As Believers, we need to have a greater understanding of the gravity of God's sacrifice. If we'd actually look deeper into what happened on the cross, we would see that nothing ordinary occurred there. There would be much more value given to Jesus if we could understand what He's coming took and the changes it made.

 

 


 

In the Acts of the Apostles, when Peter encountered some Jews, he told them about Jesus.....

"You rejected the man who was holy and innocent. You asked to have a murderer given to you, and you killed the source of life. But God brought him back to life, and we are witnesses to that." [Acts 3:14-15 (God's word)]

Jesus coming to this Earth caused Him His very own life! To save you and I, He had to die. 

 

 

 

 

It looks and sounds easier on paper right? Imagine being killed by the ones you came to save? That's how much it took from Him.

However, the book of Hebrews says....."𝑯𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑱𝒐𝒚 𝒂𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒊𝒎, 𝒔𝒐 𝑯𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒖𝒑𝒐𝒏 𝑯𝒊𝒎". 

 

  

 

 

Now, the question is "What was the Joy He saw ahead?"  "Through the blood of his Son, we are set free from our sins. God forgives our failures because of his overflowing kindness." [ Ephesians 1:7 (GNT)]

Through the death of Jesus on the cross, we are set free from our sins! And our failures are all gone! Hallelujah!!!

  

 

 

 

Can you see what Jesus has achieved for us and what it took for Him? Apostle Peter said in his first Epistle that..."𝑯𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒅 𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒔 𝒘𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒅. 𝑯𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒔𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒆𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔, 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒔𝒊𝒏". This is what Jesus did for us.

 

 

 

 

This sacrifice that Jesus made is the reason for Christianity and our access to the Father. Now the Holy Spirit, which is God's Presence and Answer, has been given to us in our hearts forever. 

 

 

 

 

Jesus Christ is now the only hope we can hold onto, the only person who is ever faithful and the only place where true love is found. 

 

 

 

 

As much as we acknowledge God for any other miracle that has been done, always remember to praise Him for the price He paid. 

Jesus is the reason we are living.

The Commandment of God

  𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 John 12:50  And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak.     𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 can be defined as an order that was given or an "𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒕" (a proclamation of a Law or an authoritative command).     𝗟𝗮𝘄, on the other hand, is defined a body of rules and standards of a particular region.     In some other cases, in the Bible, it can be used to define "A well-established, observed physical characteristic or behavior of nature".     When Jesus was one Earth, most particularly on getting to his death, he spoke to his disciples about certain commandments which were endorsed by God.      John 14:15  "If you love me, keep my commandments."       John 14:21  "He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, a...

Justification by Faith

  𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰: Justified by Faith 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝘁: Romans 5 vs 1  "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ"     Justification, in context with the verse above, means to be absolved (to set free, release ) and declared free of blame or sin.     Through the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, all those who believe in him are justified or set free of sin. Romans 4:25  "Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification (our acquittal), [making our account balance and absolving us from all guilt before God]."     𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 "𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧"? By Faith     Romans 4:24  "But [they were written] for our sakes too. [Righteousness, standing acceptable to God] will be granted and credited to us also who believe in (trust in, adhere to, and rely on) God, Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead," ...

No longer in sin

  𝗡𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗻 Some people, at the moment of first glance, due to the tone or the boldness of the phrase above, might think this is an excerpt that condemns.  It's best if you read through.     (1)  Romans 6:1  "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?" Romans 6:2  "God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"     This text above has been used by many people unto condemnation or to exalt the "power" of sin. Thereby making the listener or reader become ignorant to the finished work of Christ by twicking with his/her emotions.     Let's use the law of pretext here.    (2) Romans 5:20  "Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:" Romans 5:21 " That as sin has reigned to death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."    ...
