Safe and Secure in the Arms of Jesus Part 2
1 John 5:11-13 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does
not have the Son of God does not have life. I write
these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may
know that you have eternal life.
THE
BLOOD OF JESUS!
That
precious blood Jesus shed on the Cross! There on the Cross on the Hill of
Calvary, the Lord Jesus took all our sins away! HE PAID FOR ALL OUR SINS! Can't
you see it! Every sin that Jesus paid
for us on the Cross of Calvary, He paid for us in the FUTURE!
The
beautiful truth is that the Blood of Jesus cleanses us from all our sins, past,
present, and future. When we truly are saved, there will be clear evidence of a
changed life because Christ Jesus will be the center and foundation of our new
life. We will never lose the human fleshly desires that have plagued us from
the cradle. However, when we surrender to one of these fleshly desires, we will
grieve the Holy Spirit within our hearts and souls. There will be an uneasy
grip on our spirits and souls that will linger until we get things right
between our Lord and Savior and ourselves.
John
3:1-3 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was
a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said,
"Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one
could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him." Jesus
replied, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless
they are born again.
When I
first got saved, one of my sisters told me one day that there seems to be
something different about you, are you going to die? I told her no, I have
already done that and have been reborn.
John
1:12
we also read, "Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in
his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
Picture
a lamp in your home, disconnect the plug from the electricity line. As long as
that lamp is disconnected, it is useful only as a decorative piece! BUT it was
not made just for that reason - it was made for reading and walking in the
darkness! Now connect it again, and your lamp will come alive! Well, Jesus is
in comparison to that line of electricity. As long as you were a lost sinner,
you were separated and disconnected from God! Then you received Jesus as your
SAVIOR! Jesus then made you alive - spiritually speaking! The meaning and significance
of God becoming our father in heaven is that we become his sons and daughters!
The
word relationship - your relationship to God, is God is your FATHER, and you
are HIS SON or DAUGHTER! That happens the heartbeat you receive Christ Jesus!
Now, that relationship never changes! We can never be born again again! And
again, and again! It is not possible to be born again again and again! It is as
unbelievable as it would be for us to enter our mother's womb and be born a
second time physically!
Remember
God has no grandchildren; all of us must establish a relationship with God,
through Christ Jesus on our own,
There
is an old Hymn entitled "-"You Must Be Born Again." The song
goes like this... "You must be born again; You must be born again; Oh,
verily, verily, I say unto you, You must be born again!"
Now,
if we could lose our salvation, we would have to sing the song like this...
"You
must be born again again, and again, You must be born again again, and
again, verily, I say unto you, you must
be born again again, and again.
Then
we would have beautiful testimonies about the first time we were saved, along
with the second time we were saved, the third, the fourth, the fifth time, and
on and on.
In our
relationship with God, through our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus, once we
receive Him, we become a child of God, that relationship is established once
and for all.
