Yes, as Christians washed in the Blood of Christ, we are not defined by our sin, as sin no longer binds us. According to Ephesians, the moment we become Believers in Christ, we are seated with Him in the heavenly places. We are already there, as Christ’s righteousness is imputed to us! We are no longer labeled liars, swindlers, drunkards, fornicators, etc. We are now children of God and the bride of Christ. Not perfect—far from it— but completely forgiven. It’s amazing grace indeed!
The best part of all this, is that God’s Word is being repeated over and over in the media, both in written and spoken form, as reporters repeat Phil’s comments, which come from Scripture. God’s Word never comes back void, and He will use this for His glory!
Amen!
