Love Through His Blood

Good Afternoon Beauties!
We have fear right now, and Jesus did too! As we begin our study of the next attribute, redeemed, let’s focus on the beautiful Easter story. It began with Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. He was afraid and filled with anguish, but He didn’t let it stop Him from fulfilling His purpose.
“Then He withdrew from them a short distance to be alone. Kneeling down, He prayed, ‘Father, if You are willing, take this cup of agony away from Me. But no matter what, Your will must be Mine.’ Jesus called for an angel of glory to strengthen Him, and the angel appeared. He prayed even more passionately, like one being sacrificed, until He was in such intense agony of spirit that His sweat became drops of blood, dripping onto the ground.” Luke 22:41-44 The Passion Translation
Jesus looked beyond the fear, pain, and heartbreak to fulfill God’s will. He paid our ransom on the cross. A debt we could not pay to set us free from the grip of sin and death. He’s paid it all! There is nothing else to pay. Is the enemy telling you something different? Do you still believe you must earn your freedom, your salvation? That’s a lie!
Let’s look again what the Word tells us, “For you know that your lives were ransomed once and for all from the empty and futile way of life handed down from generation to generation. It was not a ransom payment of silver and gold, which eventually perishes, but the precious blood of Christ—who like a spotless, unblemished lamb was sacrificed for us.” 1 Peter 1:18-19 The Passion Translation. We looked at this scripture just a few days ago, but I want you to hear it and believe it this time. No doubts! Selah.
Let’s look at more Truth in the scriptures…
“He Himself will redeem you; He will ransom you from the cruel slavery of your sins!” Psalm 130:8 TPT
“He gave Himself as ransom-payment for everyone. Now is the proper time for God to give the world this witness.” 1 Timothy 2:6 TPT
Truth sets us free and our response is praise!
“His forever-love paid a full ransom for His people so that now we’re free to come before Jehovah to worship His holy and awesome name!” Psalm 111:9 TPT
“Yahweh’s ransomed ones will return with glee to Zion. They will enter with a song of rejoicing and be crowned with everlasting joy. Ecstatic joy will overwhelm them; weariness and grief will disappear!” Isaiah 35:10 TPT
I pray the Lord holds us especially close today, and the truth of His love for us brings comfort and peace we’re needing. Jesus literally gave it all for us. He gave His very life. What more could He give? Are you asking for more? Selah.
Love and Blessings,

“For even the Son of Man did not come expecting to be served by everyone, but to serve everyone, and to give His life as the ransom price in exchange for the salvation of many.”
