The Death of Christ

cross, God, Jesus, love, salvation, Savior

Hello dear believers,

Oh, what wonderful love God has for us all! A love so sweet and blessed. A love flowing and freely given. How do we know God really loves us? By beholding the Cross. The Cross is the place where God puts His love on display for all the world to see. What love is this that Jesus Christ would die a painful and humiliating death on the Cross for our sins, that we might be forgiven and freed from sins power and its condemnation, that we might be reconciled to the Father and that we would be raised us up together to enjoy a new, empowered life in Him? Victorious life in the Spirit. Praise be to His holy name forever!

Romans 5:8

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. NIV

God loves us.

Oh, what a glorious love this is. Love for the world. Love for sinners no matter how depraved. Love for the poor. Love for the sick. Love for the broken. Love for the lost. Love for the saved. Love for all! Love, love, love and more love. A love that we can never lose! A love that conquers all and reigns supreme. Can we ever fully understand or appreciate the depths of this love that is poured out upon us? It’s height, its width, its depth? How can we ever thank Him for His abundant love and the gift of His only begotten Son? How do I love Him, let me count the ways!

God has demonstrated His love for us in sending Jesus.

If you want to know what love is, look to the Cross. Behold the Lamb! Slain from the foundation of the world, Jesus was innocent of any and all accusations leveled against Him. He did no wrong! He was the sinless, spotless Lamb without blemish. No sin was found in Him. None. It was our sin that was laid upon Him and it was our punishment He received in His body. He was bruised for our transgressions, not His own. They mocked Him, beat Him, scourged Him and murdered the King of Heaven through the cruelest means of all: crucifixion.

Jesus came to die for us. 

We were unable to save ourselves. We were born into sin and enslaved by it. He came to die, He could have called a myriad of angels to bring Him down from the Cross if He had chosen to, but love held Him there, not the nails in His hands and feet. For the joy that was set before Him. You. Me. Us. Jesus came to purchase our salvation and only He could pay the price. He paid in blood. Sinless blood. He came to earth on a mission, and when Jesus cried out from the Cross “It is finished” it was mission accomplished. Victory was won. Behold, Jesus Christ, Savior of the world!

Even when we were yet sinners.

So, here’s the facts: We were unable to save ourselves. We were born into sin and enslaved by it. Sin had us bound and in chains. We may have wanted to do good but had no power to do it. We were dead in our trespasses and sins. Satan had us in his grip and if we had died without Christ, Hell would have been our place of eternal punishment and it would be a punishment we rightly deserved. We would have been hopelessly separated from the life and love of God in Christ.  Yes, the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. See, Jesus is the Reconciler between man and God. He is the Way, the Truth and the life and no one comes to the Father but by Him. One Way Jesus, same yesterday, today and forever. Come unto Him and be set free. Free to live. Amen.

Will you receive His love? A love you don’t deserve? This revelation of God’s love requires of you a response. Will you admit you have sinned and need salvation? Can you humble yourself like that? Behold the Cross! What a glorious salvation was purchased for us all through the shed Blood of Christ at Calvary! Open up your heart and receive Christ today and praise His Name forevermore. Amen.

Sister B

Shine like a jewel!

faith, Jesus, shine, Spiritual gift

Hello blessed ones,

Enjoy your day and all God has laid out for you. He has designed you to shine like a jewel!

Image

You have been given amazing spiritual gifts by the grace of God. So use them, according to your faith. You are not just talented but divinely empowered, filled with the Spirit. God wants to speak through you today to address the needs of others. Start at home with the people you love dearest and branch out from there. Welcome interruptions. Who you bump into today is no accident! Bless the person in front of you. Could it be that God would like to speak through you to bring encouragement or comfort to a downcast believer? Who knows what a difference just a simple word can make , it could be the difference between a weary saint giving up or persevering in faith. May all God’s children find their strength in Him!

Romans 12: 6-8

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering:or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation:he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Go shine,

Sister B

All our sins washed away!

cleansing, great is your faithfulness, holiest name, Jesus, mercy, spirituality

Hello called out ones,

Isn’t it wonderful to realise that all our sins are washed away through the precious blood of the Cross? And, friends, it means a continual cleansing is available to us. God’s mercies are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness. It is of the
LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They
are new every morning: great is Your faithfulness. Lam 3:22-23

Each day present your bodies a living sacrifice to God, holy, acceptable, which is you reasonable service. Romans 12: 1

My hands are no longer for touching any unclean thing; a cigarette, a bottle, a needle, a man who is not my husband. Or to steal something that is not mine. To hurt or to harm myself or others. But no, my hands are blessed to heal, to comfort and supply the needs of others. Even to write these words of encouragement to you today.

My feet are not for going to clubs to gamble, bars to get drunk, they are not for destroying property or kicking the dog. They are blessed feet, sent feet, sent into the world to bring good news. How beautiful are those feet to God. Is 52:7 and may we all walk in His ways as He directs our steps.

My voice is not for swearing, cursing or blaspheming the holiest Name in heaven and earth! No but my voice is given to proclaim the great message of salvation and to exalt His holy name. Let the high praise of God be continually upon my lips. My voice is given to bless my fellow believers and comfort the downcast. I can speak light into dark places. May God speak clearly through me. And you.

Dear believers, if you have failed in any way and your conscience is convicted, bring your confession to the foot of the Cross and let the Father forgive cleanse you, and then get right back up and live for Jesus, no doubting. Keep short accounts with God for we all stumble in many things. Let God use even your greatest failures as a living illustration of His great mercy in action! It’s all part of your testimony now.

See yourself as a called out one, separated out of the world in order to do God’s will on earth. See yourself as a blessed one who holds out the words of life. You are a conduit of blessing to the people around you who walk in darkness. Turn the light on and shine for Christ.

Love and blessings from

Sister B
