EXHORTATION through the BOOK of LIFE
Scripture to ponder:
”And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.“
John 17:22-23 ASV
🤺 YOU CAN NEVER RUN AWAY FROM GOD’S PRESENCE 🤺
There was a time under the law in the Old Testament where God would be with you only when you were in complete obedience. But when you failed, He would leave you. Today, however, you and I are under a completely different covenant and God will never leave us. Why? Because of what Jesus did on the cross. At the cross, He became your burnt offering. He bore your sins and carried your punishment. God’s judgment against your sins fell upon Jesus, who was forsaken at the cross by His Father so that today, you can have God’s constant, unceasing presence in your lives.
Jesus cried out, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” so that you and I will know exactly what happened on the cross (Matthew 27:46). That is where the divine exchange took place. At the cross, Jesus took your sins and gave up the presence of God, while you receive Jesus’ righteousness and the presence of God that Jesus had. God’s presence is now yours for eternity. What a divine exchange!
Let’s go together in the Bible and see about our inheritance in Christ: “For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ So we may boldly say: ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?’” (Hebrews 13:5–6). What confidence you can have today! Do you know what “never” here means? It means that when you are up, He is with you. When you are down, He is with you. When you are glad, He is with you. When you are sad, He is with you. When you are doing right, He is with you. Even when you have failed, He is still with you! That is what it means when Jesus said that He would never leave you nor forsake you!
Because Jesus, your prosperity, peace, provision, and wisdom, is always with you, you cannot help but prosper!
Jesus’ beloved !
AMEN & AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾!!
