CHRIST OUR MEDIATOR AND RECONCILER BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5).
In Romans 6:14, the Bible says, βFor sin shall not have dominion over you…β The problem of sin has been dealt with. In the Old Testament, the prophet Isaiah cried out, βBut your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hearβ (Isaiah 59:2). A GIFT FOR YOU
But itβs not so anymore, because of Christβs redemptive work; Heβs the mediator between God and men. The Bible says God was in Christ, reconciling the world – the world of sinners – unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them. God isnβt holding sin against you, because of Jesus; our sins were laid on Him. No one today should bear the punishment for his or her sins, because Jesus already paid the full penalty for sin. He was judged for our sake (Isaiah 53:5).
Following His victorious sacrifice in our behalf, He initiated and established peace between God and man; He reconciled humanity back to God. Man had become alienated from the life of God through Adamβs disobedience, but Jesus reconciled us with the Father in the body of His flesh through death.
Colossians 1:21 declares, βAnd you, that were sometimes alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight.β The latter part of this scripture clearly reveals the reason for the reconciliation:β β¦to present you holy, blameless and above reproach in his sight.β Now, youβre qualified to live in the presence of God, without inferiority, guilt or condemnation; youβre free from all accusations, being justified by His grace. Blessed be God!
This is the Gospel! The reason youβre holy, blameless, and justified before the Father isnβt because of what you did, or didnβt do; itβs the result of what Jesus did. His death, burial, and resurrection reconciled you to the Father, and brought you into oneness and fellowship with Him. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
Iβm the unveiling of the Fatherβs righteousness, called to show forth His glory and excellence. I walk and live in the light, as He is the light; the light of His Word and His righteousness. Therefore, I reign in this life, with dominion over sickness, disease, poverty, darkness, and the elements of this world. Glory to God!
