“CONDITIONS FOR INNER TRANSFORMATION”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“Come now,” says Adonai, “let’s talk this over together. Even if your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow; even if they are red as crimson, they will be like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land……….” (Isaiah 1:18-20)
Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.
If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
CONDITIONS FOR INNER TRANSFORMATION
The depravity of man makes it necessary for inner transformation. The world is in darkness because it is controlled by Satan, the prince of this world. Man is lost in sin and controlled by the devil who has taken hold of his spirit and mind at will.
Fellowship with God Almighty is therefore impossible without cleansing from sin.
The Bible rightly declares that all have sinned and come short of God’s glory. The wages of sin is death, but righteousness and transformation of life is the free gift of God.
For the natural person to have access to heaven, he must acknowledge his sinful nature, (Psalm 51:3; 51:5 / Romans 3:10) and more so, he must desire to be cleansed.
There is forgiveness from the Lord for the penitent (1 John 1:9 / Proverbs 28:13).
It is the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ that cleanses us from all sins and filthiness of life (1 John 1:7 / John 3:16). These steps lead to life transformation (Colossians 1:13-14) which is the beginning of life journey of the heaven bound believers.
We are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace, His unmerited favour and mercy, through the redemption which is provided in Christ Jesus.
God, Adonai Yahweh put forward Jesus, His begotten Son before the eyes of all as a mercy seat and propitiation by His blood the cleansing and life-giving sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation, to be received through faith.
This was to show God’s righteousness, because in His divine forbearance, He had passed over and ignored our former sins without punishment but called all of us to repentance.
“REPENT NOW FOR TIME WAITS FOR NOBODY!”
Somebody shout, “THANK YOU LORD!”
Shalom and good morning.
