Hebrews 9:12 And he has entered once and forever into the Holiest Sanctuary of All, not with the blood of animal sacrifices, but the sacred blood of his own sacrifice. And he alone has made our salvation secure forever!
13 Under the old covenant the blood of bulls, goats, and the ashes of a heifer were sprinkled on those who were defiled and effectively cleansed them outwardly from their ceremonial impurities.
14 Yet how much more will the sacred blood of the Messiah thoroughly cleanse our consciences! For by the power of the eternal Spirit he has offered himself to God as the perfect Sacrifice that now frees us from our dead works to worship and serve the living God. TPT

Heb 9: 26 For then would He often have had to suffer [over and over again] since the foundation of the world.

BLOOD SPEAKS Gen 4:9 The Lord asked Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know,” he answered. “Am I supposed to take care of my brother?”
10 The Lord asked, “What have you done? Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.
11 So now you are cursed from the ground, which has received the blood of your brother whom you killed.
12 When you farm the ground, it will no longer yield its best for you. You will be a fugitive, a wanderer on the earth.” GOD’S WORD

Heb 12:24 And to Jesus, the Mediator (Go-between, Agent) of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks [of mercy], a better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance]. AMP

Romans 5:9 And there is still much more to say of his unfailing love for us! For through the blood of Jesus we have heard the powerful declaration, “You are now righteous in my sight.” And because of the sacrifice of Jesus, you will never experience the wrath of God. TPT

1 John 1:7 But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. AMP

Hebrews 10:9 And then he said, “God, I will be the One to go and do your will.” So by being the sacrifice that removes sin, he abolishes animal sacrifices and replaces that entire system with the new covenant. TPT

1 Cor 5:7 So get rid of this “yeast.” Our true identity is flat and plain, not puffed up with the wrong kind of ingredient. The Messiah, our Passover Lamb, has already been sacrificed for the Passover meal, and we are the Unraised Bread part of the Feast.
8 So let’s live out our part in the Feast, not as raised bread swollen with the yeast of evil, but as flat bread — simple, genuine, unpretentious. MSG

1 COR 5:8 Our daily life is now the extension of the Passover celebration; feasting on sustained innocence! The old sin conscious-system, the leaven-mind set (always anticipating and tolerating sin), is replaced with an understanding of our unleavened innocence, just like when a diamond is scrutinized in the rays of the sun to confirm its flawless integrity. MIRROR

Eph 4:16 He keeps us in step with each other. His very breath and blood flow through us, nourishing us so that we will grow up healthy in God, robust in love.

1 Cor 10:16 When we drink the cup of blessing, aren’t we taking into ourselves the blood, the very life, of Christ? And isn’t it the same with the loaf of bread we break and eat? Don’t we take into ourselves the body, the very life, of Christ?
17 Because there is one loaf, our many-ness becomes one-ness — Christ doesn’t become fragmented in us. Rather, we become unified in him. We don’t reduce Christ to what we are; he raises us to what he is. MSG

I Cor 10:18 I’ve been told many times that when you meet as a congregation, divisions and cliques emerge—and to some extent, this doesn’t surprise me.
19 Differences of opinion are unavoidable, yet they will reveal which ones among you truly have God’s approval.
20 When all of your house churches gather as one church family, you are not really properly celebrating the Lord’s Supper.
21 For when it comes time to eat, some gobble down their food before anything is given to others—one is left hungry while others become drunk!
22 Don’t you all have homes where you can eat and drink? Don’t you realize that you’re showing a superior attitude by humiliating those who have nothing? Are you trying to show contempt for God’s beloved church? How should I address this appropriately? If you’re looking for my approval, you won’t find it!
23 I have handed down to you what came to me by direct revelation from the Lord himself. The same night in which he was handed over, he took bread
24 and gave thanks. Then he distributed it to the disciples and said, “Take it and eat your fill. It is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.”
25 He did the same with the cup of wine after supper and said, “This cup seals the new covenant with my blood. Drink it—and whenever you drink this, do it to remember me.”
26 Whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are retelling the story, proclaiming our Lord’s death until he comes.
27 For this reason, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit will be guilty of dishonoring the body and blood of the Lord.
28 So let each individual first evaluate his own attitude and only then eat the bread and drink the cup.
29 For continually eating and drinking with a wrong spirit will bring judgment upon yourself by not recognizing the body.
30 This insensitivity is why many of you are weak, chronically ill, and some even dying.
31 If you do not sit in judgment of others, you will avoid judgment yourself.
32 But when we are judged, it is the Lord’s training so that we will not be condemned along with the world.
33 So then, my fellow believers, when you assemble as one to share a meal, show respect for one another and wait for all to be served.
34 If you are that hungry, eat at home first, so that when you gather together you will not bring judgment upon yourself. TPT

