"He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (II Corinthians 5:21)
What would you like to do this day? For me, I no longer ask -- "Lord, what would you like me to do this day?" You see, I am no longer a servant or a slave but a Bride of the Most High King, head over heals in love for my husband Jesus Christ!!!
Why? Because He who was delivered up for our transgressions did not have to do anything on our behalf. But the good news is that when Almighty God declared peace to one and all, He was also willing to became our Saviour. He provided an atonement that went far beyond anyone's expectations because while we were yet sinners - far removed from His presence and grace - He loved us.
This is the reason why there is only one way to heaven. For by this one offering, He perfected for all time those who believe in Jesus by faith. By His precious blood shed on the cross, He paid the price for our sin once and for all. From an old covenant perspective, He fulfilled all the requirements of the Law, becoming the perfect sacrifice. he became the curse for us for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree." (Galatians 3:10-13)
Jesus - the King of Kings accomplished the work of salvation for you and I. He clothes us with His righteousness when we ask Jesus into our life, repenting of our sins and are baptized in His name. (Acts 2:37-42)
Not about us but Jesus only! Jesus - the Alpha and Omega, the first and last, the beginning and the end. Jesus -- the One and Only Way to heaven. Jesus - neither is there any other name given under heaven whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)
Press into Jesus today! Accept His goodness and grace in your life. Stand in the offering plate.
