NEW AND LIVING WAY

Whereas Christ, after He had offered Himself as

sacrifice for our sins for all time, sat down at the

right hand of God,

Then to wait until His enemies should be made a

stool beneath His feet.

For by a single offering He has forever completely

cleansed and perfected those who are consecrated.

And also the Holy Spirit adds His testimony to us.

For having said,

This is the covenant that I will conclude with them

after those days, says the Lord: I will imprint My

laws upon their hearts, I will inscribe them on their

minds,

He then goes on to say, And their sins I will remember

no more.

Now where there is absolute … Continue Reading

FOR US

Be imitators of God, therefore,

as dearly loved children and live

a life of love, just as Christ loved

us and gave Himself up for us as

a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

(Ephesians 5. 1 & 2).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

CHRIST’S SACRIFICE ONCE FOR ALL

The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming- not the

realities themselves.

For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly

year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.

If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshippers

would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty

for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, because it

is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said:

“Sacrifice and offering you did not … Continue Reading

THIS IS LOVE

This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent

His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

(I. John 4.10).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

SUPERABUNDANT FAVOR

SUPERABUNDANT FAVOR

But then Law came in

to expand the trespass

and make it apparent.

But where sin increased

God’s unmerited favor

superabounded.

So that as sin reigned

in death,

even so grace ( unearned

favor) might reign through

righteousness to eternal life

through Jesus Christ or Lord.

( Romans 5.20 and 21).

OUR RESPONSE TO

GOD’S SUPERABUDANT

FAVOR

is to yield ourselves as a

living sacrifice to God

as we shall see in the

following verses.

(Those of us who were

baptized into Christ Jesus

were baptized into His death.

We were buried therefore

with Him through baptism into

death, so that just as Christ was

raised from the dead by the

glory of the Father, even so

we also should walk in newness

of life.

( Romans 6.1-3).

LIFE AND DEATH

LIFE AND DEATH

Therefore My Father loves Me, because

I lay down My life that I may take it again.

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down

of Myself. I have power to lay it down and

I have power to take it again.

This command I received from My father.

( John 10.17 and 18).

 

Jesus Christ the Best Shepherd willingly took on

the sin, suffering and death of humanity.

He who knew no sin became the ultimate sin

sacrifice.

He took  on humanity by becoming a human.

He gave us salvation and eternal life.

Please meditate and pray on these points.
