“Forgiven and Redeemed”

 Isaiah 48:17

The LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says;

I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is good

and leads you along the paths you should follow.  (NLT)

     The LORD created us to be able to come into His Presence as Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden, but when sin entered into the equation, the relationship was broken and mankind began to depend on themselves and could no longer be in a close relationship or walk in His Presence.  But because of God's great love for human beings, He came into this broken world as a man of flesh to remove our sins, take our just punishment, and to reestablish the broken relationship.  Our Lord and God not only reconciled the relationship so we could enter into the holy Presence of God, but after ascending back into Heaven He sent the Holy Spirit into the world to help guide and protect us while travel this difficult journey on the road to Heaven.

     When you humbly ask God to forgive all your sins, He will.  When you ask Him to make you a new person, He does.  When you ask Him to be the Lord over your life and will, He accepts.  Christ Jesus chose to pay the ransom that freed us from the power of sin that leads to darkness and death.  When you surrender to the One who created you and also saved you, He removes the blinders from your eyes and softens your heart so you can better see and understanding the world around you.  He teaches you the Truth—what is right and what is not—what is good and what is bad, because the world teaches you  just the opposite.  And as you trust the Lord of your life, He provides both the power and motivation to transform your old, sin-filled life of darkness and doubt into a brand new life filled with everlasting hope and peace.  Our awesome God and Savior is the Sovereign King of the universe and He invites you to be a part of His holy family as His adopted child, and you will receive the crown of everlasting life, walking and talking with the Author of Life, as you were created to do.

                                               A Whisper of Hope 

My dear child…listen closely for My voice, for when you hear Me calling, follow the path that brings you back into My Presence.  You live in a dangerous world and you need My Spirit to protect and safely lead you home.  Your journey in this fallen world will be hard and exhausting, but your struggles and pain will shape your eternal character and prepare you for a heavenly journey unlike anything you can ever imagine!

1 Timothy 2:5, 6

For there is only One God and One Mediator

who can reconcile God and people. He is the man

Christ Jesus.  He gave His life to purchase freedom for everyone.  (NLT)

                                          So Christ has really set us free.
