God keeps His covenant

God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son to die for the world that whosoever believes His son shall be saved and have live more abundantly.

Jesus died at the cross for the divine exchange of taking our place of sin so that we can take His place of righteousness at the right hand of Almighty God, our Abba Father.

Also, as a result of the divine exchange at the cross, we are been drafted into the kingdom of God and hence sons and daughters of God. As Christ is, so are we in this world. Expect to live life abundantly for our God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

But why must Jesus be crucified at the cross?

It was because of the covenant God cut with Abraham. In that covenant, Abraham didn't walk across the blood line of the slaughtered animals but it was Jesus and God the Father who walked across the blood line in the opposite direction. As such, because of our sin, Jesus had to come as a human being to take the punishment of God at the cross on our behalf!

It is the grace of God that Jesus is a willing covenantal keeper. For at the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus had a choice to go back to the Heavenly Father but chose to fulfill His Father's will to sacrifice Himself on our behalf.

And because of Jesus' finished work at the cross. We can expect good to happen to us for Jesus had taken all the bad upon Himself at the cross.

He had redeemed us from the curse of the law and also to bless us with every spiritual blessing to enjoy. Today, we can live the abundant life because Jesus had made us the righteousness of God in Him!

Proclaim with confidence all the promises in the bible are yes and amen and expect good things to happen in our lives. Hallelujah!
