---FREED FROM GUILT & SHAME/ [ACCEPT JESUS'S PAYMENT FOR YOUR SIN. ] ~~
~~~"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." ---(Romans 8:1-2 / NIV)
~~Just as surely as some of us have been condemned of a crime and imprisoned physically, others of us feel condemned by our weaknesses and shortcomings and are imprisoned spiritually. Paul tells us that through the blood of Jesus, we are no longer condemned by those things and we are set free. None of us are perfect, me included. We have an adversary who will remind us of all the times we didn’t get it right. He will do his best to make you feel unworthy and keep you quiet about all that God has done for you. He wants you to feel so ashamed that you will be inactive and unproductive for the Lord and His Kingdom. We will have to learn to say to him, “That’s right. There was a season in my life when I didn’t make godly choices, but I have humbled myself and repented, and I stand now in Christ. You have no hold over me!” THINK ABOUT ITWhen Jesus endured the cross and all that his public execution entailed, both physically and spiritually, He canceled all legal claim sin would have on you. Don’t listen to the lies of God’s adversary. Accept Jesus’ payment for your shame—God has. PRAYER--"Heavenly Father, Jesus endured the cross and bore my sin so that I can live fruitfully for Him, free from guilt and shame. By His blood, Satan’s hold on me is broken. Jesus’ blood continually cleanses me, and His grace is sufficient for me. In His name I pray, amen."Blessings, Pastor Allen Jackson-[-- For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Not as a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2: 8-9) **Friend, in order to be saved, you must accept the gift from Jesus. A gift is not a gift until it is received. Tell Jesus [and others], that you have been saved through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus paid our sin-debt by dying on the cross for the remission of our sin. Once you have been freed from the enemy's bondage to sin, you will want to tell others about Him, so they can receive the gift of eternal life also. Please help spread the Word. Jesus said he would return once his Word has been spread across the globe. We have the awesome responsibility to tell others about ETERNAL LIFE! Let's get busy. No, we are not saved by works. We are saved by 'GRACE'.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
