Christian - forgiven - grateful

Welcome! My name is Richard Templin Hancock and I am a senior citizen who has found great peace in his old age in the forgiveness that Jesus Christ offers to sinners. I enjoy reading my Bible and recording short Devotional podcasts with the aim to encourage us all to have faith in God and follow His Son Jesus Christ every day.
I hope the following blog posts will be an encouragement to you:

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.
