ABSOLUTE TRUST

Now where there is absolute forgiveness

of sin, there is no longer any offering made

to atone for sin.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we

have full freedom and confidence to enter

into the Holy of Holies in the blood of Jesus,

By this new and living way which He initiated,

dedicated and opened for us through the

separating curtain of the Holy of Holies, that

is through His flesh,

And since we have such a great, wonderful

and noble high Priest Who rules over the

house of God,

Let us all come forward and draw near with

true sincere hearts in unqualified assurance

and complete conviction engendered by

faith (by that leaning of the entire … Continue Reading

HEALED

He personally bore our sins in His body

on the tree, that we might die to sin and

live to righteousness. By His wounds you

have been healed.

(I. Peter 2. 24).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

THE LIFE OF GOD

This I say and solemnly testify in the Lord,

that you must no longer live as the heathen

do in their perverseness of their minds.

Their moral understanding is darkened

and their reasoning is beclouded.

They are alienated from the life of God

because of the ignorance that is deep-

seated in them, due to their hardness of

heart.

In their spiritual apathy they have become

callous and past feeling and reckless and

have abandoned themselves to unbridled

sensuality, eager and greedy to indulge

in every form of impurity.

But you did not so learn Christ!

Assuming that you have really heard Him

and been taught by Him, as Truth is in Jesus.

Strip yourselves of your … Continue Reading

JUST

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and

purify us from all unrighteousness.

(I. John 1.8 & 9).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

RAISED

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that

we will also live with Him.

For we know that since Christ

was raised from the dead,

He cannot die again; death no longer

has mastery over Him.

The death He died, He died to sin, once for all;

but the life He lives, He lives to God.

In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin,

but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

(Romans 6.8-11).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

IF

If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not

lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life.

I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death.

There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he

should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there

is sin that does not lead to death.

We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin;

the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one

cannot harm him. We know that we are the children of God, and

that the whole world … Continue Reading

WHO HAS

Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord

been disclosed?

For the Servant of God grew up before Him like a tender plant, and like

a root out of dry ground: He has no form or comeliness, that we should

look at Him, and no beauty that we should desire Him.

He was despised and rejected and forsaken by men, a Man of sorrows

and pains, and acquainted with grief and sickness; and like One from

Whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we did not appreciate

His worth or have any esteem for Him.

Surely He has borne our griefs … Continue Reading

CAN DO

I can do all things in Christ Who empowers me.

(Philippians 4.13).

With Jesus all things are possible.

You are capable and have strength in Christ.

His strength is sufficient.

In Christ we are able. He infuses His strength into us.

We are more than conquerors through Him Who loves

us and redeemed us from sin and death. He lives in us.

YES! AMEN!

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

TIME AND ETERNITY

Time and eternity, temporal and eternal are contrasts impossible to ignore.

We stand in awe as we see that for the joy that was set before Him, Jesus

Christ endured the cross, despising the shame and is seated at the right

hand of the glory on high. His mission accomplished is the salvation

of mankind, the rescue of humanity from futility, from the chains of sin,

evil and destruction.

Himself being eternal and beyond time, He entered the time and space continuum

He had created. He became one of us to make us one with Him.

Being eternally divine He became human to restore us to right relationship, to

fellowship with God.

In this … Continue Reading

THE WHOLE UNIVERSE

THE WHOLE UNIVERSE

But He ascended? Now what can this, He ascended, mean but that

He had previously descended from the heights of heaven into the

depths, the lower parts of the earth?

He Who descended is the very same as He Who also has ascended

high above all the heavens, that He might fill all things, the whole

universe with His presence, from the lowest to the highest.

(Ephesians 4.9 and 10).

POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE

1) He Who knew no sin became sin for us, so that we might become the

righteousness of God in Christ (I. Corinthians 5.21).

He entered into the fullness of human experience in order … Continue Reading
