Never Lose Your Value…

26 Dec

1 Corinthians 6:20, “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

As we move more and more into a godless society where we reference more secular means of enlightenment, we need to stand firmly on the finished work of Jesus Christ. Our value in the eyes of the Most High is that of knowing exactly what Christ has done for the world. This is dying for the sins of every man and woman and thus granting us the grace and mercy to walk with YAH. While the world recognizes a higher power, it is not always YAH or Jesus that they are referencing when this is said. Being born again believers we need to always insert Jesus Christ in the matter in being the sin atonement for our sins, his sacrifice grants the Holy Spirit the liberty to work in our lives. John 14: 26, But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Reflecting the finished work of Jesus in our lives gives every man and woman value in the eyes of YAH, by knowing that He can work through us to bring His kingdom back to this sinful world (Matthew 6:10) in being a living sacrifice and testimony unto Him. To remain of value is to remain fully embedded in the Cross of Jesus Christ. While other beliefs can offer temporary happiness, Jesus offers eternal happiness and life as stated in John 3:16. I pray that the body of Christ remains bold in teaching all of what Jesus has done for us, and remain valuable witnesses to the finished work of Jesus Christ, Shalom…

YAH’s Standard Of Forgiveness…

12 Dec

Matthew 6:14-15 NKJV, “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

The Lord is looking for those who are truly willing to do His will and to be more like him. A parent of the Most High’s divine nature  is having the willingness to forgive those who have a pure heart, and want to be forgiven for their transgressions. This is such a core element of the Gospel message that refusing to do so can jeopardize our own salvation. So why is forgiveness so important, because this is a true reflection of what the Gospel is.

No matter the sin, we are forgiven! No matter what we have done, we can be forgiven, no matter the heartache we have caused or received, we have to forgive like our Heavenly Father. I know our human nature can cause a delay in forgiveness especially for major transgressions but we cannot allow our hate to override the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In such cases we need only to ask for the grace of the Holy Spirit to renew a clean spirit (Psalm 51:10-12) within us, in order to do His will.

I always remember that the Cross of Christ covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). So if the Most High can forgive those who truly with a pure heart ask for forgiveness, then we must as well submit to His divine will, Shalom.

Corinthians 15:14, “And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.”

6 Dec

“The Bible states that Jesus Christ is the atonement for our sins, the perfect sacrifice unto YAH (1 John 2:2). The Apostle Paul is simply saying if Christ was not risen His sacrifice was in vain and deemed unworthy in the eyes of YAH, thus making the Gospel null. 
However we know that the sacrifice Christ made  was good in the eyes of YAH, as recorded in Matthew 28:5-6, “

But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”

Without the Lord’s resurrection the Gospel is no different than other religions, placing salvation on good works but no true escape from sin and death. I praise the Most High for Jesus Christ and raising him from the grave for the remission of sin and death, Shalom…
