Once for All Forgiveness

Once for All Forgiveness - Part 2

A chair was a forbidden piece of furniture inside the Jewish tabernacle and later in the temple. Why? Imagine for a moment that you’re an average citizen of Israel. You enter the temple on the Day of Atonement and are greeted by a priest lounging in

a La-Z-Boy.

What would this communicate to you? He must have nothing left to do! To avoid this false impression, God didn’t allow such a scene to take place. He forbade Levitical priests to sit down on the job, so that the image of unfinished business would be imprinted on their consciences.

Hebrews contrasts the constant standing and ongoing religious performances of Old priests with our seated High Priest, who will never again offer another sacrifice for sins:

“Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this priest [Jesus] had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God.” — Hebrews 10:11–12

“After [Jesus] had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” — Hebrews 1:3

Grasping this truth can revolutionize our understanding of how pure and clean we are before God. We’re invited to recognize our High Priest as seated at the right hand of the Father, with nothing left to do about our sins. The work is completed, and we’re now forgiven for all time.

Our past, present, and future sins were dealt with simultaneously through the cross. God didn’t discriminate with regard to time of occurrence. All of our sins were in the future when Jesus died. He looked down the entire timeline of human existence and took away all sins.

Whether the sins occurred two thousand years before or after the cross made no difference. When Jesus finished wiping out all record of our sins, he took a seat. And he has been relaxing at God’s right hand ever since.

What position are you in with regard to your sins? Are you standing up, running around, and trying to make up for them?

Attempting to get forgiven, to get cleansed?

Or are you seated with Jesus Christ in a relaxed position? Do you realize that your Savior has taken them away once and for all?

His LOVE

The Lost Coin- Today we are gaining knowledge from the eminent parable " The Lost Coin" (Luke 15:8-10 Kjv). In the above context, the Bible referred to a "Value" . The Bible says that, the women had 10 coins with her and unfortunately she lost one coin. To regain that coin, that women started seeking all around. If it was a night, Bible says, she would have definitely light a lamp and searched for it. Why that lady kept all her effort to regain that coin? Its because, the coin has a " value" . With that coin she can comfort herself, can buy groceries, can lend to someone. If there is no value to that coin, she would have neglect that coin and would had a nap. Similarly, even we too have a "value". The bible says that we are more greater and valuable than angels because, Jesus gave us the authority of son-ship ( Romans 8:15 Kjv). Our value is not live by ...

Sons of Abundance

Sons of Abundance In a world often marked by scarcity and striving, the call to become "Sons of Abundance" is a powerful invitation to live in the fullness of God’s provision and grace. This mindset is not about material wealth alone but encompasses a life overflowing with spiritual, emotional, and relational richness—a life rooted in the knowledge of God as our loving Father. When we embrace our identity as His children, we step into a divine inheritance that transforms how we think, live, and give. 1. Knowing God as a Father At the heart of abundance is a deep understanding of God’s character as our Father. He is not distant or detached but intimately involved in every aspect of our lives. Galatians 4:7 (Mirror) reminds us, “Your sonship qualifies you to immediately participate in all the wealth of GOD’s inheritance which is yours because of CHRIST.” Similarly, Ephesians 1:11 (NLT) declares, “Furthermore, because we are united with CHRIST, we have received an inheritanc...

Identity in CHRIST - Part 5 (We Died With HIM)

We Died With HIM JESUS died twice on the Cross. I knew this for many years, but I had no scriptural evidence of it. One day I discovered Isaiah 53:9, the answer to my long search. "And they made HIS grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in HIS deaths." The word "death" is plural in the Hebrew. Many of you who have Bibles with marginal renderings will notice it. That is, JESUS died two deaths on the Cross: HE died spiritually (in the realm of the Soul) before HE died physically. In J ohn 10:18 HE said that no one could take HIS life from HIM. HE could not be killed; HE could not die. Why? Because HIS body was not mortal. JESUS had a body just like GOD the FATHER. It was a perfect, human body, not Mortal, nor Immortal. It was a body that could not die until sin had taken possession of His spirit. In other words, JESUS had to die spiritually (Soul) before HE could die physically. If JESUS' body had been like yours and mine, then HE was not Deity, HE was n...