1 Cor 11:23 Let me go over with you again exactly what goes on in the Lord’s Supper and why it is so centrally important. I received my instructions from the Master himself and passed them on to you. The Master, Jesus, on the night of his betrayal, took bread.
24 Having given thanks, he broke it and said, This is my body, broken for you. Do this to remember me.
25 After supper, he did the same thing with the cup: This cup is my blood, my new covenant with you. Each time you drink this cup, remember me. MSG
NT MEMORY- “in memory of” but in an affectionate calling of the Person Himself to mind; (b) not of the “remembrance” of sins, what is indicated, in regard to the sacrifices under the Law, is not simply an external bringing to “remembrance,” but an awakening of mind offering sacrifices there is a remembrance of sins, the memory of sins committed is revived by the sacrifices,

Matt 26:28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which [ratifies the agreement and] is being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 I say to you, I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it with you new and of superior quality in My Father’s kingdom. AMP

John 6:53 And Jesus said to them, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, you cannot have any life in you unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood [unless you appropriate His life and the saving merit of His blood].
54 He who feeds on My flesh and drinks My blood has (possesses now) eternal life, and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day.
55 For My flesh is true and genuine food, and My blood is true and genuine drink.
56 He who feeds on My flesh and drinks My blood dwells continually in Me, and I [in like manner dwell continually] in him.
57 Just as the living Father sent Me and I live by (through, because of) the Father, even so whoever continues to feed on Me [whoever takes Me for his food and is nourished by Me] shall [in his turn] live through and because of Me.
58 This is the Bread that came down from heaven. It is not like the manna which our forefathers ate, and yet died; he who takes this Bread for his food shall live forever.

1 COR 11:26 Your every meal makes the mandate of his coming relevant and communicates the meaning of the New Covenant.
27 So whoever does not value the meaning of the bread and the wine, keep themselves in condemnation.
28 To see oneself associated in Christ’s death and declared innocent in his blood is the only worthy manner in which to examine one’s own life in the context of the new covenant meal.
29 Anyone who partakes of this meal in an indifferent manner, either because of religious sentiment or merely being blasé about the meaning of the meal, eats and drinks judgment upon themselves! The human body of Jesus represents the judgment of every single human life; to fail to acknowledge this is to deliberately exclude yourself from the blessing of the New Covenant.
30 This is the reason why many of you are suffering unnecessarily with weaknesses and illnesses, and many have already died.
31 By judging that we indeed co-died in his death we are free from any kind of judgment!
32 By discerning the broken body of Christ we can only conclude that he suffered our brokenness and distortion. This is the instruction of the Lord; what foolishness it would be to continue to place yourself and the rest of the world under judgment when Jesus already took all judgment upon himself! MSG

1 Peter 1:18 It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in.

Isa 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

1 Peter 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness–by whose stripes you were healed.

WHATEVER HAS YOUR IMAGINATION

WHATEVER HAS YOUR IMAGINATION HAS YOUR FAITH 10-10-25 VIDEO STEVE
Imagination is the power to for mental pictures, ideas, and concepts, not present to your senses at this time. If persuaded, the imagination can show you new possibilities or how to understand the world in different ways. The devil tempted Eve into the hope of changing her imagination When she saw the tree instead of seeing the reality of it, she saw it in her imagination. She forgot who she was. We can use our imagination to see our self in Christ. Jesus set us free from imagining the wrong things. Worry is imagining something that is in conflict with our faith. God used his imagination to create mankind. Use your imagination to believe you have received what you have asked for.
HEB 11:1 Persuasion confirms confident expectation and proves the unseen world to be more real than the seen. Faith celebrates as certain what hope visualizes as future. MIRROR

GEN 3:6 When the Woman saw that the tree looked like good eating and realized what she would get out of it – she’d know everything! – she took and ate the fruit and then gave some to her husband, and he ate.
7 Immediately the two of them did “see what’s really going on” – saw themselves naked! They sewed fig leaves together as makeshift clothes for themselves.

