#cross of jesus

[essence-of-femininity]

My thoughts:

Never come down from the Cross, even let yourself be nailed to it with the Lord Jesus. All graces flow from the Cross and must be redeemed by suffering.

May God bless you and wipe away the tears from your eyes +

Because Holy Week is around the corner, I was reminiscing to this past summer when I had an opportunity to see a splinter from the cross of Jesus.

John the Baptist came preaching a word of repentance….then Jesus came.

Repentance Vs. Confession:

When one first comes to Christ, they must repent and make Jesus the Lord of their life. (Romans 10:9-10). In the act of repentance, one turns from the world and makes a change. Afterwards, if we sin, 1 John 1:9 tells us that if we “confess” our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive our sins. So we have moved from repentance to confession.

Many Believers today are living in “a doctrine ” of constant repentance…we are not called to that place. Those who do, fail to see Gods’ grace continually at work within them. We live in His ongoing forgiveness that is provided for us, as (1 John 1:9) tells us that if we walk in the light, (notice it says “if” we walk in the light), we are “continuously” cleansed from all unrighteousness through His blood. (Amplified) Those who live a life of repentance, will never enjoy, nor can they know the fullness that is available to them through Gods grace. Living in a constant state of repentance appeals only to the flesh. Hebrews 1:6 tells us to move on from repentance and move into maturity. “Therefore, let us leave the elementary teaching of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, faith in God, etc.”

The flesh is always looking for ways to earn its way to God, or to earn His approval in order to perfect oneself, when in Christ, we have already been made perfect. (Hebrews 10:14) At times, people have tried to make the biblical term “threshing floor”..(a place of ongoing lamenting), to become a place of reality for those who already know Christ and are forgiven, but this too is only an act of the flesh, trying to make one more holy, when we are already counted as holy in Christ.

A life of always believing that repentance is where we stay, will keep us at the cross. At that point, we have failed to see the cross as a “finished” work. Jesus went on and resurrected to life. Forgiveness was provided, just the same as our healing and peace. So, as Believers, if we sin, we “confess” our sins, but we move on and “live” in the forgiveness of Christ. We don’t keep doing our first works over through “repentance”. We’ve been forgiven. Let us live in the provision of His forgiveness through His great grace!

Fickle Favor

This is the beginning of Holy Week. I hope you enjoy this devotional on Palm Sunday, that has a unique theme of Godly wisdom. God bless ya.

Is God’s comfort too little for you? Is his gentle word not enough? What has taken away your reason? What has weakened your vision, that you turn against God and say all these evil things?  Job 15:11-13 NLT They plotted against Jesus to kill Him because nothing worked that they tried to do to control Him, to stop His message of truth and life, which was counter cultural to their religiosity of…

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

Today, March 5th, is Primary Election Day here in Texas.  I am up and at ‘em to head to my polling location where I’ll be working from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. tonight.  I am stoked.  I can’t begin to convey how patriotic I feel about being a part of this process.    There will be long lines of voters despite the last two weeks of Early Voting opportunities.  Many people will say to us, “Thank you…

It's Never Too Late

God's love can't even begin to be measured and that has a lot to do with the characteristic of grace and mercy that goes before it. It is never too late to receive God's Love. Never Too Late!

For here is the way God loved the world—he gave his only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life. “God did not send his Son into the world to judge and condemn the world, but to be its Savior and rescue it! John 3:16-17 God Waits With Us – For Us – On Us It is never too late… that is what is so amazing about God. Our God…
