THE RECONCILIATORY POWER OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS. Part 3

2Corinthians 5:17-20 (KJV) 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.
Colossians 1:20-21; Romans 5:10-11; Ephesians 2:13-17; Hebrews 2:17.

Today we continue in part three our study of the fourth mystery of the blood of Jesus which is the RECONCILIATORY POWER of the blood of Jesus.

6. When God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden it was not a punishment but only a natural and spiritual consequence of their action. God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, because in His loving kindness God did not want them to eat of the Tree of Life since He had a plan of salvation for man. If Adam and Eve had eaten the Tree of Life it would have made peace and reconciliation with God impossible. Eating the Tree of Life after they had sinned would have led to sin unto death. Like the devil, the sin unto death would have made redemption impossible for man.
Remember that after Adam and Eve sinned they were the ones who ran and hid themselves from the presence of God. Even if God knew they had sinned He still came to them but instead of Adam and Eve taking responsibility for their action they went into blame game. Probably if they had confessed their sin and sought forgiveness the story would have been different. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He has always been disposable to peace and reconciliation with man. God the bible says is slow to anger, plentious in mercy, full of compassion and gracious. Genesis 3:8-24; 1John 1:9; 5:16-17; Psalm 78:38; 86:15; 145:8. Hebrews 13:8.

7. Also because of the reconciliatory power of the blood of Jesus, the Gentiles who were enemies of God in the old testament are now reconciled and brought into the household of God and given equal status with the Israelites (the Jews) who had a covenant relationship with God. The blood had made peace between God and all men including the Gentiles. The barriers of the law and covenant have been removed by the establishment of a new covenant in Christ Jesus and a new law and commandment of love. Ephesians 2:11-19; Colossians 3:10-11; Romans 10:12-13; 1Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:26-29; John 13:34-35.

8. In the reconciliation between God and man, God was completely innocent and blameless of any wrong doing leading to the fall of man and separation from God. But man on all grounds was guilty and deserving full punishment for his wrong doing against God. God's love through the blood of Jesus took every suffering, punishment, sorrow, pain and judgement that man was supposed to have suffered. By this act God demonstrated His love nature to all creation that love is longsuffering and covers multitude of sins. Isaiah 53:3-12; 2Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-8; Hebrews 2:14; 2Corinthians 8:9; John 3:16; 1Corinthians 13:4-8; 1Peter 4:8.

All the reconciliatory work of the blood of Jesus is available and accessible to you today if you believe. The purpose of all what we are saying is that God wants you to begin to see yourself in the eyes and light of all that the blood of Jesus has done for you and has made you, and no more in your fleshly natural sin nature so that you can begin to enjoy the fullness of the blessings of the mystery of the blood of Jesus which includes eternal life and freedom from sin, sickness, diseases, poverty, demonic oppression, fear, doubts, anxieties and death.

If you need healing the bible says In Matthew 8:17 that Jesus himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe he took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If he took them then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

You can also become a born again child of God. The bible says If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: O God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus died for me. I believe that you raised him from the dead for my salvation from all the powers of the devil. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

Jesus is coming very soon. If you prayed this prayer of Salvation, pls go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus.

Grace be with you.
