Through Christ We Are Redeemed From Sin

"In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; wherein He hath abounded towards us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself: That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him:" Ephesians 1:7-10

Jesus has redeemed us from all sin and from all of its power by His Blood. “But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7 Jesus has rescued us from all sin; past, present, and future, all is all, and Jesus’ Blood is that powerful! Jesus has freed us, all of us, both in Heaven and on earth, from sin and from all of its consequences. The power to set man free, from the only thing that could ever separate him from God, was delivered at the Cross, and it is eternally powerful for all who accept it. The Blood of Christ will never leave us or forsake us, the Blood of Christ has made us more than conquerors over sin, and the Blood of Christ has allowed us to live under righteousness and under all the fullness and abundance that righteousness brings! The Blood has destroyed our body of sin and we have been renewed in the very image of God Who created us! The Blood of Jesus destroyed the curse of the law and all of the ordinances and powers that thrived under it. Jesus made a shew of them openly at the Cross, triumphing over them, and He did it all according to the riches of God’s grace. God’s grace prevailed through the Blood that was shed at the Cross so that we might be born again, recreated in true righteousness and holiness after the image of God Himself! That is the abundant level of God’s grace; nothing would stop Him from having unity with us, nothing, even if it meant suffering the death of the Cross. God was willing to do whatever it took, so that we could be free from all sin, so that we might have eternal fellowship with Him! There is nothing more important in God’s eyes than us, and in His sight we are righteous and holy, and we are free from all sin! That is the power of the Blood of our Lord and Savior and we have it working fully for us, as it ever lives to intercede for us, so that we may be saved to the uttermost!

Jesus not only saved us from all sin, but He has also has given us all wisdom and all prudence. Jesus has abundantly given us all wisdom and all prudence, so that we might have life abundantly, so that we might live abundantly, and through His power that is at work within us He is able to use us to allow others to do the same! God has held nothing back from us. Think about all wisdom; God wants us to know who we are, how we are, Who He is, How He is, and who and how we are together with Him! His ways are higher than our ways, God knows that, so He has abounded towards us all wisdom, so that we might have wisdom in His ways, all of His ways. There used to be mysteries between God and man, but now through Christ, there are none!

“Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you.” John 15:15 “Having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself:” Ephesians 1:9 God has given us His Holy Spirit to teach us all things, He has given us Himself to abundantly supply us with all wisdom into all of His mysteries! He has given us His very own Spirit so that we may fully and abundantly know His will. Through Jesus we can now actually know what God is thinking. We don’t need a prophet to tell us about God, we all can be prophets, it is our Fathers desire and will that we all know Him and that we are all filled with all of His wisdom. All, whosoever, abundantly, perfect, glorious, and holy, these are the Words of God, and they have been shed abundantly within our hearts by the power of the Holy Ghost, and now our mouths speak them. God created us to have fellowship with Him, and we actually can, we now commune and fellowship with God Himself. Our fellowship with God goes so much deeper than just between friends or between family members, and it is even deeper and more intimate than a husband and a wife. We are now one with God, He is in us, and we are His body through Christ! When the mind thinks something the whole body reacts in that thought, that’s how our fellowship is with God! There is now unbroken fellowship between God and us and through Jesus that relationship is eternal and unbroken!

God has placed Himself within us so that we may be abound in all prudence. Not only are we saved from sin; we now are empowered by God Himself to accomplish and perform the very works of righteousness! And through the power of the Holy Spirit within us we can have peace and joy in believing this! “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” Romans 15:13 Look at how God uses all: all wisdom, all prudence, all joy, and all peace, all of these so that we may abound in our lives through Him. God uses the same words towards us, that we use towards Him. We say that God is all knowing, and He says the same towards us! We say that He is the God of Hope, and He goes on and says that we are filled with all hope. We proudly proclaim that God is all powerful, and He says we will do the works that He has done and even greater ones! We say that nothing can stand against Him, and God says that we are more than conquerors through Him! It is so awesome that God talks about us, as we talk about Him! Now here is a great Truth, He knows far better who we are, than we know Who He is! And here is even a greater Truth, He will teach us everything He knows! Through God, we can actually fully understand that as He is, so are we in this world!
