Yet To Be
there is one mediator between God and men..
The blood of Jesus makes atonement for sin (to make things right before God)
Without shedding blood, there could be no reconciliation with God.
Being washed in the precious blood of Jesus, we can approach the throne of grace in boldness because Jesus’ blood covers us.
God is holy, and in His presence we are seen in Christ Jesus.
God sees this coverage and passes over in judgment. There is no other access to God except through His only begotten son, Jesus Christ. It is a privilege that allows us to come into His holy presence through the largeness of His grace.
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2 verse 5
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2 verse 13.
Therefore will not we fear…
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carries into the midst of the sea. Psalm 46 verse 2
We are not alone in our circumstances.
And although some problems are insurmountable, God is there.
There is nothing too hard for Him, nothing impossible for our God.
He created the world by calling the things that were not into being.
This same mighty God hears every cry, every wayward thought, and still knows our needs.
He is not slack, nor is His arm too short that He could not save.
Behold the Lamb of God.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Revelation 5 verse 12
God is not a man that he could lie.
God’s promises are forever.
His yes is yes, and his no is no.
He will never turn back on His word because He cannot tell a lie.
There is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents
In the weakest of moments I look away, down instead of up, and see nothing.
If there is a tiny speck of light, I don’t see it because I look at my circumstances and their harsh limitations.
How cruel to be born, grow, gain, lose, and then die, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
How evil it is to despair. So easy it is to sink into the dark corners of the mind, to give into a depression where the soul is robbed of faith, and the heart becomes too afraid to believe.
It is a vengeful spirit that must not exist.
It is a evil that must never win.
The battle belongs to God.
He fights for us and will never fail.
Within the presence of God, there is peace, rest, joy, and love:
A love which dispels all fears. A love which brightens even the darkest nights with strength and with hope.
There is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents. Luke 15 verse 7
He is the light that turns the wrong to right.
There is a light that shines in the dark caverns of the mind.
Though small, even distant it is there; look for it.
Look up, and you will see it.
Jesus is that light.
If you seek him, you will find him.
He will become your strength, shield, and reward.
“He is the light that shines in the darkest night;
The Light that turns the wrong to right.”
He is that light.
Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.” John 8 verse 12
He is worthy to be praised.
God loved me.
He gave the One who was most precious to Him, His only son.
And the Son came willingly to do His Father’s will by taking my place in judgment in exchange for my freedom.
Who am I that God, the Creator, the Most Holy God, should think about me?
I can’t say what He saw in me that his only son should die for me.
I bow my head and my heart before my God.
I praise the Father and the Son.
I fall on my knees in joyful Hallelujah.
He saw me.
He sees me.
He knows me.
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised. Psalm 113 verse 3
I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name forever and ever. Psalm 145 verse 1.
Jesus the Lord my righteousness.
I sit in a room with dark windows while the world outside sinks into chaos. Drought, famine, poverty, and greed threaten to rise like strong men preparing for battle. To fight a war that is to come; a war to end all wars the like we have never seen; violence to wipe out the children of men. This battle of life is old. There is only one captain, Savior, Redeemer, one Champion who lives to fight.
He is Jesus the Lord, my righteousness, my Saviour, my friend.
Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. Psalm 27:3
My belief stands firm because he is my hope.
I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
I am not shaken.
When the darkness of my thoughts threatens to consume me, he is always there to lead me to the light.
My belief stands firm because He is my hope, my shield, and my reward.
I fear not because I am always in his remembrance.
