One Sacrifice


There is a simple little verse that illustrates our accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior, in other words, our being born again. It goes like this; “Born once…die twice; born twice…die once.” This simply reveals that unless we are born again, we will die twice; once as a physical death and then a second spiritual death. To only die once all we must do is accept Christ. Jesus made it so simple for us when He made His one sacrifice on the cross for all of our sins.

In Hebrews 10:11 the Bible speaks about all those who go about doing what they believe are their good works, and making sacrifices for what they think will gain them forgiveness for their sins, but we learn as we read this scripture their efforts are all futile since there is only one way to receive God’s forgiveness and that is to accept His Son, Jesus. When we do we are then forgiven, and we are born again!

The Bible says in (Hebrews 10:14-18); Because by one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: “This is the covenant I will make with them \ after that time, says the Lord. / I will put my laws into their hearts, / and I will write them on their minds.” Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts / I will remember no more.”

What a confidence we have as Christians! What joy we have in Christ Jesus! We are saved…we are saved…we are SAVED! We must go and tell the world!

APPROVED

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). (2 Timothy 2:14-26) instructs those whom He knows are His ; and don’t we aspire to be recognized as such, to be approved by God? He tells us to avoid godless chatter (gossip), because we will become more and more ungodly. God warns that what we say can affect others, even destroying the faith of some. Heaven forbid we should say anything to do such damage!   Approved we flee the evil desires of youth we pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because we know they only produce quarrels. As God’s servants we mustn’t quarrel; instead we must be kind, able to teach, and be not resentful.   Approved we are to gently instruct those who oppose us, hoping God will grant them repentance and lead them to the knowledge of His truth.

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...
