THE SACRIFICAI LAMB OF GOD

 THE SACRIFICAIL LAMB OF GOD

He was wounded for our transgression; He was bruised for our iniquities and the chastisement of our peace was upon Him. Isaiah 53:4

The above scripture revealed that God sacrifices His lamb (Jesus) to purchase our salvation which is the proof of His love for humanity.

God have paid the highest scarify on the basis of love. He desires the best for you. He had already made provision for your salvation. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:6 

The death of Christ is an expression to show God’s love toward man. 

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believe in Him, should nor perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 .The Bible says but God commendeth His love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

The purpose of Christ death is to redeem us from all iniquities, and purify us unto himself a peculiar people zealous of good work. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say “ No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to love self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, as will wait for the blessed hope the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. Titus 2: 11 -14.

The salvation of your soul is important to God and also to you. It is important to God on the basis of love; (John 3:16). It is important to you because it’s your visa to God’s kingdom. Jesus said , I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh unto the father, but by me. Harden not your heart concerning the message of salvation, God loves you and He wants you to be save.

For it is not God’s will that any should perish, but all should come to repentance. So if you hear the word of God, harden not your heart.

“Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call on Him while He is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon Him; to our God, for he will abundantly pardon” (Isa. 55: 6 - 7) 

Confession

Lord Jesus I am sorry for all the wrong (sins)that  I have ever committed, have mercy on me, forgive me my sins and wash me with your blood. Give me the grace to live the life style that pleases you.  Amen.

The regenerated soul

" But as many that received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name John 1: 12"

Texts: Gal 4: 3-7, John 1:12, John 3: 3-5

To be regenerated means to be recreated in God's nature. it means to be born again. To be born again means to be born of the Spirit of God. To be born of God's Spirit means to be restructure in such a way that the Holy Spirit of God can dwell in the side of  you. No wonder the Bible says " If any man be in Christ Jesus; he's a new creature......  II Cor. 5:17".

And because you are born of the Spirit of God; Christ had given you dominion over everything he had created and to rule over them. Satan can not deny this fact except you are no longer under grace. As long as you have the grace of God in you, you are protected by His Spirit dwelling in the side of you.

 The attribute of a regenerated soul

1. Full of grace and truth: Because we are regenerated by He who is full of grace and truth, we are partaker of that nature (2 Peter 3: 18). Grace is not static, we need to grow in grace. It's the knowledge of the truth that enable us to grow in grace. The more of God's word you have kept in your heart, the more of His word you apply in your life, is a function of the level of grace operating in your life.

2. Partaker of His divine nature: But you are chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2: 9 )
