Hallelujah, we are reconciled through Christ’s redeeming blood when we repent and turn away from our sin! We see things differently because we are transformed into the likeness of Christ. Thank You, Jesus, we have been reconciled through Your sacrifice on the cross. Now that we are reconciled, Christ presents us before His Father as holy, blameless, and without blemish.  We are now free to enter into the glorious state of holiness, harmony, and joy through Christ’s redeeming blood.

Satan has a suffocating grip on the world that is destroying our moral, political, and cultural values at a rapid pace. The only way to break free of this grip is to turn to the Lord. As we surrender our lives unto the Lord, He will send His Spirit to guide us into truth. Even though all flesh is as grass and it will wither and fade away, but the Word of the Lord endures forever. So, when we study the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit will give us a proper understanding of God’s Word. As we eat and obey this Word, and then grow in our faith, the Spirit of God prepares us to live “Forever!”

Jesus’ touch liberates the “untouchable”. One-touch by Jesus transforms the untouchable. We are changed! Our eyes and hearts are opened by Jesus’ divine touch.  As we submit to His divine power, we become untouchable by sin. The shame, suffering, cruelty, the glory, the life, the death, the justice, and mercy all met at the cross through Christ’s redeeming love. Jesus’ resurrection power and His blood purify and render us, as children of God, untouchable by anything that is impure and unrighteous!

As we grow in our love, faith, and obedience, we trust the Lord with all of our heart, and we don’t depend on our understanding or power. God knows that we are trustworthy therefore He entrusts His treasures to us so that we may advance His cause and glorify His name.  Our love for God constrains us so that we won’t use the entrusted treasures to exalt and glorify ourselves or to gain power and oppress the poor.  God knows we will give Him first of everything!  After all, “It’s All His!”

Death entered the human race because of sin. We know that our earthly bodies will die, but if we die in Christ, then we have the assurance that we have a divinely hand-crafted body waiting for us that is not shaped in a womb, but an immortal body crafted by the hand of God. Praise God, our resurrected bodies will resemble that of our resurrected Savior, Jesus Christ.  Paul makes it clear in 2 Corinthians 5:1 that through God’s divine craftsmanship, in our resurrected bodies, we will live eternally in our heavenly homes.

Now that our minds are sanctified by the Holy Spirit, we are transformed into Christ’s likeness. Our souls are sanctified to do the Will of God and our bodies become fit instruments sanctified to serve God. We are “Preserved”!

Genuine love is a strong motivator in making sacrifices without regrets, complaints, or grudges.  It is a delight to sacrifice for the good of someone we genuinely love. There is great joy when we are allowed to make someone happy even if that requires sacrifices. Jesus is our role model because He made “The excellent sacrifice” for humanity. He gave His life so that we might be saved if we accept His gift of salvation.  There is nothing more amazing than giving up sin and all its evils to gain "The excellent sacrifice".  It is impossible to receive this excellent sacrifice without faith in Jesus Christ!

We can ask with confidence because we trust God to do what He knows is best. We can ask anything with confidence knowing that God not only hears, but He will grant our petitions according to His will. Our heavenly Father hears whatever we ask Him, then He uses His divine wisdom, grace, power, and love to provide what we need when we need it. 

As we turn to the Lord, His Spirit is released in our lives setting us free, making us new creatures in Christ Jesus. We are now reflecting the image of God as new creatures in Christ. Through the indwelling of the Spirit of the Lord, He is purifying our hearts and setting us free from all shackles.  The shackles are gone, and now we are free to enjoy every good and perfect gift from God in His fullness of joy! 

Psalm 147:3 gives us a wonderful promise even if most of us have had our hearts broken!  To be hurt by a loved one or hurt by someone you trusted and depended on is not a happy experience.  A broken heart can leave emotional scars.  We can let our broken hearts control us and sideline our future, or we can accept God’s love and rescue plan. Because of God’s love and Christ’s sacrifice, Jesus said, “He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted” (Luke 4:18). By doing this, Jesus fulfills the wonderful promise of Psalm 147:3.  He Heals the Broken Hearts!
