Jesus' Responsibilities For Us

So many times people want to talk about what we have to do for Jesus, but today let’s talk about what Jesus has to do for us.

He Has To Cause Us to Be Totally Saved: Therefore He is able also to save to the uttermost (completely, perfectly, finally, and for all time and eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He is always living to make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them. Hebrews 7:25

He Must Make Us Completely Free From Sin: Well then, as one man’s trespass [one man’s false step and falling away led] to condemnation for all men, so one Man’s act of righteousness [leads] to acquittal and right standing with God and life for all men. Romans 5:18

He Must Cause Us To Have Abundance: The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). John 10:10

He Must Make Us Healthy: He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24

He Must Sanctify Us: For both He Who sanctifies [making men holy] and those who are sanctified all have one [Father]. For this reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren; Hebrews 2:11

He Must Cause Us To Have Faith: Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2

He Must Make Us Produce Fruit: I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. John 15:5

He Has To Cause Us To Love:  I have made Your Name known to them and revealed Your character and Your very Self, and I will continue to make [You] known, that the love which You have bestowed upon Me may be in them [felt in their hearts] and that I [Myself] may be in them. John 17:26

He Must Make Us Have Peace: Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.] John 14:27

He Must Cause Us To Have Joy: And now I am coming to You; I say these things while I am still in the world, so that My joy may be made full and complete and perfect in them [that they may experience My delight fulfilled in them, that My enjoyment may be perfected in their own souls, that they may have My gladness within them, filling their hearts]. John 17:13

Jesus plainly tells us that He is responsible for these things in our lives. We should absolutely expect that all of these Truth's are accomplished daily for us by Him. Because the Truth is that Jesus never leaves us and He never forsakes us and today is the day of our salvation and now is our accepted time, 2 Corinthians 6:2. Jesus tells us that He will never turn away anyone that comes to Him, John 6:37. So don’t hesitate, not for one second, to go to Him daily, if not multiple times a day, and remind Him of what He should be doing in our lives, just as He taught us to do in Luke 11:6-8 and Luke 18:1-5.
