JESUS WAS WILLING TO GO TO A CROSS FOR YOU
1. Because Jesus was resurrected we now have the Hope that these natural bodies will be resurrected again.
1 Corinthians 15:13-17 I recommend reading all of chapter 15.
2. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead, lives through the Holy Spirit within every true believer. Read John chapter 14
3. Jesus is our living Hope 1 Peter 1:3
4. We have been bought by the precious blood of Jesus 1 Peter 1:18-19
5. We are now heirs and joint heirs with Christ Jesus, our inheritance is to be in His presence for all eternity. Romans 8:17
6. We have been delivered from the kingdom of darkness and we have been forgiven of our sins Colossians 1:13-14
7. On the cross He cancelled our debt that stood against us, He nailed it to the cross. He disarmed Satan and took all authority away from him. Colossians 2:14-15
8. He has given us authority over Satan and his demons, through the power of binding and loosening. Matthew 16:19 the word "Keys" in this scripture means "authority".
So much more I could say, but that is enough for now. Once we were saved our position changed, we are now seated in heavenly places. We have been given the power to say no when tempted. When we do sin we have an advocate, Jesus and when we repent and ask for forgiveness, we are forgiven. We are now children of the kingdom of light when we walk in love as children of the light. We have been cleansed by the blood of Christ. Found in 1 John 1:7
The word tells us that we were once dead but we have been made alive by His grace, not by our works but by His grace. We are now a new creation. Now begins a time until our lives here ends, called sanctification, maturing in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Christ blood cleansed us and saved us, and God will grow us, our part is to abide in Him, stay in His word, stay in fellowship with our Lord. We are instructed to put off the old man and put on the new man, this is done daily. Tomorrow Lord willing we will look at "What are we suppose to do now?"
