I am at one with God, rescued from myself, just as if I'm perfect, because Jesus paid it all. May there be something deep within us all that compels us to this confession. There are four words that give rise to this declaration, in order: atonement, redemption, justification, and propitiation. Each word is expressed through each of the four phrases. I hope those four words inspire you to do some research to learn more about them!
In John 1:29, John the Baptist proclaims referencing Jesus, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!". To the predominantly Jewish audience in attendance, that phrase had great meaning...Exodus 12. Picking up from our line of thought from yesterday, there is only one way to conquer Pharaoh in each of our hearts, Jesus.
Beyond intellectual ascent, we must cross the threshold of devotion, a vow to live for Jesus if His sacrifice is to be upon the doorpost of our lives!
