Contract of Forgiveness
The covenant
of forgiveness is only through the blood of Jesus Christ shed for you. When you
receive Jesus as your Savior, you are forgiven of all your sins as though they
never existed.
The
Holy Spirit is God’s personal signature of assurance upon that blood contract
or the covenant of forgiveness. His signature declares you are accepted of him
and now part of his family.
God’s
covenant with Abraham’s is also an inheritance covenant; “I am the Almighty
God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. –[Genesis 17:1] “And I will give
unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all
the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”
[Genesis 17:8] Being
perfect is what Jesus did in your behalf when he laid his life down for you on
Calvary.
The sign of
circumcision was a fleshly token that declared like a signature on a contract
that was struck and agreed to. The sign of circumcision was also a foreshadow of
the heavenly covenant or contract to follow, yet I might add though that the
contract of inheritance for Israel is very much as binding today as it was the
day God entered into it with Abraham. The Holy Land belongs to them. God gave it
to Abraham and his seed from generation to generation. When God makes a covenant
with someone, God is going to watch over it and bring to pass that which he
promised. When Jesus rules as king of the earth, believers, Gentile and Hebrew
alike will have an inheritance in Canaan’s land.
The sign of
circumcision was performed on the eighth day, which represents the beginning of
a new day, a new creation, all things become new.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things
are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God,
who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the
ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the
world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed
unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as
though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye
reconciled to God. For
he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him.”
God swapped
places with you. He traded his righteousness for your sin. Paul says be
reconciled to God. You become reconciled the moment you receive Jesus as your
Savior. Jesus will sign on the dotted line with his Holy Ghost confirming your
reconciliation. The contract was written in the Blood of the Lamb. Amen.
Some people
think that they have the ministry of condemnation. These people are modern day
Pharisees wrapped in Christian garb. Jesus ate and drank with the sinner while
the Pharisees glared, stewing in their broth of sanctimonious
self-righteousness. It is the same today. Jesus sets the captive free and we
want to tie them up in religion with its heavy weight, “works” and doctrines
of man. Remember this, the Pharisees were “conservatives” also.
Jesus
doesn’t look at your faults to condemnation instead he covers them. For the
person who doesn’t know Jesus, the Lord’s arms are stretched out wishing to
cover their faults and wipe them away eternally. For the born again believer, it
is the seed planted in your spirit by the Holy Ghost that brings forth the fruit of
his nature, it is not accomplished by your own strength and ability, for if it
was then Jesus didn’t have to lay his life for you. Paul says it this way,
“I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I
now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and
gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness
come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. –[Galatians 2:20-21]
The more you
praise Jesus for what he has done the more you will become like him. It is a
ministry of reconciliation and a work of the Spirit of God, not a work of
man’s flesh.
When you
understand the gospel, it is really quite simple. Lets stop complicating its
message and lift up the Lamb of God instead.
Can
anyone say Amen?
I’m believing for all those who wish to know Jesus, that today they will experience the new birth and infilling of the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus I pray.
Jesus is soon
to return.
