When you give your life to Jesus, you are acknowledging, that you cannot earn you way to heaven, by following a bunch of rules (The Law). Your faith in Jesus, takes away any condemnation from the penalty of the Law.

Taken from John MacArthur Study Bible (Highly Recommend)
I have been crucified with Christ. See notes on Ro 6:2–6 . When a person trusts in Christ for salvation, he spiritually participates with the Lord in His crucifixion and His victory over sin and death. no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The believer’s old self is dead ( see note on Eph 4:22 ), having been crucified with Christ ( Ro 6:3 , 5 ). The believer’s new self has the privilege of the indwelling Christ empowering him and living through him ( see notes on Ro 8:9 , 10 ). gave Himself up for me. The manifestation of Christ’s love for the believer through His sacrificial death on the cross ( Jn 10:17 , 18 ; Ro 5:6–8 ; Eph 5:25–30 ).

www.bible.com/116/act.1.8.nltThe Apostles had not received the Holy Spirit yet. They had done many things for Jesus. Once they received the Spirit, they were able to do great things with Boldnes in the name of Jesus. How about you? Do you Believe? I believe and am not ashamed of the Gospel! May we declare with boldness, that in this sinful world, there are trials, but we have Victory thru Jesus. Not in world systems, man’s wisdom, world leaders, or any other created thing. Is is only through King Jesus!
We have new life, for those in Christ, because he gave his life for us. May we never forget this wonderful gift, that it might fill us with new purpose, and hope, every day.
Just as God chose Jesus, he chose us before the foundations of the earth. May we follow Jesus lead, and may the Father be well pleased in our service, and our proclaiming the Good News to both Jew and Gentile.
” behold , my servant whom I have chosen ; my beloved in whom my soul is well – pleased ; I will put my spirit upon Him , and he shall proclaim justice to the gentiles .

Jesus, was fully man, and fully God! Later on, he would say, if you want to know the Father, you need to go through me. He said, I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, except through me (John 14:6. If you seek and follow Jesus teachings, you will find, life eternal. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whosoever believer in him, should have eternal life.
“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.

Thank you Jesus, that you guide our steps. I know we make mistakes, but this is a reminder that without you, we are lost. May you open our eyes today, that we might see clearly, the path before us. Even if it is a different path that we were going to choose today. Amen!
for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
