Thus the cross, which, as God's Word tells us, "blot[ed] out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross" (Col 2:14).
God's Word tells us, "he [Jesus] obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them...[and] in that he says, A new covenant, he has made the first old. Now that which decays and waxes old is ready to vanish away" (Hebrews 8:6-8,13).
Therefore, because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, "sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace" (Romans 6:14).
This is the best news I've ever heard. But that's exactly what the gospel is: GOOD NEWS!
