Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

This year, we want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through our study Christ and all of Scripture.

Each week we will dive deeply into two passages of Scripture, one from the Old Testament and one from the New,

seeing how they connect and point to Jesus.

Whether you are doing the study yourself or just following along with us here, we are

hopeful that through studying these passages each week, you will see how Christ is not only present

throughout the entire biblical story, but the center of it.

is poured out for us. When Jesus dies, he takes our sin upon himself and in return, we are

clothed in his righteousness. So when God looks at us, he doesn't see our sin, he sees Christ righteousness.

And it's only by this means that God can forgive our sins and not remember them. And as I said,

this is an essential first step in the establishment of the new covenant. I love that you zeroed in

what God says in Jeremiah 31, 34. God's forgiveness just really is incredible. I think it's easy to forget

how incredible it is because we have already received God's forgiveness, but to know that God will
