TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - APRIL 27, 2022
Wednesday, April 27, 2022 at 10:43AM Of Blood and Water
Today is April 27, 2022
Welcome to your mid-week!
Hebrews 10:14 tells us that "...by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy."
This is what salvation is. It is both God's work for us on the cross, and God's work in us via the Holy Spirit. It is both what was done and what is currently taking place. We can simplify this to the work of the blood (Jesus) and the work of the water (the Holy Spirit).
Without the blood, our Christian life would be motivated by fear. It would prioritize being busy over being at peace; work over stillness with our maker.
Without the water, our Christian life would become stagnant and apathetic. It would prioritize the needs of ourselves over the needs of others.
Both of these are not what it means to be a Christian.
The bible makes it clear that God's loves for you is secure. At the same time the bible tells us that if we really knew of His love, we would love others in the same way.
And so, let us strive to worship and praise the one who loves us, all the while being sensitive to his Spirit as he molds us to fulfill his good purposes.
God's blessings upon you as you meditate with both concepts - of blood and water - and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
