In the midst of a storm, there is Calm. In the midst of a challenge, there is Victory. In the midst of sickness, there is Healing. In the midst of fear, there is Peace. In the midst of bondage, there is Freedom. In the midst of sorrow, there is Joy. in the midst of sin, there is Grace!
Jesus willingly sacrificed Himself at the cross some two thousand years ago to die on behalf of us. He took our place of sin so that we can have His position of righteousness. He was made sin at the cross so that we can be made the righteousness of God in Christ! At the cross, the divine exchange has taken place and Jesus declared, "It is finished!". The redemptive work is completely complete!
What does it mean to be deemed then? Simply put: Jesus is the Answer to our every issue. First of all, Jesus Christ has made us the righteousness of God in Christ when we accept His gift of salvation. We are redeemed from eternal damnation. We can have the zoe life of God. All our sins are forgiven, past, present and future. The precious blood of Jesus keeps on cleansing us from our sins whither than snow. It is a continual cleansing. We can never fall into sin any more than we can be called Big Mac when we visit McDonalds.
I am not referring to our deed, thought, and behavior. We will never be perfect in these aspects. But we are made perfect as far as the punishment of sin is concerned for Jesus Christ has borne it all at the cross. God will never punish us for our sin anymore and He declared our sins and lawless deeds, He remembers no more! God cannot lie. The bible does not say God will not lie, it tells us God cannot lie!
Rest assured in our salvation by the blood of Jesus. That is the most important redemptive work Christ has accomplished at the cross. With it, comes the rest of the promises in the bible. If God has not withheld Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, to die for us at the cross, what more will He through Christ freely gives us all things to enjoy!
If fighting a terminal disease is the concern, know that without a shadow of doubt, Jesus has already provided the healing. He is Healer Himself. The bible tells us whosoever came to Jesus was healed. It didn't say we have to look to our faith to be healed. The bible says by His stripe, we are already made whole. In fact, when we look at Jesus, faith becomes unconscious. To help us further, Jesus instituted the Holy Communion. The more we partake of the Holy Communion, we more we are been made whole, complete.
If dealing with financial lack is the challenge, know that at the cross Jesus was made poor that we through His poverty shall me made rich. The rich in the context is financial prosperity. The bible says we are to be the head and not the tail, we are to lend and borrow. How then can be the head and the lender if we are dead broke. Jesus wants to provide us with more than enough for us to be a blessing around our loved ones. He wants us to prosper and be in good health as our soul prospers.
If mending a relationship is the issue, know that Jesus at the cross restored a son to His mother. Jesus wants to be the center of our relationship. In a marriage setting, Jesus is the third party to hold the marriage in a three cords strand which is unbreakable. He loves to see us at peace with our loved ones and those around us. He even tells us to love our enemy. That's the Jesus in the bible.
Regardless of the need we may have, look to Jesus for He is the Answer to our every need. He is a practical God. He may give us the wisdom to get out of certain predicament. He may put us at the right place and at the right time with the right people. He may give us an idea to get us out of debt. He may show us how to live life healthier. Whatever the case, the Holy Spirit will guide and lead us to a life of victorious living for we are called to reign in this life! Hallelujah!
