Jesus came to earth, not to destroy the Law but to fulfil the law. The new covenant came through the life of Jesus as a man on earth, His death on the cross, where He died in the place of you and I and then through the resurrection, Jesus conquered death.
But do not be deceived. Jesus warned of hell. And as Heaven is real, so is hell. And we are not able to atone for sins. That is why the Law of the Old Testament needed to be fulfilled. Blood has to be shed for the atonement of sins.
The ultimate blood shed for you and I is the blood of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Jesus took all of our sins, past, present and future onto that cross and He bore all our sins and paid the price for once and for all. We, therefore, have no need to offer sacrifices up to GOD to have forgiveness of our sins.
All we have to do, is to accept Jesus Christ is our Redeemer. We need to confess that we have sinned. Yes, you and I are sinners. We are born in sin. And we cannot do anything by ourselves to justify ourselves to a Holy and Pure and Righteous GOD.
But Jesus did it all for us. We therefore have to believe in this. And once we confess the Name of Jesus Christ, The Way, The Truth, The Life, we are saved.
The Holy Spirit takes up residence in us and convicts us of our sins.
So should we carry on sinning. Certainly not! To do that is to crucify Jesus again and again.
Yes we will sin. We are sinners. But the Holy Spirit living in us, will direct us to sin less and less.
In order to be filled with the Holy Spirit, we need to pray constantly and we need to read the Word. We need to fellowship with like minded people. And most of all we need to continually ask our FATHER in Heaven, to direct our paths. Away from hell!
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, thank YOU for YOUR grace and favour. I thank YOU for Jesus, my Lord, my Saviour, my Redeemer. Fill me anew with YOUR Holy Spirit. I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truly GOD blessed today!
