Shalom I wish you a blessed and contemplative Sunday. Enter into the rest of God and hear what he has to say!

Romans 3, 24

and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

made accessible you will without merit, by his grace through the redemption. You must and can add unto absolutely nothing. Open to the gift of God with pleasure, it is a gift for you.

This verse contains two words that Paul used most frequently to convey the concept of salvation, namely “be justified” and “salvation”. The Grundbdeutung of “redemption” (gr. Apolytrosis) comes from a ransom is paid.

to be redeemed so called, redeemed, to be repurchased or restored. It also resonates with, saved to be freed and released.

“To be made accessible” (gr. Dikaioo) means “with God just to be” (Romans 2, 13), “made righteous” to be (Romans 5: 18-19), “added” just or ” to be put right “. In justice is expressed so to be declared “not guilty”. You are acquitted, and an acquittal does not mean guilty. Nothing can you ascribe a debt, you’re free. Live this freedom and never leave you again impose a servitude. Alleluia you’re free, rejoice because at all times.

Jesus Christ has the ransom paid for you by shedding his own blood and gave his life to your place has (Mt 20, 28; Mk 10, 45; 1 Corinthians 6: 20; Ephesians 1: 7; Titus 2, 14; Heb 9, 12; Peter 1: 18-19). He has given the most valuable for you, he paid with his life, could not be better.

Sin is the perfect nature and character of God so opposed that it requires the extreme punishment that. Death (Rom 6, 23) and eternal separation from God Without God’s forgiveness there is no escape from this punishment, and “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” (Hebrews 9, 22). But only God could bring about the perfect payment of sin. This he did by willingly sacrifice his son Jesus Christ. Jesus’ death the ransom has completely settled, and by him covered Jesus all sins for all time.

If you accept his sacrifice and you auslieferst him, you receive his gift of forgiveness and eternal life (Jn 3: 16; 6, 40; Rom 6: 23; 1 Jn 5, 11). The dominion of Satan over your life is broken, you can from now on, live a life of victory. You need you never bend his servitude.

No matter what happens in your life, in what stage of your life you’re currently in, remember you are through Jesus Christ winner. You need yourself never to bow to the situation, because through his sacrifice on the cross you’re winning.

Shalom I wish you a blessed and peaceful fat day. As long as it’s up to you, keep peace with everyone!

Hebrews 10, 19

So we have now, dear brothers and sisters to enter through the blood of Jesus the freedom to the sanctuary.

So we have ……… freedom. The word that here with “Freedom” (gr. Parresia) is translated, can also be translated with boldness or confidence. It appears four times in Hebrews (3, 6; 4, 16; 10, 19; 10, 35). Sometimes it refers to a “rock solid faith” (that is a firmly established faith) or a “bold confidence”. Come in unwavering, outspoken belief in all Freiheiz to your Lord

Here, however, it describes a bold (but humble) freedom and the legitimate access to the “holy of holies” of God’s presence through “the blood of Jesus”. Such access was not possible under the old covenant, apart from a single access once a year by one man (the High Priest).

But when Jesus died, the curtain in the temple tore “from top to bottom in two” (Mk 15, 38); This showed that the barrier to the presence of God had been eliminated; Now the people who come to him through faith in Jesus is, so also you, the direct access open. You can always and everywhere, to go at any time to your God and give him your prayers and your praise. Rejoice because that access is free, you do not need sacrificial rituals provide more, no longer need to wait the high priest, but can come as you are. Your prayers can you personally provide, because the way is clear.

The curtain symbolized the body of Christ (Heb 10, 20), which has been torn by his suffering and death, so that you can get spiritual freedom and free access to God. This means that you can ever come up with gratitude and confidence in prayer to God. Come as you are and worship, the Lord of glory.

Shalom I wish you a blessed and very nice day. Open today deliberately, the little beautiful things true with a grateful heart that God hath given thee.

1 John 2: 26-27

These things have I written unto you by them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you; but as the same anointing teaches everything, it’s true and is no lie, and as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.

In the power of the Holy Spirit!

The men of the new direction of looking the community detach from all their previous possession. Like today, strange doctrines try to creep into the church. Where they lead the community? John can only say: astray! But this is not just a mere assertion? Should the town bow to the word of the ancient Apostle easily? No. John know each other in a very different situation of the municipality. He does not have to keep up with mere external authority. The town itself has the true, inwardly at leading “teachers” in their midst, in their hearts.

