“Anew Way”

Hebrews 9:11, 12

So Christ has now become the High Priest.  He has entered that great,

perfect Sanctuary in Heaven, not made by human hands and not part

of this created world.  With His own blood—not the blood of goats and

calves—He entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured

our redemption forever.  (NLT)

     Our Lord God and Savior, Jesus Christ is the Final Sacrificial Lamb of God—no other blood needs to be shed for the sins of man.  The death and blood of our Savior satisfied God's anger and we have been cleansed.  This Good News clothes us in the righteousness of Christ and provides the Way to Heaven and everlasting life.  Under this saving grace of God, no other blood sacrifice is needed.  The old system of sacrifice found in the Law of Moses was only a shadow of the things to come, paving the Way for our sins to be forgiven once and for all time.

     But there is yet another sacrifice needed; it is the living sacrifice of putting to death your old sinful life by nailing it to the Cross and being resurrected into a new creation who lives in the Power of the Holy Spirit.  There is no other Way. Once forgiven this Way, always forgiven.  No longer do you need to struggle alone with sin and the powers of darkness, because you have the Spirit in your heart to give to give you everything you need.  When you accept the gift of forgiveness and salvation from the Lord, you are cleansed and holy.  In Christ you are made perfect, without Him you are guilty.

                                           A Whisper of Hope

Surrender, dear child...and let My death be yours.  I paid the price for your sins so you would not have to.  All that is needed is your living sacrifice—putting to death your old life of sin to become a new creation in Me—forever cleansed and robed in Righteousness.

2 Corinthians 5:17, 18

What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. 

They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun! 

All this newness of life is from God, who brought us back to Himself through

what Christ did.  (NLT)

                           May you always be filled 

             with the fruit of your salvation—

        those good things that are produced in your 

                      life by Jesus Christ.

                           (Philippians 1:11)
