One Year Bible: Day 313 - Ezekiel 17:1-18:32; Hebrews 9:16-28; Psalm 121:1-8
The Word of God calls us to repentance - “Repent and live!” (Ezekiel 18:32).
This repentance does not earn salvation for us. While we are called to
“repent and live”, we must understand that eternal life is God’s gift,
given to us on the basis of Christ’s death as the perfect sacrifice
for our sins: “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” (Hebrews 9:22).
The foundation of our salvation is Christ’s death for our sins:
“Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people.”
There is an appropriate response to His saving death. We are to wait
for Him - He “brings salvation to those who are waiting for Him” (Hebrews 9:28). As we wait for Him, we look forward to life “both now and for evermore” (Psalm 121:8).