Because with the word that they heard from the beginning, the Holy Spirit came into the church. “Word” and “Spirit” are directly connected. Just transferred the formed and certified by the Spirit word and brings to faith. And again in believing hearing the word we are sealed with the Holy Spirit.

Every temptation, every trial in your life which you will can resist in Jesus name make you stronger in the Holy Spirit. Even Jesus went full of the Spirit in the desert, resisted all temptations and he went in the strength of the Holy Spirit back from the desert. (Luke 4: 1-14)

Pray for the Holy Spirit in you is strong and gives you power and authority.

Shalom I wish you a blessed and victorious day, in the name of Jesus Christ!

1 John 3: 1

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore we, the world does not know, because they did not recognize him.

You’re his child!

There are children of God! And they are not just somewhere other people, John does not speak now of “anyone who … ..” but speaks of “us”. “We” are called children of God, and “we” are there! Nothing ventured is classified within this “we”, shall verify seriously, how it is with him and how he is to God.

It’s not about piety and excellence can make themselves God’s child with you or you should. Then You’d certainly never to the “We” can count, of which John speaks here.

But in reality it is quite different. You can just as you are, come to Jesus and throw up Jesus. Then “called” you to the Father Jesus Christ instantly his child and gives you his love in Jesus and to Jesus sake and tells you that you are now his beloved child. These can and do you need not add to it, everything is pure grace of God. Come as you are and let you pick up there where you now stand in this moment, from dad in heaven.

Pray for that you can classify you into the family of God with all my heart and you can call the Heavenly Father “Papa” from the deep heart, for you are his child. You are a child of God. Through your faith in Jesus Christ

Shalom I wish you a blessed and happy day in the arms of Jesus Christ. Keep you in everything, a grateful heart and let you always aware of what Jesus Christ has done for you.

1 John 3, 2

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and yet is not clearly

become, what we shall be; but we know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see him as he is.

Daily growth and change!

From God’s incomprehensible love John spoke and “Look!” A he pointed out. That is why he speaks the recipient of the letter now the “lover” of. It confirms it: “Beloved, now we are children of God.” Even if the little sentence in verse 1, “and we are there” would not be original, here we see that John has not thought of a mere “name” child of God without reality ,

But even so, John also knows about that “already and not yet” that all statements of the New Testament are about us Christians their identity.

No new testament asking God’s commandment thinks “perfectionist”; nobody thinks that the church “perfect”, “completed” is. Everyone knows how much reminders that have “sacred” needed to make them really as “holy” life. And Paul shows in Romans 8:23 with rugged clarity the impassable limits of our Neuwerdens, now in our existence. That is why the “eschatology”, the proclamation of the future and longing wait for the all-accomplished works of God is determinative of all statements of the New Testament. The John joins full, even if he “owning” of eternal life, the “Hinübergeschrittensein from death to life”; emphasized (1 Jo Jo 3.14 5.24). Yet he knows it: We are not, “what we shall be.” We are not there yet, so, it was not even apparently! Perhaps John gladly used with this set back against the Gnosis, who wanted to know too well how our completion state will look like.

You do not have to be perfect, and certainly not out of you, because you will fail and despair. You’ll throw yourself in great crises of faith if you try to be perfect, it is and can not prosper. Jesus Christ in you will transform you and lead you step by step to the goal a little closer.

About you change every day and listen to force things in the rest lies strength. In God you can be relaxed and balanced, because he will give you his peace, it hold fast.

Pray for that Jesus Christ is increasing more and more in you and you abnimmst. That the world can see you who Jesus Christ is.

Shalom I wish you a contemplative and good Sunday. Rejoice 0ber everything Jesus has done for you!

1 John 3, 3

Who has this hope – a hope that is entirely tailored to Jesus – holding from every sin away, to be as pure as he.

The hope is alive in our lives! Without “hope” no one can live. But all earthly hopes, so they can energize us and meet some time, but are still births.

We have a “living hope” (1 Pt 1,3), a hope that not with everything else goes by in our lives and makes the very reason also our age bright and livable. It is the “hope” that “relies on him” the believer. This hope is not deceptive, because the one on which we found, not deceptive. You do not end in death because he, to which we hope the death conqueror who is risen.

But even this hope and just they – will now determine us also effective in the reality of our lives.

It is a basic train in the biblical statements about the future that they never serve the sole interest of knowledge or enjoyment of personal happiness. They always act into our present life with power as an incentive. So it is with John, he assures: “. And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure” Let us respect on the wording!

