A COMPLETE PACKAGE IN OUR REDEMPTION
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Romans 8:3 "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:"
1John 3:5' And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.'
Religion has no cure for sin . It places emphasis on acts of repentance , John the Baptist preached the message of repentance .The Bible says Luke 3:3" And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;,'
If you had to travel to a particular mountain to pray before you can be forgiven your sins and be blessed , what will become of you if you were incapacitated by sickness or injury or you simply could not afford to like the cripple fellow who had no one to help him get into the healing waters in John 5:1-9 .The demands of religion made it impossible for him to receive the blessing of being healed until Jesus came on the scene.
John 5:8 "Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath." Jesus simply told him to break the law of the Sabbath ( it came with a death penalty Exodus 31:15 ) to be healed . God is more interested in blessing his people and not the promotion of any religion (see John 4:6-24) God is spirit and wants to be worshipped in spirit and truth not through religious rituals .
The man was healed that moment to the glory of God. Healing is part of the package in our salvation through the redemption . Under the new dispensation salvation is complete . We are sanctified : made holy without the observance of the 613 laws of Moses just like the man who received healing without observing the law of the Sabbath. The bible says in Ephesians 1:4 "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:" You are holy and without blame before God because of the sanctifying power of the blood of Jesus Christ .
You are justified (Greek:dikaioō to render innocent before God) . The thief that was crucified along with Jesus Christ was told in Luke 23:43 "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise." This man received the full package of redemption without fulfilment of any religious rituals . He was given an express ticket to heaven through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:30" Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." All have sinned and fallen short of God's glory but in Jesus Christ all glory is restored . Glory (Greek doxazō : it means to cause the dignity and worth of some person or thing to become manifest and acknowledged) . Glory also means to be excellent and worth celebrating and empowered to work miracles : that is our position before God. Hallelujah. The bible says in 1 Corinthians1:30" But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:'
Prayer : Heavenly father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as Lord and saviour and receive healing in Jesus name.
