Behold, The Lamb of God

I have a great hope that the message in this post will be communicated effectively.

"Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sins."
"He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised, for our iniquities. The chastisement that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed."
"All we like sheep had gone astray, each of us had turned to our own way but God has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all."
"There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death."

All of these quotes are straight from the Bible. They are in a song that is stuck in my head for about 7 years now. I know of so many people who live their lives not reflecting that they believe the truth that is in the statements above. I stand among these great many, as one who tends to wallow in self-doubt, hurt, and anguish over mistakes and a life lived in fear of falling short of God.

I apologize in advance for the amount of scripture / dictionary definitions to follow. Please be patient with this post and see it through to the end.

Oswald Chambers says that the Missionary's key message should be the propitiation of Christ.
"He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world." (1 John 2:2)
I was curious what exactly "propitiation" meant. I figured it meant something like "reconciliation" or "payment." Turns out I wasn't totally wrong in this case. Although if you look for propitiation in the dictionary, it's very existence is defined by "a response to appease / reconcile relationship with 'a deity'." I find this interesting, that we have a word (and probably not the only one) that exists in the English language under the assumption that there is some type of God out there. It is also one of those words that defines itself by using the word. Like, "Propitiation: the act of propitiating." Like that helps anyone know what a word means.

Moving on.
Propitiation means:
"A process by which it becomes consistent with his character and government to pardon and bless the sinner. The propitiation does not procure his love or make him loving; it only renders it consistent for him to exercise his love towards sinners."
Propitiation also means:
"Christ is called the 'propitiation for our sins.' Here a different Greek word is used (hilasmos). Christ is 'the propitiation,' because by his becoming our substitute and assuming our obligations he expiated our guilt, covered it, by the vicarious punishment which he endured."
::The above definitions were copied exactly from dictionary.com::

At this point, I had to look up expiated, which I guessed meant something like "relieved."
This word also happens to have its existence due to the existence of a God of some kind. It means "to make amends."

That was all background to support this statement.
I desire a relationship with Jesus Christ because I recognize that I am a sinner that needs help from Jesus Christ in order to have a relationship with God.

We started with, "Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sins." Jesus Christ took away my sins. The sins I have committed against God in the past, the sins that I commit every day (whether I realize it or not), and the sins that I will commit in the future that offend a Father in Heaven that wants nothing more than to be in a relationship with me.
Things that aren't like God do not exist in the presence of God. The blood of Christ that covers those who believe makes us holy and blameless...regardless of whether we "really" are. This is by far the most difficult gift for me to accept in life. I can't repay this. It's just like when someone forgives you, and you know you don't deserve it. You want to feel bad. You want to change, at least you should. I mean c'mon, if someone forgives you or shows you kindness and you have done nothing but hurt that person (even if it was unknowingly), you feel bad. There's immediate feeling of guilt.

But the feeling of guilt is wrong. Know why it's wrong? Because God doesn't want you to feel it. Christ fulfilled a perfect people in the eyes of God by His life, His death, and His resurrection. God "made amends" for your guilt. You don't have to feel guilty, and you shouldn't feel guilty about needing to be forgiven. Trust me, you're not the only one that needs to be forgiven. Every person that is in heaven, is in heaven because they needed to be forgiven for stuff. Stuff that was wrong in the eyes of God.

Jesus Christ did that. He did that for all people. The choice to accept this truth...is yours.
"There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death."
Right now, whether you believe in Jesus or not, Christ felt the pain for your stuff. Stuff in your life that is in conflict with the Character of God...Christ bled for that. A decision that turns eyes away from the truth when ears have heard it will be subject to the law of sin and death. That means you'll be judged, by God, according to your terms...instead of by the law of the Spirit of life...according to Jesus Christ's terms.

The law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.
