KEY SCRIPTURE: John 8:46 KJV” Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?”
In the first part of our key scripture, the Lord asked His audience who could accuse Him of one wrong. He said this to imply that, He speaks only the truth. He is the truth, and men must believe Him. We can totally rely on Him. No one ever found himself at a loss who ever trusted in Jesus. In Him, the promises of God, are not yes and no. Every promise of God in Christ is yes.2 Corinth 1:19,20. Jesus is the surety of the promises of God. Heb 7:22 KJV “By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.” The Lord Jesus guarantees the fulfilment of God’s will to men.
He has become the surety of the new covenant because:
1. He fulfilled all the requirements of the law, which makes your faith in Him a certain ground for acceptance before the father. Rom 10:4 KJV “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”
2. His death and resurrection consummated every legal requirement to acquit us or justify us. Rom 5:9 KJV” Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”
3. The Lord is presently alive to enforce every sacrifice he made for us by giving himself as a substitute for us.
In the light of the above, every promise is not yet to be fulfilled but has already been settled by our Lord Jesus. This is why the scripture said the promises are not yes and no, but rather in Him, they are ALL YES.O what a saviour!!
Dear one, you must totally place your faith in whatever He has said. He has proven to be a worthy saviour.” And we desire that every one of you does shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:” Heb 6:11. This is God’s expectation of you, that you show every diligence to hold on to his word as given to us. This is the truth, and the truth always makes one free. Today as you read or listen to this message the Lord of glory stands beside you, the healer of all sicknesses is just with you, and the solution to every question has opened His arms reader to grant you that needed answer. Rejoice at this hour place that matter before Him. You can speak in His name to the condition if its source is the devil. “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” John 14:13
If it is something threatening your peace, just thank Him for his protection and then rest in Him. Do not worry, or fret anymore. Your case is settled. Rejoice and rest soundly in His name.
