GOSPEL NUGGET #434

EX 9:25 The hail struck all that was in the field through all the land of Egypt…
EX 9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, there was no hail.
As you can see there is no condemnation to those who are in the land of Goshen.
The land of Goshen here is a picture of our position in Christ. Outside of Goshen, there was judgment and destruction. In Goshen, there was peace, security and safety.
You see, outside of Goshen, you can admit that you are a sinner, you can have correct theology that God is the Lord Yahweh and that He is righteous and you are depraved (See all these in Exodus 9:27-28). But if you are not in Goshen, you will be judged.
In the same way, it is not our confession, our correct theology, our religiosity that can save us. What saves a sinner is the blessed fact that he or she is in Christ.
RO 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
And you can be in Christ if you trust in Him and what He did on the cross for salvation. Trust and put your confidence in Him now for your salvation.