2 COR 11:3 I am concerned for you that you might pine away through the illusion of separation from Christ and that, just like Eve, you might become blurry-eyed and deceived into believing a lie about yourselves. The temptation was to exchange the truth about our completeness (I am) with the idea of incompleteness (I am not) and shame; thinking that perfection required your toil and all manner of wearisome labor!
4 You will know by the echo within you whether the Jesus someone else preaches is the same Jesus we proclaim to you. You will recognize the same spirit; if it is a different spirit, it is not the same gospel! Why would you politely put up with deception, even if it comes packaged in prominent names and titles!
5 I am not inferior by any calculation to those Apostles so highly ranked in your estimate!
6 I am not here to entertain you with my public speaking skills, or to impress you with me, but to impress you with you! It is not in the plausible sounding words of my conversation, it is in what I know to be true about you. This is clearly evident in all of our dealings with you. MIRROR

2 COR 10:4 The dynamic of our strategy is revealed in God’s ability to disengage mindsets and perceptions that have held people captive in pseudo fortresses for centuries!
5 Every lofty idea and argument positioned against God’s knowledge of us, is cast down and exposed to be a mere invention of our own imagination. We 1arrest every thought at spear point – anything that could possibly trigger an opposing threat to our redeemed identity and innocence is taken captive.

COL 3:1 See yourselves co-raised with Christ! Now ponder with persuasion the consequence of your co-inclusion in him. Relocate yourselves mentally! Engage your thoughts with throne room realities where you are co-seated with Christ in the executive authority of God’s right hand.
2 Becoming affectionately acquainted with throne room thoughts will keep you from being distracted again by the earthly [soul-ruled] realm.
3 Your union with his death broke the association with that world; see yourselves located in a fortress where your life is hidden with Christ in God!
4 The unveiling of Christ, as defining our lives, immediately implies that, what is evident in him, is equally mirrored in you! The exact life on exhibit in Christ is now repeated in us. We are included in the same bliss and joined-oneness with him; just as his life reveals you, your life reveals him. MIRROR

COL 3:1 So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides.

3 Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life – even though invisible to spectators – is with Christ in God. He is your life.
4 When Christ (your real life, remember) shows up again on this earth, you’ll show up, too – the real you, the glorious you. Meanwhile, be content with obscurity, like Christ. MSG

WHATEVER HAS YOUR IMAGINATION HAS YOUR FAITH

WHATEVER HAS YOUR IMAGINATION HAS YOUR FAITH 10-10-25 VIDEO STEVE
Imagination is the power to for mental pictures, ideas, and concepts, not present to your senses at this time. If persuaded, the imagination can show you new possibilities or how to understand the world in different ways. The devil tempted Eve into the hope of changing her imagination When she saw the tree instead of seeing the reality of it, she saw it in her imagination. She forgot who she was. We can use our imagination to see our self in Christ. Jesus set us free from imagining the wrong things. Worry is imagining something that is in conflict with our faith. God used his imagination to create mankind. Use your imagination to believe you have received what you have asked for.
HEB 11:1 Persuasion confirms confident expectation and proves the unseen world to be more real than the seen. Faith celebrates as certain what hope visualizes as future. MIRROR

GEN 3:6 When the Woman saw that the tree looked like good eating and realized what she would get out of it – she’d know everything! – she took and ate the fruit and then gave some to her husband, and he ate.

