A BLESSED SAINT

A BLESSED SAINT
By: Bishop Albert Gran

Romans 5:9
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

SAVED FROM WRATH

So precious to hear believers in this present time are declared SAVED FROM WRATH through him. Being saved from wrath emancipates freedom from the future reality what might come after the closing of the dispensation of grace. Dispensation of grace denotes a foretold plan of God how a blessed saint can be delivered from the terror and doomed future event when God shall pour out His wrath. Your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and his redemption pays the blissful price how wonderful future lies ahead of you, the saint and citizen of God in His heavenly places.

When you worry about tomorrow just be reminded that because of our Lord, he sets you free from pain and agony in the future wrath to come. Imagine how unbelievers suffer during this time. You can contemplate if you take yourself what shall likely happen when they will be saddened and being brought so much sacrifices due to pain as a consequence of His wrath. You can greatly appreciate God upon saying “Out of great masses of lost sinners, I was once chosen to enjoy abundant life” with God.

BEING RECONCILED

This is another precious truth to remind us all what nature of God as loving, merciful and filled with forgiveness in this dispensation of grace. This is opposite to what others viewed God today as a punisher, executor of judgment and all the more a legalist. It is sweet to hear this story in our recent time that God has already forgiven you and being reconciled. Your reconciliation is a true identity as he promised He no longer declares at
war or against you. It’s the primary reason why CHRIST IS IN YOU THE HOPE OF GLORY. Today’s saints were agents of reconciliation as being ambassadors of Christ. The truth of reconciliation in you is a resemblance of the reality how Christ forgave us all and declared as being reconciled. The death of Christ caused our reconciliation knowing He’s the mediator between God and men reconciling the gap of sin which destroys our nature hence making us His enemies. He died for the purpose of getting rid this great gap called SIN and it’s only through faith in His death which made today’s saints declared as being reconciled before God.

JOY IN GOD

A person might be happy but not at all joyful. Joy in God is the reality to you being a saint of God when knowing what blessed life you had after knowing these spiritual blessings through Christ. As now that we received atonement to mean Christ washed away all our sins through His blood, what life governed in us is the joy or inner feeling brought by your understanding of the riches and fullness of God’s mystery in this dispensation of grace. Joy in God keeps every saint of God being motivated when temptation and troubles come. This position to rejoice evermore signifies your victorious walk as you endure hardness as a soldier of Christ. The battle against ungodliness can be resolved when a saint remembers what joy and fellowship He had all through the days in life and that’s how we were declared always triumphant in Christ.

After knowing all these precious truths what else do you want more from God?

Grace and peace.
