EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[february 28th 2010]


+       If one "truly" realized [gained a revelation of] the great price that My Dear Son paid for them at the Cross [and the "magnitude" of what He accomplished there on their behalf] they would no longer seek to live for "themselves" to ANY degree - and they would no longer continue to maintain [through fear and pride] ANY form of an "unworthiness-consciousness" [sin-consciousness]!

"sin-consciousness" - any belief or mind-set that constitutes one "believing" that that which they have actually been redeemed from in Christ is still to be in effect in their life [Romans 8:1-2 KJV];

"righteousness-consciousness" - a continual awareness [through revelation] of who we "actually" are in Christ [2 Corinthians 5:17];

        ...."And He [Jesus] died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer to and for themselves, but to and for Him Who died and was raised again for their sake".... 2 Corinthians 5:15 The Amplified Translation

        ...."But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption".... 1 Corinthians 1:30 NASB

        ...."You must know (recognize) that you were redeemed (ransomed) from the useless (fruitless) way of living inherited by tradition from [your] forefathers, not with corruptible things [such as] silver and gold, But [you were purchased] with the precious blood of Christ (the Messiah), like that of a [sacrificial] lamb without blemish or spot".... 1 Peter 1:18-19 The Amplified Translation

        ...."For even to this were you called [it is inseparable from your vocation]. For Christ also suffered for you, leaving you [His personal] example, so that you should follow in His footsteps. He was guilty of no sin, neither was deceit (guile) ever found on His lips. [Isa. 53:9.] When He was reviled and insulted, He did not revile or offer insult in return; [when] He was abused and suffered, He made no threats [of vengeance]; but he trusted [Himself and everything] to Him Who judges fairly. He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed".... 1 Peter 2:21-24 The Amplified Translation
