Your benefits in Christ

“Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.” Psalm 68:19(KJV)  

I want you to know, and be conscious of this reality that, you are daily loaded with benefits as a child of God. It is important you know that you are daily loaded with benefits like; forgiveness, healing, deliverance, soundness in your mind, in your spirit and in your body, preservation, safety, prosperity, etc. with a fresh newness everyday.

Notice what the Prophet Jeremiah says in Lamentations 3:21-23(ESV), “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” God's benefits to us are new every morning, so great is His faithfulness to us.

For instance, lets look at the benefit of forgiveness we have from God. Do you know that when God forgives, He forgives eternally? He does not remember all those sins anymore because of the blood of Jesus. The Bible says in Colossians 1:14, “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:”

Hebrews 9:12 says, 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. This is why the Bible says in Psalm 86:5, “For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.”

Therefore, knowing that God is ready to forgive you of your sins, because of the sacrifice of Jesus, I want you to act on what 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

INSTRUCTION
If you are living in unconfessed sin in any area of your life, today, I encourage you to let it go by confessing it, let go of your guilt, and receive forgiveness from God.

For further study read:
Psalm 32:5, Psalm 130:4, Proverbs 28:13, Acts 13:38, Acts 26:18, 1 John 1:7, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Colossians 1:14, Hebrews 9:12-15.

DOING THE WORD
Don't judge yourself by your past anymore, because the blood of Jesus has cleansed you from all sin.
