<p>At the cross, you didn’t just receive forgiveness—you lost some things too. Here’s what Scripture says is gone:<br>1. Your old self – Crucified with Christ (Rom 6:6)<br>2. All your sin – Removed forever (Ps 103:12)<br>3. Your inability to please God – Replaced with His Spirit (Rom 8:8)<br>4. Bondage to the law – You’re now under grace (Rom 7:6)<br>5. Guilt &amp; condemnation – None left for you in Christ (Rom 8:1)<br>6. Rejection &amp; fear of punishment – Driven out by perfect love (1 John 4:18)</p>

<p>🔥 The moment you trusted in Jesus, you gained more than you could imagine:<br>1. Peace with God &amp; total forgiveness (2 Cor 5:19, Col 2:13)<br>2. Christ’s identity as your own – You are accepted and righteous (Eph 1:6)<br>3. His life in you – You now live by His faith and power (Gal 2:20)<br>4. A new nature &amp; identity – You’re not a sinner trying to be holy. You are holy! (2 Cor 5:17)<br>5. New desires – You want what God wants (Gal 5:18)<br>6. Full rights as a child of God – You belong! (Gal 3:26)<br>7. Confidence &amp; authority – You’re His ambassador (1 Pet 2:9)</p>
