More than Just a Clean Slate

I was listening to a Cornerstone podcast and heard something along the lines of:

Let's say you write a check. There's not enough money in your account. The check bounces. Your bank charges you a fee. Now you owe the bank. You forgot about another check you wrote. It bounces too. You're charged another fee. Now you owe the bank even more!

Let's assume someone notices your struggle to make ends meet. They pay off your debt to the bank. It's just the break you've been waiting for. Now you have a clean slate. BUT if you go to the ATM to withdraw $50, all you're going to see are goose eggs. You still don't have any money. You're still broke!

But what if someone says "Let me sell my house, my car, cash in my retirement accounts, etc. and give you everything I have." This is more than the break you've been waiting for. Not only do you have a clean slate, but that $50 is going to be there!

That's what Christ has done for us. His death on the cross has cleaned our slate and by placing our faith in Him, we have a right standing relationship with our Heavenly Father.
