The Benefits of the Cross of Christ

www.abundantgracemi.org


The Psalmist enumerated why a child of God should bless the name of God and praise Him with all that is within him. Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.  Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits —  who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.  Psalm 103: 1 -5
The Bible reveals that all men were sold into the hand of the devil. He consequently turned the blessings of God against the man created to replenish the earth.
The devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me." Luke 4: 9
However, on the cross of Calvary, Jesus humiliated the devil and his cohorts when he broke the chain of the prisons to set us free. He shouted IT IS FINISHED! On the third day He rose from the grave to declare
   , "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."  Matthew 28: 18 -20
If there is any reason why we need to celebrate, it is the fact that we are under new regime who has all authority, power, command and willingness to save, secure and sustain us through all ages.
There is nothing you can give that is too much. You need to offer Him your best beginning with your life and all within your reach.
As you do so, more no other covenant can hold your destiny to ransom. You are on your way to the top in Jesus name.
