It Is Finished!

                       

Over 2000 years ago a baby was born who is the savior of the world. As He grew He became more and more attuned to doing the will of God.As He became an adult His ministry began in full. He was tempted just like we are, He was laughed at and made fun of, He was abused and beaten, He was totured and and accused. Yet not once did He sin, not once did he give in to the ways of the world. He got angry even at times but, it was a righteous anger, without sin. He was crucified though He was innocent. And He did all this for you and I. Why? Because He loves us  and because He knew that we could not endure these things without Him. He paid the price of sin for our sakes. He died for our sins, , When  He arose from  the grave He conquer death and Hell so that if you and I believe in Him we shall have eternal life.  When He was dieing on the cross, He even asked the Father God to forgive our sins as we knew not what we were doing, and His final words on that cross were IT IS FINISHED!!!! Point blank, He has done the work He has paid the price, now all we have to do is believe.
So then why do we have so much trouble believing? Why do we struggle with things of this world day to day? Why do we struggle with sin and temptations? Why do we allow satan to torment us and abuse us? When all we have to do is laugh in the face of satan and stomp on his head. He was defeated 2000 years ago.It is because we are born into sin. It is because we are conditioned by this world. We are taught by this world at a very early age and unless we hear and obey the word of God we will die in our sin. 
Oh to be like Jesus and be able to stand strong never ever waivering. But, we can be , the Word says we can, When we give our lives to Jesus  and allow Him to live through us  we become like Him.  The bible says that We are in this world but, not of this world, heaven is our home. It also says we can not serve two masters, we have to choose . Are you going to serve God or Satan? As for me I have chosen to serve the only true and living God, Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.