8 When they heard the sound of God strolling in the garden in the evening breeze, the Man and his Wife hid in the trees of the garden, hid from God. MSG

2 COR 11:3 I am concerned for you that you might pine away through the illusion of separation from Christ and that, just like Eve, you might become blurry-eyed and deceived into believing a lie about yourselves. The temptation was to exchange the truth about our completeness (I am) with the idea of incompleteness (I am not) and shame; thinking that perfection required your toil and all manner of wearisome labor!
4 You will know by the echo within you whether the Jesus someone else preaches is the same Jesus we proclaim to you. You will recognize the same spirit; if it is a different spirit, it is not the same gospel! Why would you politely put up with deception, even if it comes packaged in prominent names and titles!
5 I am not inferior by any calculation to those Apostles so highly ranked in your estimate!
6 I am not here to entertain you with my public speaking skills, or to impress you with me, but to impress you with you! It is not in the plausible sounding words of my conversation, it is in what I know to be true about you. This is clearly evident in all of our dealings with you. MIRROR

2 COR 10:4 The dynamic of our strategy is revealed in God’s ability to disengage mindsets and perceptions that have held people captive in pseudo fortresses for centuries!
5 Every lofty idea and argument positioned against God’s knowledge of us, is cast down and exposed to be a mere invention of our own imagination. We 1arrest every thought at spear point – anything that could possibly trigger an opposing threat to our redeemed identity and innocence is taken captive. The caliber of our weapon is empowered by the revelation of the ultimate consequence of the obedience of Christ. MIRRO

3 Your union with his death broke the association with that world; see yourselves located in a fortress where your life is hidden with Christ in God!
4 The unveiling of Christ, as defining our lives, immediately implies that, what is evident in him, is equally mirrored in you! The exact life on exhibit in Christ is now repeated in us. We are included in the same bliss and joined-oneness with him; just as his life reveals you, your life reveals him. MIRROR

COL 3:1 So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides.

3 Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life – even though invisible to spectators – is with Christ in God. He is your life.

2 When vandal hordes ride down ready to eat me alive, Those bullies and toughs fall flat on their faces.
3 When besieged, I’m calm as a baby. When all hell breaks loose, I’m collected and cool.
4 I’m asking God for one thing, only one thing: To live with him in his house my whole life long. I’ll contemplate his beauty; I’ll study at his feet.
5 That’s the only quiet, secure place in a noisy world, The perfect getaway, far from the buzz of traffic.
6 God holds me head and shoulders above all who try to pull me down. I’m headed for his place to offer anthems that will raise the roof! Already I’m singing God-songs; I’m making music to God.

Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

The sprinkled blood purges our inner thought-patterns; our bodies also are bathed in clean water. (Mirror)

Isaiah 26:14 They [the former tyrant masters] are dead, they shall not live and reappear; they are powerless ghosts, they shall not rise and come back. Therefore, You have visited and made an end of them and caused every memory of them [every trace of their supremacy] to perish. (AMP)

Proverbs 3:5-8 Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go. Don’t think for a moment that you know it all, for wisdom comes when you adore him with undivided devotion and avoid everything that’s wrong. Then you will find the healing refreshment your body and spirit long for. (TPT)

Psalm 18:20-24 God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him. When I got my act together, he gave me a fresh start. Now I’m alert to God’s ways; I don’t take God for granted.

You are so intimately aware of me, Lord. You read my heart like an open book and you know all the words I’m about to speak before I even start a sentence! You know every step I will take before my journey even begins. You’ve gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness you follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past. You have laid your hand on me! His is just too wonderful, deep, and incomprehensible! Your understanding of me brings me wonder and strength. Where could I go from your Spirit? Where could I run and hide from your face? If I go up to heaven, you’re there! If I go down to the realm of the dead, you’re there too! (TPT)

THE IMPORTANCE OF TRUTH 9-27-25

THE IMPORTANCE OF TRUTH 9-27-25 VIDEO spoken Word truth 22
Truth is that which the mature revelation of how God thinks and has created things. His Word reflects 100% of how He thinks, feels, speaks, and loves us. Truth is important to Him. The truth is personal. It’s embodied in Jesus. Truth He speaks, would remain the truth for all of eternity. It has the power to set all who hear Him free!
JN 14:6 Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me. To know me is to know my Father too.
7 And from now on you will realize that you have seen him and experienced him.” TPT

JN 14:6 Jesus said, “I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me.

JN 17:17 Make them holy – consecrated – with the truth; Your word is consecrating truth.
18 In the same way that you gave me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the world.
19 I’m consecrating myself for their sakes So they’ll be truth-consecrated in their mission. MSG

MATT 17:20 “Because you’re not yet taking God seriously,” said Jesus. “The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, ‘Move!’ and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn’t be able to tackle.” MSG

LUKE 6:26 “There’s trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests – look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular.
27 “To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst.
28 When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person.
29 If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it.

THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS

THE POWER OF FORGIVNESS 9-19-25 VIDEO forgive her sons killer

There is great power and freedom in forgiving those who have hurt you. The Greek word most often translated for forgiveness is the word APHIEMI, meaning to send forth or way to let go from our attention. To let go to God. He will get rid of it. Jesus cast out our sins into the sea of forgetfulness. When God forgives He chooses never to remember our sins again. When God forgave it was Jonah was angry about it. We’re forgiven And carry forgiveness wherever we go.  

Mic 7:18 Where is the god who can compare with you —  wiping the slate clean of guilt, Turning a blind eye, a deaf ear, to the past sins of your purged and precious people? You don’t nurse your anger and don’t stay angry long, for mercy is your specialty. That’s what you love most.

19 And compassion is on its way to us. You’ll stamp out our wrongdoing. You’ll sink our sins to the bottom of the ocean. MSG

Ps 130:3 If you, God, kept records on wrongdoings, who would stand a chance?

4 As it turns out, forgiveness is your habit, and that’s why you’re worshiped. MSG

Ps 103:12 And as far as sunrise is from sunset, he has separated us from our sins.

13 As parents feel for their children, God feels for those who fear him. MSG

Matt 9:2 They were hardly out of the boat when some men carried a paraplegic on a stretcher and set him down in front of them. Jesus, impressed by their bold belief, said to the paraplegic, “Cheer up, son. I forgive your sins.”

3 Some religion scholars whispered, “Why, that’s blasphemy!”

4 Jesus knew what they were thinking, and said, “Why this gossipy whispering?

5 Which do you think is simpler: to say, ‘I forgive your sins,’ or, ‘Get up and walk’?

6 Well, just so it’s clear that I’m the Son of Man and authorized to do either, or both. . . .” At this he turned to the paraplegic and said, “Get up. Take your bed and go home.”

7 And the man did it.

8 The crowd was awestruck, amazed and pleased that God had authorized Jesus to work among them this way. MSG

LU 7:44 He then turned to the woman and said to Simon, “While you are both equally debt free and neither of you are under any obligation, look at her, consider how much affection and love she bestows on me! When I arrived at your house, no water was given me for my feet; but this lady washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.  

45 You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but since I arrived, she hasn’t stopped kissing my feet with affection!

46 You did not even anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with fragrant ointment!

47 Do you now see what grace means? However much out of sync with her blueprint she was and however many her distortions were, she had been perfectly freed of all! To be forgiven means that whatever your sins were, they no longer define you! They were and never can be who you really are! She arrived here earlier, purposefully prepared with an alabaster flask of very expensive perfume, to show how extravagantly

much she loved me! He who does not understand the full extent of forgiveness, is like the man who shows only polite appreciation.

48 He then assured her, “You are completely forgiven!”  

49 This had everyone reclining at the table muttering again! “Who does this guy think he is! How dare he forgive someone like that!”

50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your conviction of the truth, has perfectly realized your salvation! Bon Voyage! Journey on in this place of seamless union!  MIRROR

Luke 24:44 Then he said, “Everything I told you while I was with you comes to this: All the things written about me in the Law of Moses, in the Prophets, and in the Psalms have to be fulfilled.”

46 He said, “You can see now how it is written that the Messiah suffers, rises from the dead on the third day,

47 and then a total life-change through the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed in his name to all nations — starting from here, from Jerusalem!

48 You’re the first to hear and see it. You’re the witnesses.

49 What comes next is very important: I am sending what my Father promised to you, so stay here in the city until he arrives, until you’re equipped with power from on high.”

JN 20:22  Having said this he breathed an effusion of Spirit upon them and said, “Take Holy Spirit as your Companion.”

Matt 12:31 “There’s nothing done or said that can’t be forgiven. But if you deliberately persist in your slanders against God’s Spirit, you are repudiating the very One who forgives.

32 If you reject the Son of Man out of some misunderstanding, the Holy Spirit can forgive you, but when you reject the Holy Spirit, you’re sawing off the branch on which you’re sitting, severing by your own perversity all connection with the One who forgives.  MSG

Matt 6:14 “In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do. You can’t get forgiveness from God, for instance, without also forgiving others.

