12 Victorias Que Dios Logró Sobre Tu Pecado: Y Tres Cosas Que Nunca Hará

Muchos cristianos han experimentado días o incluso temporadas de sentirse extremadamente culpables por pecados pasados o presentes, y piensan que Dios está enojado o indignado con ellos. Algunas veces incluso se preguntan si en realidad son salvos. Esto usualmente sucede cuando el creyente se enfoca en sus pecados y olvida lo que Cristo ya ha hecho en la cruz por él. Sam Storms lo explica de esta manera: "Lo que nos consume es lo que hemos hecho al pecar. Lo que nos debe consumir es una meditación agradecida en lo que Dios ha hecho con nuestros pecados".
En su más reciente libro, Storms aborda la ansiedad sobre el pecado y le recuerda a los creyentes las buenas noticias del evangelio. Comienza con una explicación de la gloria de la sustitución penal y camina a través de las 12 cosas que Dios hizo con su pecado, entre las cuales están: Lo perdonó, pasó sobre él y lo echó en las profundidades del mar. También explica tres cosas que Dios nunca hará con su pecado, como contarlo en su contra. Al explicar las enseñanzas de Dios, Storms ayuda a los creyentes a encontrar libertad, gozo y paz en saber lo que Dios ha hecho (y nunca hará) con su pecado a través del sacrificio redentor de Jesús.

Every Christian has experienced days or even seasons of feeling extreme guilt over past or present sins, thinking that God is angry or disgusted with them―sometimes even wondering if they're truly saved. This often happens when believers fixate on their sins while forgetting what Christ has already done on their behalf at the cross. Sam Storms explains it this way: "What consumes us is what we have done by sinning. What ought to consume us is grateful meditation on what God has done with our sinning."
In his latest book, Storms addresses this anxiety over sin by reminding believers of the good news of the gospel. Beginning with an explanation of the glory of penal substitution, he walks through 12 things God did with their sin, including forgiving it, passing over it, and casting it into the depths of the sea. He also explains 3 things God will never do with their sin, such as counting it against them. Walking through the Bible's teaching, Storms helps believers find freedom, joy, and peace in knowing what God has done (and will never do) with their sin through the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus.
