jesus died for your sins according to the Scriptures.
1 Corinthians 15:3  For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

Jesus was offered once to bear your sins.
Hebrews 9:28  so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

Jesus bore your sins in his body on the cross.
1 Peter 2:24-25  who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.
For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Jesus assures you forgiveness if you call on Him.
Romans 10:13  For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Isn't it wonderful that Jesus makes it personal? He loves you. He died for you.
