ACTUALISING OUR REDEMPTION IN THE GRACE: IT’S OUR NEW DAWN FROM DEAD WORKS – TO DO LIFE AND LIVE GODLY – IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS!
“And YOU He made ALIVE, who were DEAD in TRESPASSES and SINS, 2 in which you once WALKED according to the COURSE OF THIS WORLD, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by NATURE children of wrath, just as the others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His GREAT LOVE with which He LOVED us, 5 even when we were DEAD IN TRESPASSES, made us ALIVE together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and RAISED us up together, and MADE us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His WORKMANSHIP, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God PREPARED beforehand that we should walk in them” Ephesians 2:1-10.
Now that our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus is RISEN, ALIVE and ENTHRONED for evermore – it’s our time to RESURRECT from DEAD WORKS – to DO LIFE and LIVE GODLY in Him; For He’s our REDEMPTION in the grace. He’s our PASSOVER indeed and has passed us from death unto life in every ramifications by being the PASSOVER lamb as written:
“Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our PASSOVER, was sacrificed for us. 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the UNLEAVENED bread of sincerity and truth” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8 [Exodus 12:1-14; Luke 22:1-20].
Now know therefore, it’s NOT just about celebrating and communicating OUR PASSOVER in the grace but it’s about our PASSOVER in Christ Jesus stead, in order to ensure our assured redemption in all the rights and privileges of these contexts and not limited. We are now to PASSOVER:
- From Sin To Righteousness
- From Eternal Death To Eternal Life
- From Sickness And Disease To Healing And Health
- From Bondage And Captivity To Deliverance And Freedom
- From Falsehood And Mere Facts To The Truth And Truth Only
- From Hopelessness To Hope
- From Unforgiving To Forgiveness And Forgetfulness
- From Evil, Hatred, Cruelty And Wickedness To Goodness, Love And Mercy And Leniency.
- From Poverty To Eternal Riches
- From Curse To Blessing
- From Injustice to justice, equity, mercy, faith, rights and privileges.
- From not having known God to having to know God In this World and His Christ and the precious Holy Spirit.
- And from many such like the more . . . to fulfilling purposes in the grace. Amen.
