Line after line, scripture after scripture, our cornerstone scriptures today show us the evidence. They show us the truth. These scriptures demonstrate throughout the Old and the New Testament, the power of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice that he made on the cross.
Reconciled Back To God
He endured the cross in the shame that we may be reconciled back to our father and be the righteousness of God in the earth. This was the love of God that he sent his only begotten son. That if we would believe on him, that we would have everlasting life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16 KJV
The truth of the matter is that every cost that the world tells us we have to pay for our mistakes, God has already paid it. Jesus bore the weight of our sin so that you and I can be here today living without enduring the weight of sin, living without enduring death, which is the wage of sin.
Our God sent His son to die on the cross that Jesus would be the first of many, the fruit that bore forth truth that he was God alone, and that we could come before our God with no limit.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. - John 12:24 KJV
That we could come before God and we could pray, that we could seek His face, and that we could know the Lord our God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The entire ministry of reconciliation was laid on that cross this faithful day. As we look to the hills from which cometh our help (Psalm 121:1-2 KJV), as we look up and seek His face, remember that every weight can break and every wall can come down.
He has washed us of our sin. As far as the east is from the west, He separated us and washed us as white as snow. This is the grace and glory of God in the scripture that we are able to walk in liberty, that where His spirit is, we are free (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). This is the promise of God, but it’s more than just a promise. It is what He walked out in the earth.
The Cost of Liberty
It is the price He paid so that we could be free. And so sudden shifts, sudden breakthroughs, sudden open doors and turnarounds, these things are possible and made able by the spirit of the living God. It is by faith that we begin to see things change.
It is by faith that we begin to become someone new, that our hearts and minds are renewed in His scripture and in His word. This is why there are so many scriptures provided today, because every single one of these speaks to, prophesies of, and affirms that the blood that was shed on the cross paid the cost that we don’t have to do it again.
We don’t have to pay that cost again. We are not Jesus. We are to be Christ-like in our thinking, Christ-like in our walking, because he is the author and the finisher of our faith, but we are not Jesus. Jesus, the son of God and the son of man, has already paid the cost that we can be free. And receiving that was the first step and truly the only step in our walk with Christ is receiving that he is.
Receiving in our hearts and in our minds that the cost has already been paid so that everything that we do in Christ Jesus can be full of liberty, can be full of freedom, can be full of peace and joy. We don’t have to walk under condemnation or shame. That is not our portion. The weight of yesterday is done. It is broken.
And we are to come before Him with hearts submitted and ready to walk fully in the things of God, ready to walk in our purpose, ready to share the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living, ready to go forth into all the earth and make disciples of men. That’s what God has called us to do and be in the earth.
He’s not called us to sit in darkness, to sit in regret, to sit in shame and unforgiveness. No, He’s called us to be free, and he has paid the cost for it too. He paid it all so that you and I could walk in the liberty, we could walk in the favor, the grace, and the glory of the living God. He is mighty to save. He is mighty to deliver, and he has victory over every chain of iniquity.
It is the word of the Lord and the blood of the lamb, which guides our steps, which secures us, and which paid the cost. It’s all that we need in order to walk fully with God, to walk fully in the peace of God, to walk fully in the favor of the living God.
Today, as you look at your life and as you sit in remembrance of the cost that was paid, that the Lord willingly gave His life for you and me, remember in the midst of this, that God has given you the ability to walk free too. He’s given you the capacity to break chains in the name of Jesus. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
