Part 4 Who is He really?

In the last few posts I shared with who Jesus really is? I would like to conclude with the last to points.

Why did He do it? Why did Jesus Die for us?

He died for us because the Father loves us and there was not other way to be right before God except that an acceptable sacrifice be made for our sins and that sacrifice be made for our sins and that sacrifice was Jesus. (Romans 5:17)”For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ”.

One day we will all stand before God. Each of us will give an account for our works, for our words, for every part of our lives. Those who have been redeemed, who have been reconciled through Jesus will have nothing to explain, all of their shortcomings will be covered by the blood of Jesus

So that He may present us:

– Blameless – without accusation. The devil is the accuser of the brethren. He wants to point out all of our sins, he wants to keep us in bondage to sin. Jesus paid the penalty for our sins, so that when we stand before God no one will be able to point the finger at us,  we will be without blame.

– Holy – set apart from sin, set apart unto God.

– Beyond reproach – irreproachable – Legal term, one not open to accusation, one free of guilt. You see, what Jesus did was all we need. He paid it all. When He said, “It is finished,” it was finished. The deed was done, the sacrifice made, the price for our souls was paid. We don’t need some special revelation, some secret knowledge, something extra on top of what He did. He did it because, as Ephesians 1:9 says, it was the Father’s good pleasure. God wanted to reconcile us to Himself.

What evidence is there that He accomplished His purpose in dying for us?

Those who have a life change, a person experience and relationship with Jesus Christ will persevere in faith and obedience, because it is consistent with their new nature. They will continue in the faith because they have a new disposition, a new mindset, new outlook on life that gives them the desire to do what that which pleases God.

Perseverance: Faith – The body of truth,and the trust they have placed in Jesus.

Hope of the Gospel – Their hope was based on the gospel, that Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a vicarious death and rose in a glorious resurrection. It could not be based on external knowledge, on the secret knowledge of man, but non the completed work of Jesus Christ. The devil wants to take our hope out of the gospel He wants us to place our hope in things which let us down, so that he can disillusion us and cause us to lose hope. But if our hope is place on Jesus, we will never  fail.

I would like to invite you if you have not already accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior to pray this prayer:

I want to personally invite you to call upon God, by faith, to save you. Ask Him to save you and believe that He will do it. Do not hesitate.The Scripture urges us, “Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near.” (Isaiah 55:6)

Dear Lord, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died for my sins on the cross and rose again the third day. I repent of my sins. By faith, I receive the Lord Jesus as my Savior. You promised to save me, and I believe You because You are God and cannot lie. I believe right now that the Lord Jesus is my personal Savior, and that all my sins are forgiven through His precious blood. I thank You, dear Lord, for saving me. In Jesus’ Name Amen.

Please let me know if you prayed this prayer.
