Grace Quiz: Jesus is the propitiation of the sins of the whole world by JSalum

Jesus is the propitiation of the sins of the whole world by JSalum

“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 2:1-2 KJV

Propitiation is the Mercy Seat of God. It is the place in God Himself that all men whoever they are and wherever they have done can find mercy. Jesus is the atoning sacrifice who with his atoning blood has appeased Himself not just for all confessed sins, but all sins. There is no sin that He didn't die for. Alleluia! A thousand alleluias!

“And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.”

Hebrews 9:5 KJV

The redemption and forgiveness of sins are eternal! He did at once! 

We need to be conscious of God. Unfortunately there are many "believers" who are sin conscious. They are not free yet. They did not receive yet the forgiveness of sin. They are not able to accept the powerful and unquestionable truth that they need nothing, but only faith in Jesus, only repentance into the amazing Grace of God.  

“Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.” Hebrews 9:12, 14-15 KJV

Preaching the Gospel is not announcing  a list of things to be done right so you can have the right to the benefits of God. No. The Gospel gives knowledge of salvation by the remission of sins through the tender mercy of God! The Gospel is the annunciation of God's total provision through the blood of Jesus. The people need to have knowledge of salvation by the remission of their sins. 

““And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, To give knowledge of salvation to His people By the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God, With which the Dayspring from on high has visited us;”

Luke 1:76-78 NKJV

There is a New Covenant. And the New Covenant depends on Jesus alone. 

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away." Hebrews 8:10-13

There is nothing you and I can do to help God to save us. It is done already! It is completed! There is no way you can explain this, if you do, you became God! I myself simply can't!

When the children of God grasp the understanding of this extravagant Grace they will not live in fear anymore, they will not be manipulated to do anything under fear or constrain by anyone, by anything, but they will be totally free to enjoy their Relationship with their Father. If I was already accepted before when we believed in Him how much He does accept me now! Why doubt about his forgiveness and love? Why doubt we are accepted by him or not? Why let somebody else blame you, accuse you and make you fear that you are less, you are undeserved or still a sinner when God has made you holy and righteous?

 “Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn’t, and doesn’t wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn’t been so weak, we wouldn’t have known what to do anyway. We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him.

Now that we are set right with God by means of this sacrificial death, the consummate blood sacrifice, there is no longer a question of being at odds with God in any way. If, when we were at our worst, we were put on friendly terms with God by the sacrificial death of his Son, now that we’re at our best, just think of how our lives will expand and deepen by means of his resurrection life! Now that we have actually received this amazing friendship with God, we are no longer content to simply say it in plodding prose. We sing and shout our praises to God through Jesus, the Messiah!”

Romans 5:6-11 MSG

My brother, my sister! Rejoice in the Lord! Shout praises to His name. Dance with Him! Let us romance with the Lover of our soul, our Friend Jesus, our caring God!