John does not say the church: Those who live in this hope, “must” cleanse or “should” be cleaned. John is convinced it is with the innermost necessity. Here we notice again the freedom of all “morality” and all mere “law” in.

But how then is this “clean” about? John says he “purifies himself, even as he is pure.” The “just as” in Greek has not only a comparative sense, but also a causative sound. In our “hope” to him, which is a, is a “doing” well founded, the like of a living source always new flows of our hope: that fact “some” of our lives here and now.

If its size is really bright before us: “I will be like him,” I can now tolerate nothing in me what to its purity does not fit as a dirty, dark and ungodly.

Pray for Jesus Christ is in you figure that you abnimmst and Jesus Christ is increasing in you.

Shalom I wish you a blessed and successful start into the new week. May the Lord bless your hands work and protect your ways!

1 John 3.5
And you know that he appeared to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

You are bought with precious!

The “white” anyone who is at all Christian.

Jesus throughout the greatness of his love came not to overlook sin, to apologize and to play down, but they “take away”.

That was the whole and sole objective of his mission and revelation.

For us, he has come precisely for this reason, so that we can be free from sin. We should not look away, do not look past their own sins, and not for the sin of the brother and sister, we are called to mutual serve, this includes, to name the sin clear. Or will you be guilty if your brother remains in sin until the last hour and is not recognized for that?

Everyone in the community knows where this “taking away” was what price it cost. Jesus divulged his heavenly glory and was “the Lamb of God, the sin of the world carried away”, through a lifetime by bleeding and dying on the cursed tree. So terrible is the sin, so necessary our liberation and purification of her.

But if Jesus in this bloody Earnest was to “take away” our sins, we should want to keep it?

If the sin of the father, the sacrifice of the Son, the Son demanded the death on the cross for their extinction, then we might consider it harmless and excusable? That’s impossible! Not the rebellion against the law, but the contempt of precious saving act of God in Jesus is John the really frightening thing, and that happens when you take sin lightly. In view of the work Jesus he wants “everyone” in the municipality of sin looks in all its severity.

Recognize how much you have been paid for, it do not come cheap by your persistence of sin.

“And there is no sin in him” in Jesus. It also testifies to Paul, Jesus, “the knew no sin”. Just so he could “be made for you to sin” (2 Co 5:21). Just putting cleanse his blood of all sin.

Pray for the Holy Spirit to help you let go of the sin and the precious price to estimate value.

Shalom I wish you a blessed day fat. A day full of love and peace, so long as it is up to you keep peace with everyone!

1 John 3, 6

He who abides in Him does not sin; the sinner has not seen him and not recognized.

This is in particular a measure of those sets of John who are so “easy” that they need no explanation and Verständlichmachung, and at the same time yet so challenging that we should rebel against it inwardly.

There is a simple way to recognize the undeniable truth of challenging set itself: we try to reverse the sentence: “Anyone who remains in Jesus, sin.” We immediately see that is impossible “He who abides in Jesus, is divorced from sin , No one can simultaneously remain in Jesus and in sin.

Teaches John but sinlessness all real Christians?

Yes and no.

No, he himself stresses with great seriousness, that no one may say: “sin, we have not” (1 John 1.8). He has explicitly spoken of the “confession of sin” (1 John 1.9). And he has counted in 1 Jn 2,1 so that “anyone sins”. That this happens again and again, is because that we do not as we should, could “remain in him”. We are suddenly fallen back in our own lives; and then we sin.

Even Paul, who sees died us in Romans 6:11 as sin, counted in Gal 6.1 so that Chris is overtaken in his case. No “sinless” in themselves are not the believers that Jesus gave himself and his dearly purchased possession were. But then it happens that their sin is unbearable to them that they recognize the incompatibility of “sin” and “Jesus” with pain and now confess their sin according to the word that John and learn forgiveness and cleansing from all sin by the blood attain the son of God anew. Then they are “sinless” because forgiveness through Jesus, the sin-bearer of the world, from every sin cleanse (1jo 1.7) and we in him “God’s righteousness” are (2 Co 5:21).

Pray for the forgiveness of your sins and leave from her, so that Jesus Christ is in you Gestallt. So that the world recognizes you who is Jesus Christ, and they come to knowledge of the truth. The truth is Jesus Christ, to find not only in word but also in your life for the people of the world.

Stretch yourself every day anew, after from holiness, shun sin, and utterly out of your life. Stay in Jesus Christ, every day on new Ask him to help. For it is he who works in the weak powerful, is weak and hear out of you to fight.
