3rd Cross Ministry

Jesus Christ is everything. Our prayer is that people would rid themselves of their sins and hold strong to Christ. When man fell God would of been just to obliterate us all but He didn't. The Bible says that God is love and though He is Holy, Holy, Holy, God loves us and commands us to submit the the reality that He is everything. In the beginning when man fell God allowed sacrifices and burnt offerings for the atonement of sins because sin is so hanus before God that it cannot be in His presence or allowed. But God allowed this shed of blood for the atonement of sins yet most of Israel was lost in their sins still and relied on those sacrifices to save them yet continue in their sin. But God requires a broken heart and broken spirit (Psalm 51:16-17). However, the Bible says in Matthew 7:13-14 and Matthew 7:21-23 that many people will go to hell and God will joyfully and without pity obliterate those who die in their sins and all of creation will applaud God for doing so. But those who seek God in faith in those times and these times and turn from their sins and submit to the reality that He is everything and He saves would be saved. But blood needed to be shed during those times. But then God, because He is glorious and rules over everything sent out His Son, Jesus Christ who is God in the flesh to come to this world and live the righteous and Holy life no one could live and obtained God's righteousness and was falsely condemned before men and God and when Christ was crucified He took sin upon Him and became sin and became a curse and God joyfully and willingly without pity crushed and destroyed His one and only Son. But on the third day Christ rose to the right hand of the Father and conquered death and now sends His Spirit to renew and regenerate and strengthen His children to walk in His Holy ways with joy and willingness. Those who seek Christ in faith receive the righteousness He lived and the blood that He shed for the forgiveness of sins and when we put our faith and trust in that for salvation and turn from our sins because we do realize He commands it and because we do love Him, with this all bundled up and entitled as saving faith we are saved. That righteousness and blood is granted to us by saving faith because we do believe in Christ's life and sacrifice and we do believe His word when it says to let go of sin and worldly desires and we don't repent to justify ourselves but because the Justifier commands it and because we let these things go to grow in Him by His Spirit which breaks us over sin and strengthens and encourages us to press on and guides us to truth. Our question now is this: Is this a reality in your life?
