Dearly Beloved

The Lamb of God
Dearly beloved of God, our Lord Jesus Christ paid for our sins and our sicknesses when he gave his life as our Passover Lamb. I stand in awe of his great love for us.
Jesus Christ offered one sacrifice for sins forever – he offered his own life in our stead. By one offering he perfected forever them that are sanctified. We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
In Christ we are justified, and we will never again come unto condemnation.
Now we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins according to the riches of His grace which He abounded toward us. Beloved, he obtained eternal redemption for us!
God conformed us to the image of His Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified.
He that spared not His own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how will He not WITH HIM also freely give us ALL THINGS?
God’s purpose, plan, will, and desire to bless us in Christ in beyond our wildest dreams. He loves us so much He was willing to give His only begotten Son for us.
In Christ we are dearly beloved and highly favored in our Father’s sight. Remember that when you take communion.
Jesus Christ our Passover was slain for us!
Dearly beloved, to be healed by his body which was given for you, and to share in the new covenant in Jesus Christ’s blood was God’s idea. Healing and all the blessings of the new covenant made in his blood are God’s Will for us. God our Father wants us to partake of the deliverance His Son accomplished for us.
Jesus Christ accomplished what none of us could accomplish for ourselves, and the Father freely gives us all things with His Son. It is ours to receive.
God instructed Moses to have the children of Israel offer the first Passover lamb the night before they left Egypt. They left their captivity without one feeble knee among them.
Beloved, our lamb is far, far better than theirs. Don’t expect less deliverance from the Lamb of God that was slain for us than the deliverance they received when they offered their lamb.
The reason we can be healed in holy communion is that it is the will of God. The reason we can partake of the blessings of the new covenant is because it is God’s Will for us to have them.
Dearly beloved, thank God our Father for the great grace He has shown us in Christ. Remember, the Father freely gives us all things with Christ. It is all ours by the grace of God our Father.
