Because of the Blood of Jesus
Scripture: John 3:36Devotional Series: Resurrection Life
Teaching: Resurrection Life pt. 1 (SUN_AM 2021-04-04) by Pastor Star R Scott
When you’re in right standing with God, nothing you’ve done, that ever offended Him, will be looked upon again because of the blood of Jesus. That’s what makes you righteous, that you believe that His death was sufficient, His blood being shed was sufficient to pay for our sins. Because of that, we subordinate ourselves and recognize His lordship.
Father, we come in the name of Jesus, so grateful, so grateful for Your love. So thankful that we can rejoice that You’ve been raised from the dead, and that has brought us our justification. Hallelujah! We’re a people who are blessed. You’ve begotten us unto life, unto a lively hope because of the resurrection of Christ. We look forward to Your coming. We look forward to that voice declaring, “Come up hither.” Hallelujah! Thank You for making Yourself known to us internally by the Holy Spirit that dwells in us. This Holy Spirit that bears witness with our spirit that we are the sons of God. We know we’re born-again. We know we’re accepted in the Beloved. We know that you’re our Father, and that You have prepared a place for us, and that there’s nothing that can separate us from the love of God that’s in Christ Jesus.
Father, if any of those that are visiting us have never bowed their knee to Your lordship, we ask that they would do that now. It’s so freely given. Only selfishness and pride and dominance by the darkness that Satan brings can keep a man from turning to this free gift. I thank You for that day that I recognized it, Lord, and that You became my personal savior. Now, for over fifty years, You’ve never done anything but good. Thank You, Father. Make it real in these lives.
If you’re here, and that’s the condition you’re in, and your heart’s crying out, “This is what I need. I need that peace that you spoke of. I need to get rid of this fear. I need to get rid of this guilt and shame in my life.” Then, I’d encourage you right now in your heart, the Bible said, if you will believe that that death of Jesus on the cross was sufficient, and that God has raised Jesus from the dead and will confess that with your mouth, you will be saved. I’d encourage you, right now, you can whisper it. It doesn’t have to be heard by anybody around you, “Lord I believe that, and I receive You as my personal savior.” Oh, you’ll need more instruction, but if that’s your heart’s cry right this moment, He won’t reject you. We saw that He died for all. He’s not willing that any would perish. “Jesus, I need You to forgive my sins and to become my Lord. I receive Your free gift. Lord, I receive it in the name of Jesus.” You’ll leave here a new creation, a new creature. The Bible says old things will pass away, and all things will become new. If you’ve made that decision, tell someone, “I’ve made Jesus my Savior.” What a great, great, memory that would be to become a new creature, born again, a child of God, on resurrection Sunday. Hallelujah!
Father, we come, and pray for these. We’ve all done the same thing. We’ve all come the same way. We were all sinners, Father. We all had to make this decision at one time. Give them grace, Father. Give them that peace of heart, right now, to know that this is their day. Hallelujah!
