Was His Pain in Vain? Cause The Lives We Live Are Insane

I do not think Christians today fully realize what happened the day Jesus went to the cross. The world was forever changed; eternal resting places were diverted to Heaven instead of hell. We were made whole again due to His work. We should be forever rejoicing the events that took place, for the spotless Lamb's blood that was shed that day. His pure and bountiful blood washed over us to cover up every sin we have committed and will commit. 

It was much more than just salvation from eternal damnation. He gave us the opportunity to claim our riches not only in Heaven, but those on this planet! His plans call for us to prosper! How are Christians supposed to reach out and supply to the needy what they themselves are lacking? So many people get offended at the success of other Christians. Offense stems from pride, they are jealous of the success of their own brothers and sisters have received from the LORD. We are blessed to be a blessing folks!

Romans 5:17 (Amplified Bible) "For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."

Jesus went to the cross so that we believers could receive God's overflowing unmerited favor, and He put us in right standing with God so that we may reign as kings in life! Kings are taken care of in every fashion! It is time to claim the blessings that the Cross bought for us! Christians are not supposed to be living a down-trodden life! We need to claim the victory! Praise be to Jesus, and glory to God for what He sent His Son to do! We need to be thankful every single day for the victory that He delivered to us, and CLAIM IT!
