The word of faith is the communication that you are made righteous by faith in what JESUS has done, not by confidence in what YOU have done. Putting confidence in the flesh for right-standing leads to a tired and unfulfilled life. Putting confidence in the Spirit brings life and peace!

The New Covenant we have with God is so much better than anything we could imagine. In fact, It is unheard of! It’s so much better than you think. It’s so much higher than you dreamed. Let go of the self-effort bondage Moses gave and dive head-first into the liberty that Jesus brought – perfect righteousness by faith alone!

Believer, you are pleasing to God. Doubting this in any way can only be attributed to the tragic misrepresentation of the true Gospel. By placing your trust in Jesus to make you perfectly righteous and absolutely holy you have met God’s exacting requirements for perfection! Now you can finally cease from the vain pursuit of righteousness by the flesh, and instead enjoy the reward of righteousness by faith!

When you are convinced that you abide in Christ forever, no fear can creep in and make you feel distant ever again. The Cross should be the ultimate assurance to the believer that nothing can ever undo what God has done in Christ, reconciling you to Himself!

In Romans 7, Paul uses the Jewish marriage laws to explain a crucial point regarding salvation - You cannot be married to Moses and Jesus at the same time. The death of Christ represents your death from your first spouse (Moses), releasing you into a new covenant with your new spouse, Jesus!

At the Cross God declares, “Out with the Old, In with the New.” The old method of righteousness has expired – a method of man’s efforts, marred by failure after failure, resulting in death. The new method of righteousness has arrived – one of perfect brilliance, pristine and faultless, achieved by Jesus and received by you!

When you were born again God made you a new container for His glory, His essence, His presence. The old container of the Flesh is incompatible with heaven’s perfection, so God changed your nature. The new creation is now perfectly compatible with God’s own nature so that your spirit is the exact image of the Father!

Jesus changed humanity’s method of righteousness. Before the Cross you were righteous by works of the flesh, which no one could ever maintain. No one. After the Cross this method became obsolete, having been upgraded to the method of faith. Stop going back to your old flame of Moses when Jesus is all you need for right standing with God!

When you were born again you received a heart-transplant. God removed your heart of stone and replaced it with his very own. Is this real to you yet? Because of the Cross, your heart is perfect and blameless, without one single blemish! Aligning your belief to the pure Gospel will always lead to a natural expression of thanksgiving.

In Matthew 6 Jesus continues to emphasize to the Jewish crowd that merely DOING the law of Moses isn’t enough. You must also WANT TO do it from you heart. In The Lord’s Prayer Jesus points out the “things” that are lacking in the Old Covenant, but that are fully supplied in the New. Instead of a life of empty prayers, the Church should be declaring that the promise of life has been fulfilled!
