HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AMERICA

May God continue to Bless America, and WE THE PEOPLE!

 

JULY 4TH. 1776

 

It doesn't seem like a very long ago in the history of the world. But this is the only country on planet earth to have ever been founded on Jesus Christ, and the furtherance of his gospel message.

 

That God was in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. Jesus gave his very life and bled and died the death that you and I deserved to die. He took our sins upon himself. So that through faith in Him we might become the righteousness of God himself.

 

What’s required of us to receive all that he came to give? Faith in his finished work for us, on the cross, his burial and resurrected life. Because people, none of this is about us. Either what we’ve done, or are not doing. Because we could not keep the law of Moses, and nobody but Jesus ever did. We were in fact law breakers, not law keepers. But we can receive the gift of everlasting life, the forgiveness of sins forever, and His righteousness if we but place saving faith in his finished work for us. Jesus cried out from the cross, “It’s finished”. The price had been paid, for all of man’s sins. The only sin left is the sin of unbelief in Jesus.

 

This is the gospel that saves, through the resurrected Life of Jesus the Christ.

 

1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

 

3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born. (1 Corinthians 15:1-8)

 

So salvation can be yours. You can receive the peace of God that passes all understanding, simply by coming to faith in the faith one, who said; Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you! He will come to live his life, his indestructible life in you. And you will become the very righteousness of God himself. Because:

 

16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:18-21)

 

13 Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool,

14 because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:

 

16 "This is the covenant I will make with them

after that time, says the Lord.

I will put my laws in their hearts,

and I will write them on their minds. 17 Then he adds:

 

“THEIR SINS AND LAWLESS ACTS

I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.

 

18 AND WHERE THESE HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, (NOT WILL BE)

THERE IS NO LONGER ANY SACRIFICE FOR SIN.

 

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

 

26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people. 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:13-31)

 

What are people sinning against? The knowledge of truth just a few verses above. That Jesus HAS taken our sins away. No, we don’t get forgiven, we were born forgiven. Because Jesus died for the sins of the whole world thousands of years before any of us were every born. So that is an accomplished fact. Stop sinning against that truth. Stop asking for what in him you’ve already been given. Faith is the only thing that pleases God, so it’s about time people started acting like they had some faith.

 

So faith say’s THANK YOU JESUS, FOR ALL YOU’VE DONE FOR ME! Is that something you can do? Can you give thanks to Jesus for what we have all received in him, if in fact we truly are in him?

 

Thank you Jesus for your forgiveness and everlasting life, and the gift of your righteousness because I’ve none of my own. And thank you for America, a place where we can worship you without fear of punishment.

 

GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO BELONGS TO HIM, AND GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS AMERICA AND ALL HER PEOPLE THAT LOVE GOD, AND WHO’VE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. AMEN.

Grace and Peace to you from God our Father in the Lord Jesus Christ, FOREVER! Through Faith in Jesus!
