[The Glory Unveiled]
“Yet through his powerful declaration of acquittal, God freely gives away his righteousness. His gift of love and favor now cascades over us, all because Jesus, the Anointed One, has liberated us from the guilt, punishment, and power of sin!” [ Romans 3:24 TPT ]
The gift of God is free and accessible to everyone. But only its recipients are changed by it. The love gift of God has freed many people from guilt and the rule of sin. It has broken the fear of a future punishment. And kindled hope in the hearts of many. God’s powerful declaration of acquittal is only for those who believe in the Son of God who died for them. This is the reason why you cannot have Christianity without the Lord Jesus Christ. Anything that profess to be of Christ but does not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ is a concealed poison. The central truth that gives us hope is that Jesus died and resurrected for our justification. Without the death and resurrection of Jesus, there is no hope for humanity. This is why the devil can allow anybody to do whatever religious and nobel thing they want to do as far as it does not include believing in Jesus as being the gift of God for humanity; that He died and resurrected for our justification. This is why there are religions in the world that believe in the Old Testament, and some even believe in Jesus as a prophet but not as the Messiah—the promised Saviour of the world. These religions go about helping the poor and the needy. Doing every good thing you can imagine except the only good thing they could do for their soul’s salvation. They may think God cannot condemn them after all the good things they have done. But the truth is that, when it comes to the justice of God, “good” cannot interfere with God’s faithfulness. Jesus has liberated us but will you continue to stay in bondage? Sin is a dethroned monarch because of Jesus but if you allow it, it can still rule over you and control how you live your life by compelling you to obey its cravings and desires. Embrace this knowledge and live in its reality and sin’s lure over you will break, allowing the life of Jesus to shine on you.
