DEVOTION 13. Saturday – The Lordship of Christ (6) – Through the miracle of Salvation
The Lordship of Christ is demonstrated through the gift of Salvation made available to all nations, tribes & tongues.
Only someone that knows their mandate, superior position & authority can present something on a global scale & platform. Therefore, only God can – in His Sovereignty, offer salvation to the whole world!
LET US CONSIDER tonight ‘how much’ Grace, Power & Benevolence of God it took to get us into the kingdom! And how much it takes to prepare us for His Kingdom. How Great a King & Lord of all He is!
Christ made redemption available to all
Joh 1:12-13
(12) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: (13) who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Will it be obtained by all? No
Act 8:20-22
(20) But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!
(21) You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God. (22) Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Joh 3:27
(27) John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
Joh 6:44
(44) No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Joh 3:5, 36
(5) Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. (36) He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
Rom 8:30
Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
The Trinity God, all Three Persons are involved in Redeeming us back to the heart of the Father.
How do we enter the Kingdom?
Rom 5:9
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
1Co 6:11
And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Prayer:
Lord, in allowing ourselves to reset our foundational stance we are left stunned to think of such immense grace that I can be called ‘child’ of the Most High God. That You have called & drawn me back to You.
A moment of utter humility grant us now to bend our knees & thank you from our hearts that we have received the gift of salvation & may trust fully in Your Holy Spirit to prepare us to enter Your kingdom.
Oh, How we love You, Lord of all!
Amen
