Acts 5 v 42
And every day, in the Temple
The message the apostles preached is the
same message that we preach today, Christ is the promised King, He is the
promised saviour of all mankind poured out upon the cross.
Apparently the literal translation of the Hebrew
word for ‘messiah’ is anointed which refers to something or someone being
consecrated by having holy oil put on them.
Christ is holy oil poured out into us. By
his death and our union with him we have been made righteous and holy.
Sanctification is not a process it is free gift, freely given when I am made a
new creation in Christ. By his sinless death , ‘as me’, I receive his holiness
and he became my sin.
My old sinful nature was crucified with
Christ, died and was buried. In the new birth I have a spotless spirit and
soul, all that remains from the old man is the thought patterns and influences
that have affected my mind. As I rest In Christ and let my new life reign my
old thinking is transformed into the truth of all I am now In Christ.
This is the amazing good news of the
Gospel that Christ died for me, Christ died as me and now Christ lives in me.
The world with its deceit lies and
propaganda tries to distract me away into negative thinking, worry and
strife. Often I believe what I am told
by the News Channel over the promises God has given me. It is sometimes hard
when I am bombarded with worldly wisdom and unbelief.
But, God is faithful and true and he is my
father who sings over me with joy.
Let his spirit fill us, his truth control
us and his power permeate every part of our beings, with a torrent of undeserved grace and love.
