Yesterday we talked about the first five words of The Gospel in Ten Words, which was Christ Died For Your Sins. Today we will just ouch on the next 5 words: He Rose From The Dead. The resurrection of Christ from the dead is the high water mark of our Faith. Without the resurrection we are lost, but in it we are found.

Christ died for your sins, He rose from the dead. That’s The Gospel (The Good News) in Ten Words. Today we will study the first 5 words: Christ died for your sins. Tomorrow we will study the last 5 words, He rose from the dead.

Jesus says in John 14:13-14 that we can go to The Father’s throne room and ask ANYTHING in His name (Jesus) and HE (Jesus) will do it. So in essence, when we pray and ask God for help, and to meet our greatest needs, He is faithful to answer.

You cannot separate God’s Words from His Works. So why try? Just be a hearer AND a doer of His Word and you will find yourself doing His Works! Easy peasy.

I love Jesus’s short and sweet teaching on Prayer found in Luke 18:1. If an unjust judge will give a persistent widow what she wants, how much more will God, the most Just Judge ever give His children what they need? Have faith that God actually wants to reward your prayers by meeting your needs.

Jesus says that when we spend time alone with God in private, The Father sees us and will reward us openly (see Matthew 6:6). God also saw David when he was on the backside of the wilderness alone with God, and He loved what He saw in David. God does see what we do in secret and He does reward us for seeking Him in private. Hebrews 11:6.

1John 2:12 says: I write unto you little children because YOUR SINS Are forgiven FOR HIS NAME’S sake. I’m the precious name of Jesus we are so forgiven and free. In the name of Jesus we walk and talk and seal our prayers. What a precious name to have on your lips all day long and forever!

We are seeing so much evil and deception today that it becomes very hard to know who we can trust. God’s simple (and Biblical) answer is this: Trust In God and not man. When we put God first in our lives and vow to love and serve His family first and then those whom He wants to adopt, then we can see the resurrection power of Jesus working

The Lord Jesus still longs to heal all who come to Him in faith. He also commends the faith of any friends who bring others to Jesus. The faith of friends can cause God’s healing to be released today, regardless of how bad someone’s condition may be. We don’t have to lower a friend through a roof but we can lift up a friend to Jesus. James 5:15

Jesus, who knew no sin, who had no sin nature died for OUR sins, and not only OUR sins but the sin of the entire world. 1John 2:2. His work is done and He is now seated at the right hand of The Father and makes intercession (prayers) for us. Heb 7:25