15 If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God’s part. MSG

2 COR 2:7 It is due time now to offer him your forgiveness and closeness lest he be completely swamped with regret.

8 I implore you to make your love for him very clear.  MIRROR

EPH 4:32 Be inspired by kindness and compassion; your forgiving one another when you might feel irritated and frustrated demonstrates the way God graciously treated us in Christ. MIRROR

Mark 11:25 And when you assume the posture of prayer, remember that it’s not all asking. If you have anything against someone, forgive — only then will your heavenly Father be inclined to also wipe your slate clean of sins.”  MSG

LU 11:4 Oh, that your forgiveness of our sins may be fully realized! So, everyone indebted to us may also know that we have released them from their obligations to us! Father, you know us inside-out! Free us thoroughly from any hidden alliance with the old system of performance-based living!   MIRROR

Col 2:13 When you were stuck in your old sin-dead life, you were incapable of responding to God. God brought you alive — right along with Christ! Think of it! All sins forgiven,

Jonah 3:9 Who knows? Maybe God will turn around and change his mind about us, quit being angry with us and let us live!”

10 God saw what they had done, that they had turned away from their evil lives. He did change his mind about them. What he said he would do to them he didn’t do. MSG

Jonah 4:2 He yelled at God, “God! I knew it — when I was back home, I knew this was going to happen! That’s why I ran off to Tarshish! I knew you were sheer grace and mercy, not easily angered, rich in love, and ready at the drop of a hat to turn your plans of punishment into a program of forgiveness!

3 “So, God, if you won’t kill them, kill me! I’m better off dead!”

4 God said, “What do you have to be angry about?” MSG

Heb 2:17 That’s why he had to enter into every detail of human life. Then, when he came before God as high priest to get rid of the people’s sins,

18 he would have already experienced it all himself — all the pain, all the testing — and would be able to help where help was needed.

Jn 1:29 The very next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and yelled out,

30 “Here he is, God’s Passover Lamb! He forgives the sins of the world! This is the man I’ve been talking about, ‘the One who comes after me but is really ahead of me.’

Rev 13:8 And all the inhabitants of the earth will fall down in adoration and pay him homage, everyone whose name has not been recorded in the Book of Life of the Lamb that was slain [in sacrifice] from the foundation of the world. AMP

Rom 5:20 All that passing laws against sin did was produce more lawbreakers. But sin didn’t, and doesn’t, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it’s sin versus grace, grace wins hands down.

21 All sin can do is threaten us with death, and that’s the end of it. Grace, because God is putting everything together again through the Messiah, invites us into life — a life that goes on and on and on, world without end. MSG

ROM 6:6 We perceive that our old lifestyle was co-crucified together with him; this concludes that the vehicle that accommodated sin in us, was scrapped and rendered entirely useless. Our slavery to sin has come to an end.

7 If nothing else stops you from doing something wrong, death certainly does.

8 Faith sees us joined in his death and alive with him in his resurrection.

9 It is plain for all to see that death lost its dominion over Christ in his resurrection; he need not ever die again to prove a further point.

10 His appointment with death was once-off. As far as sin is concerned, he is dead. The reason for his death was to take away the sin of the world; his life now exhibits our union with the life of God. MIRROR

2 COR 5:19 Our ministry declares that Jesus did not act independently of his Father. God was present in Christ when he reconciled the total cosmos to himself. Deity and humanity embraced in him; the fallen state of mankind was deleted; their trespasses would no longer count against them! He now announces his friendship with every individual from within us!  

20 The voice God has in Christ he now has in us; we are God’s ambassadors. Our lives exhibit the urgency of God to persuade everyone to realize the reconciliation of their redeemed identity.  MIRROR

Gal 6:1 Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day’s out.

2 Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ’s law.

3 If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.MSG

Acts 26:17 “‘I’m sending you off

18 to open the eyes of the outsiders so they can see the difference between dark and light, and choose light, see the difference between Satan and God, and choose God. I’m sending you off to present my offer of sins forgiven, and a place in the family, inviting them into the company of those who begin real living by believing in me.’
