The Infinite Product of Christ’s Death and Resurrection X
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defence to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed”.
1 Peter 3:15-16
Beloved,
Last time, we rounded off with a critical truth: the gift of eternal life through Christ Jesus is the most invaluable gift a man can ever have. Another important truth to consider is that Jesus Christ, Himself, is the greatest gift that God could have ever given us. When He gave us the gift of His Son, He literally gave us EVERYTHING; specifically everything that pertains to life and godliness (1 Peter 1:2-3). Praise Him forever more!
Now, in as much as Jesus is the greatest gift- there is something more important. Your full understanding, acceptance, and application of the infinite gift that is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Beloved, this entire series is written to emphasize to you the need to develop in your spirit man, a core intelligence about eternal salvation. I will say it again in case I’ve not buttressed this truth enough: salvation in Christ Jesus is the most valuable gift a man can ever enjoy and IF a man is wise enough to take full advantage of such a wonderful gift, it’s benefits are endless and they last forever.
This gift of salvation is not only the greatest of gifts, it is also the easiest to obtain and maintain. This is because it is free AND comes with a life time Warranty; the Holy Spirit, who you must know very well. The Holy Spirit is made available to keep you and guide you in every circumstance. The best customer service on earth can never bless you as wonderfully as the Holy Spirit is able to- that is, IF you allow Him.
The gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus is free. You only need to ask Him to come into your life and accept Him as your personal Savior and Lord, after which, you act accordingly. That’s all!
Jesus can turn the life of a man around, He has done it before, and He will do it again. In our next episode I will tell you a story or two. Until then,
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you blessed. I call you NATIONS.
