We read in Resurrection Proof of the perpetual witness that Father God implants in the heart of every New Born Child of His.
The Inner Witness Confirms that The LORD Jesus Christ is alive today, continuing His ministry through born again believers.
This evidence of Christ’s resurrection gives believers invincible confidence in the Living Word of God: To follow Him, and do His bidding. It’s what we were saved for, and what we live for. There’s no other reason for us to remain on Earth, until He appears in the Air to take us home to be with Him forever in Glory.
A powerful consequence of this inner certainty that God’s Son is alive in us is that it proves everything He said, and did, was Father’s divine will, word, and absolute truth in action.
That must be so because, if Jesus of Nazareth had sinned once in his brief life on Earth, He would have remained in His tomb, a dead sinner.
Christ Has Fixed Your Sin Problem
Therefore, it follows that, since Christ was crucified bearing our; sin, guilt, and condemnation, and has risen from the dead, we rest assured that our sin was dealt with once and for all on the Cross of Christ, never again to be accounted in divine judgment against the born again believer.
So we rejoice that Christ’s resurrection proves; our sins have been put away, that He Bore Our Diseases and Infirmities so we don’t need to bear them, nor fear that our judgment will include sin.
The believers’ judgment is for rewards: Not for sin.
Embrace that Gospel truth, and rest in God’s peace: He wants you to walk with Him free from anxiety, and without sin-consciousness.
Instead, learn to become righteousness-conscious through the Faith of Christ, and The Blood Covenant relationship with Him.
Circumcised in Christ
The Resurrection of Christ proves your Sins, Guilt and All Condemnation were Nailed to the Cross.
That is why the Holy Ghost describes believers as being circumcised in Christ: Their sinful flesh nature has been spiritually excised by the circumcision of Christ, here’s the scripture, Col. 2:9-15 KJV;
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
We Have Been Circumcised by Faith in Christ
Under the Jewish Law, parents were commanded to physically circumcise male babies on the eighth day of birth, as a symbolic foreshadowing of the real spiritual circumcision under the New Covenant of faith in the Sacrifice of God’s Only Begotten Son.
Mankind fell under the curse of sin through Adam’s rebellion, and has been redeemed from the consequences of our ancestor’s sin, by faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of The LORD Jesus Christ.
Father God judged the sin of mankind in Christ: God’s own Son bore the divine judgment of our sins to redeem us from all condemnation and guilt, if we believe on Christ Jesus, and follow Him as LORD.
Your Redemption Is Finished
God’s Son died for you whether you believe it or not.
Almighty God, your Creator has redeemed you, whether you believe it or not.
These are immutable facts, unchangeable absolute truth, sealed in The Precious Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ.
Heaven and Hell acknowledge Christ’s redemption of you is complete.
But that redemption will be of no effect until you turn from unbelief and receive Christ as LORD in the core of your heart.
Faith Covenant From First to Last
You see it is a faith Covenant in His Blood: God’s Blood Covenant, in which we are invited to participate.
Believe on Him and you will begin to enjoy the benefits of your Blood-bought redemption.
Deny Him and You will Be Denied
Refuse to turn from unbelief, and you will continue under the condemnation of your sins, and the accumulated burden of our ancestors’ sins, and then face eternal judgment before The LORD Jesus Christ when you perish from this world.
For His Name’s Sake
Those of us who have received Christ in spirit and in truth have His Spirit in our hearts reverberating as we read His written word, reminding us constantly that our sins have been forgiven us for His Name’s sake, 1 Jn. 2:12 KJV;
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
God With Us
God’s Grace, Mercy and Peace are our constant companions in this mortal walk, 2 Jn. 3 KJV;
Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Salvation Includes Perfect Health
Because our sins, diseases and infirmities were borne by Christ at Calvary, we know we have been healed, just as promised through the Prophet Isaiah (Esaias), and exemplified by Christ healing every sick person who received Him, Mt. 8:16-17 KJV;
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
As prophesied seven centuries beforehand by Isaiah Is. 53:4-6 KJV;
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
