GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST, GOD REVEALS A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST.
TODAY IS GOOD FRIDAY, CHRIST PAID THE PRICE TO REDEEM MY LIFE WITH HIS LIFE. CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS FOR MY SINS TO RESTORE ME TO GOD!
IN THE PAST GOD SPOKE TO OUR FOREFATHERS THROUGH THE PROPHETS AT MANY TIMES AND IN VARIOUS WAYS, BUT IN THESE LAST DAYS GOD HAS SPOKEN TO US BY HIS SON, WHOM GOD APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS, AND THROUGH WHOM GOD MADE THE UNIVERSE. THE SON IS THE RADIANCE OF GOD'S GLORY AND THE EXACT REPRESENTATION OF GOD'S BEING, SUSTAINING ALL THINGS BY GOD'S POWERFUL WORD. AFTER CHRIST HAD PROVIDED PURIFICATION FOR SINS, CHRIST SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE MAJESTY IN HEAVEN - GOD.(Heb.1:1-3)
THEREFORE, SINCE WE HAVE A GREAT HIGH PRIEST WHO HAS GONE INTO HEAVEN, JESUS THE SON OF GOD, LET US HOLD FIRMLY TO THE FAITH WE PROFESS. FOR WE DO NOT HAVE A HIGH PRIEST WHO IS UNABLE TO SYMPATHIZE WITH OUR WEEKNESS, BUT WE HAVE ONE WHO HAS BEEN TEMPTED IN EVERY WAY, JUST AS WE ARE - YET WAS WITHOUT SIN. LET US THEN APPROACH THE THRONE OF GRACE WITH CONFIDENCE, SO THAT WE MAY RECEIVE MERCY AND FIND GRACE TO HELP US IN OUR TIME OF NEED.(Heb.4:14-16)
IF WE DELIBERATELY KEEP ON SINNING AFTER WE HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, NO SACRIFICE FO SINS IS LEFT, BUT ONLY A FEARFUL EXPECTATION OF JUDGMENT AND OF RAGING FIRE THAT WILL CONSUME THE ENEMIES OF GOD. ANYONE WHO REJECTED THE LAW OF MOSES DIED WITHOUT MERCY ON THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES. HOW MUCH MORE SEVERELY DO YOU THINK A MAN DESERVES TO BE PUNISHED WHO HAS TRAMPLED THE SON OF GOD UNDER FOOT, WHO HAS TREATED AS AN UNHOLY THING THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT THAT SANCTIFIED HIM, AND WHO HAS INSULTED THE SPIRIT OF GRACE? FOR WE KNOW GOD WHO SAID,"IT IS MINE TO AVENGE; I WILL REPAY," AND AGAIN, "THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE." IT IS A DREADFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD.(Heb.10:26-31)
