Bible Matters 346: Redemption

This is the year of Redemption.   Accept his Blessings.  God is asking you to be part of his priesthood.  Use the power of Salvation to be his witness as a Minister of Salvation being led by the Spirit to the Lost so that can depart from their old flesh and with a converted heart become an offspring as a child of God. 

The above was brought to you by God’s Bible Numbers for this past Easter Week.  The next Easter week to align with these Easter dates is 2086.

The world is going dark.  We celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ on 3/31.  The power of the Trinity was fulfilled and when you put your trust in Jesus Christ as you Lord and Savior, you become his offspring.  Yes, the bible number for offspring is 31!   God is offering you salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ.  Redemption is offered not by knowing Jesus, but trusting him.  By walking in the light as Jesus walked in the light.  When you walk in the light, you are a new creature, you’re a new man with your sins washed away.

1 John 1:7 – But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Matthew 5:16 – Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

When you trust Jesus and eat of his flesh, you understand what he wants you to do.  The flesh is the Word of God. 

John 1:1 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

God instructions starts with God (Genesis) and ends with God (Revelation).  God wants you only to listen to him.

Genesis 1:1 – In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Revelation 22:13 – I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

God has told you to understand the truth in his word out of the mouth of two witnesses.  See also Ruth 4:11, 1 Kings 21:10, 1 Kings 21:13 and Joshua 2:1-15.

Deuteronomy 19:15 – One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

Both Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh were spies that had been sent by Moses to the land of Canaan.  Both returned and told Moses, Aaron and the assembly of the Israelites not to fear the giants that dwelled in Canaan

Numbers 14:9 – Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.

Moses feared the giants and he did not enter the promise land.  This is not the only time Moses defied the Lord.  Earlier Moses had married an Ethiopian woman against God’s will.  Two witnesses spoke against it.

Numbers 12:1 – And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

The third time that Moses defied the Lord, it offended God. 

Numbers 20:8-13 – Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.  And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him.  And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?  And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.  And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.  This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.

Later, Joshua sent two witnesses to spy on Jericho. Rahab believed that the God of the Hebrews would destroy her city.  She asked to be saved from death if she helped the spies escaped.  Joshua believed the two witnesses and God spared Rahab and her family.

Joshua 2:1 – And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into a harlot’s house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

Joshua 6:25 – And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

God magnified Joshua because he listened to the Lord

Joshua 3:7 – And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.

With the shed blood of Jesus, God offers you redemption and the gift of everlasting life!  This gift is available when you listen to the word of God.  When you put your trust in him, God will make unto you wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption. 

1 Corinthians 1:30 – But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

You know from his word, how the will of God is to work in your life.  God has a plan for you.  Redemption is about putting your trust in God, repenting of your sins and to go live a righteous life to the praise and glory of his name. 

Ephesians 1:4-5,7-8,12-13 – According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; [8] Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;  That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Your salvation is based on knowing and doing the will of God. 

Hebrews 9:15 – And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Matthew 7:21 – Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

To God be the glory in all you do, Amen.
