The believer is (1) "born again" into the Kingdom of God and baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Church, the Body of Christ. The only way a man, woman, boy, or girl can enter the Kingdom of God is by being born again. The fullness of redemption is coming with our Lord Jesus Christ. God strikes down our youthful glee, our striving for position and preeminence, our impulsive enthusiasms. Initial salvation, the first area of redemption, makes it possible for us to enter the plan of redemption. Growth in service comes to us if we follow on to know the Lord. The blood of Christ redeems us from the guilt of our sin but it is the power of the Holy Spirit, acting on the authority of the blood, that conquers the force of the sin that binds us. Are we willing to be troubled on every side, perplexed, persecuted, cast down, as we attempt to follow the Lord? If you are a Christian but are continuing to practice some sin concerning which the Spirit of God has reproved you, confess that sin to Christ vocally, clearly, and specifically. Jesus is coming again with unlimited authority, power, and glory to bring deliverance to His Church, and to the nations of the earth that will receive His lordship over them. Keep on believing in the redeeming virtue of Christ and you will receive your healing, according to the wisdom of God, unless it is time for the Lord to take you to glory. The Lord Jesus is accomplishing more than saving us in our sins. From now on, death holds no terrors for us. Each sin we commit denotes a certain amount of enslavement to Satan, although we may not realize it. Then the Holy Spirit causes the Life of Christ to be born in us. The judgment of God came on Christ and He was crucified. There is a lake that burns with the pungent smell of burning sulfur. We were made in the image of God Almighty. Heaven is a real place, a Paradise of peace and joy. He is saving us from our sins (Matthew 1:21). God’s Holy Spirit has taken up His abode in us for eternity (John 14:16,17). All things are possible to the person who believes God. We are “born again.”. We may say that the area of sanctification is a reaping to the Holy Spirit just as the area of initial salvation is a reaping to Christ. (Ephesians 1:14), And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. In fact, it is the fear of the Lord that is the beginning of wisdom. The redeemer must have enough money or strength, or both, depending on the conditions of servitude. In Christ, God brought to an end the first creation. He has the authority and power to deliver us—spirit, soul, and body. The first death we must die, as the Divine redemption is worked out in us, is our entrance into the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. Let us begin with an overview of each as a ground on which to expand our concepts. We overcome the accuser by the blood of the Lamb of God. There is no sin in the holy city. © 2019 Trumpet Ministries, Inc. All rights reserved. The area of sanctification is one of conquering sin, of instruction in godliness, of the testimony of the Person, will, and way of God Almighty, of preparation for greater transformation and blessing yet to come. It is the third area of redemption. By sanctification is meant the setting apart of the Christian as holy to the Lord. Healing is included in your redemption. And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. No matter what we may have done in this life, as soon as we receive the forgiveness of God through Christ our sins are gone! removed! Healing is included in your redemption. The Lake of Fire is no mere symbol of God’s anger, it is a real lake, a prison of eternal torment. We may suffer delayed gratification of what we desire fervently.
We regain, release what had been taken from us. In this manner we purify ourselves in preparation for His glorious appearing (I John 3:1-3).
Death to self is the third area of redemption. No person can serve the Lord and personal ambition at the same time. After we have petitioned the Lord for our healing, and have thanked Him for His goodness and mercy toward us, we are to rest in Christ.
