THERE REMAINETH NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SIN.
If we are born again (Born from above) we should bring forth fruits of righteousness. For by their fruits you shall know them. We should be the light of the world because the seed of God is within us. Christ is not the minister of sin, so we cannot habitually practice sin and claim to be a Christian. (I say this that we could examine ourselves). We cannot keep ourselves save, but we are admonished to, “Submit ourselves unto God, resist the devil and he will flee from us” James 7:4
It is God that is worthy of everything good we do, since it’s by His grace we overcome the world. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,….” Jude 24
The ability to live victorious is a gift from God given to those who accept His Son Jesus Christ. None of us can live a good life outside of Jesus. But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousness [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Isaiah 64:6
“And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” 2 Peter 4:18.
Christians are not Christians because they are perfect but they are because of what they allowed God to do in their lives. They are forgiven and had the righteousness of God imputed to then through Jesus Christ. (There remaineth no more sacrifice for sin) If we refuse that one and only sacrifice then you basically seal your faith, because that is the only sacrifice God recognizes.
If what Jesus did by dying for our sin was just for our past sin then we are all in trouble. He died for every sin you and I can and will ever commit. If that is not true then we are not saved. For all have sin and come short of the glory of God. Note that big word “ALL” it mean none is excluded. There is never a time in human history that any one of us can say we are without sin. (Never a time) for if we say we have no sin we make God a liar and the truth (Jesus) is not in us.
Whenever time the rapture takes place, today, tomorrow or whenever there will not be one person on earth that can go up in the rapture because they are free from sin. So if none of us can be raptured bases on our sinless-ness, the question then is what is the qualification for us been raptured?
That answer is the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on the cross now that happened once and it will never happen again. How do I know that? The bible tells us that the father accept the finish work of Jesus, as a complete payment for our sin. The punishment for the sins we commit will never come up again for those who accept Jesus as savior and Lord. Our works will come up as an accountability issue (To show stewardship for what type of work we did as a steward of Christ) but not as an issue for salvation. The reason it will be an accountability issue because as a Christian (Meaning to be Christ-like) we ought to reflect His righteousness. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, who God has before ordained that we should walk in them. When were we ordained for good works? Before we were saved (Really before the foundation of the world) God is not as small as we sometimes try to make him, in fact His ways are past finding out.
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad”. 2 Cor.5:10
The Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, usually referred to simply as Second Corinthians and often written 2 Corinthians, is the 8th book of the New Testament. The book, originally written in Greek, is a letter from Paul of Tarsus to the Christians of Corinth, Greece
This was written to Christians not to sinners. Paul included himself when he said, “We” Our works will be called into account one day, may our work stand the test of fire that it will not burn, for then we will suffer loss. - If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 1 Cor.3:15.
If Jesus death on the cross did not pay for all our sins past, present and future, then just before the rapture happen (And I mean just before like one second away) Jesus would have to come back and die again for those who believe in him that they might be ready for the rapture (Which will happen 1 second after his death – maybe we could remain sinless for that long, maybe not, but at least we would have a better chance) If we see how ridiculous that sounds (And it sure is). There remaineth no more sacrifice for sin, Jesus paid once and for all for every sin those who accept him will ever commit. God will not provide any other sacrifice because the price for sin was laid upon Jesus at the cross, and when He said “It is finish “He meant it. Our redemption was finish. Therefore been justified by faith …There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus; who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death….Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his”.
The only reason we will be caught up in the rapture (Even so Lord Jesus come) is the blood of Jesus. When I see the blood I will pass over you. The blood our sure passport to heaven. Our works are not for salvation but it is a sign to the world that we have had an encounter with Jesus Christ that transformed our lives.
Remember , “For we are God's masterpiece, created in the Messiah Jesus to do good works that God prepared long ago to be our way of life.” Ephesians 2:10
While we’re not perfect, we’re expected to live in the light of Go’s countenance. If we are so living then our lives will be s shining beacon to a darkened world. The purpose of the light is to draw men to Christ. If we refuse to let the light of God shine through in doing the works of righteousness we will be held accountable by God. 2 Cor. 5:10
(Yes we will give account one day even Christians.)
”And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.” 1 John 2:28
If you continue to live a life of sin after you said you’ve accepted God’s gift of grace through Jesus Christ, you should really examine yourself to see if you are saved. Remember not everyone that said Lord, Lord is going to enter but they that do God’s will. We do His will as a sign of what has already done in us. It’s called the fruits of righteousness (Or the fruits of God) If you are in His family you will no doubt produce righteousness.
Again am expecting you to be perfect because if you could then the bible would not be true (“All have sinned and come short…”) David sinned but God did not condemn him. Moses and Aaron sinned, they were chosen by God’s himself not a church board. Yet Moses and Aaron did not make it into the promise land, and God told us why. “Because of unbelief” now we know that unbelief is sin, but I challenge you to find anyone who are going to tell you that Moses and Aaron will not be in heaven even though the reason God Said they had to die is Sin.
I could go through a whole list from Genesis to Revelation to show that even though we are expected to live a holy life none of us can. That is why God had to send his Son to die, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. The Bible said thou art inexcusable O man. The reason is that what I just stated. God gave the law man could not keep the law. God gave his Son to the world to accomplished what man could not do. (see romans 8:1-16.) This is really bad news for sinners who rejected Jesus Christ because what no man could do for himself God did for us, that we are all without excuse. If it was by anything we can ever do then one man could say I did not have the same opportunity as my neighbor, but now that it’s not by works of righteousness, but rather the free gift of God. What are we going to say to God? (If we could) God placed before us all an open door will we walk away to follow our own way?
The door God placed before you is Jesus Christ.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. John 10:9
I encourage you if you don’t know Jesus make Him the Lord of your life today. (TODAY).
May the grace of our God, smile upon us now and forever.
24Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
Jude 24-25
