“For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near.” Heb. 10:1
As I think about the power of the blood of Jesus and how it provides perfect cleansing for us, I can’t help but worship and praise Him with continual gratitude.
PERFECT CLEANSING
Make no mistake about it. Your own performance (no matter how good it might be) will never improve the fantastic status you already have in Christ.
“And what God wants is for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time.” Heb. 10:10 NLT
The blood of Jesus makes you holy, righteous… perfectly cleansed.
If you are struggling with guilt and condemnation even after you repented, you must hear the Gospel (the Good News) once again.
Yes! You have to repent from your sins. Yes, you have to live a holy life. But based on the work of the cross and the sacrifice of Jesus.
REMEMBER: You are a NEW COVENANT believer. You are not under the Old Covenant. It is highly important you inform your mind and emotions about this…
ARE YOU A SINNER OR A SAINT?
“So also Jesus suffered and died outside the city gates in order to make his people holy by shedding his own blood.” Heb. 13:12 NLT
Are you a sinner or a saint? Are you a sinner that struggles to love God or a lover of God who struggles with sin? Huge difference! Religion teaches the first. The Gospel teaches the second.
The word holy comes from the Greek ‘hagiazō’ which means “to make holy, consecrate, sanctify”. This is why Jesus died… to make you holy, acceptable, blameless and righteous.
If you have been born again, this is your reality today.
This powerful truth is not based on your performance but on Christ’s. It’s not that you will be holy one day in the future (when you finally grow up and stop disappointing God), no, you are holy now, even in your weakness, because of what Jesus did on the cross.
Please get this: We will never measure up to God’s perfect standard. That’s why we need JESUS.
THE KEY TO LIVING A GUILT-FREE CHRISTIAN LIFE
Your spirit inside is as holy as it will ever be, it’s your mind that needs renewing. And what about your body? Well, your body always follows your mind.
You are a new creation now. You are holy, chosen and greatly beloved (Col. 3:12).
The essence of living a victorious life over sin depends on understanding the nature of the new man. What or Who is the New Man? The new man is who you really are — God’s master piece; His new creation.
Closing Thought: The key to the Christian life is found in the renewing of your mind (Rom. 12:1-2). You have to look into the mirror of the word of God to discover who you really are (your true identity). Then, you have to believe it and start defining yourself according to what God says you are in Christ.
Much Blessings

this is a beautiful and reassuring piece that my struggle to live thechristian life is on the right track.
thank you
Hello Sir,
God bless you. I read your Kingdom Economics e-Seminar sometimes ago. I was really blessed and thought I could share the blessing with my Church this month of May. I am unable to get the e-seminar online anymore.
I am a Pastor of a local Church in Nigeria, a banker and an Information Technology trainner. I want to focus on the Church and the IT world and leave Banking sometimes very soon – I covet your prayers.
ok so does that mean we don’t strive for perfection? yes we will fail and thats when we rest in the fact that our position in Christ is perfect. But my question is this: do we not strive for perfection? Philippians 3 gives a balance to this topic. Paul himself did strive for perfection.
thanx sooooooo much may God use you contiunualy

sins are everyone’s problem none of them are strile of it. But praise the Lord, He has sent His only begotten Son to sacrifice Himself as a redeemer, that we are saved! We are redeemed by His blood, not our good deeds! Thaks God for Jesus Christ. Thanks too for Pablo and his divine wisdom so that we can understand God’s love for us. Bless brother!
Thanks man of God for releasing to us such a wonderfull revelation from the Father. My heart melts before my creator.

I appreciate God so much for your life coz that’s another strategy of preaching the word of life and enlightening the children of more in the word.
Truely, as a christian we need the word of God daily for our minds to be renewed coz that’s our spirtual food for our growth.

the word remains the most important thing in life and its just great seeing you share it with others. thanks
It is what we really need to hear now .A very enlightening distinction to clear our doubts in the areas that the enemy would have us bound with guilt.
Shalom!
Thank you for your continuous effort to bring people closer to Christ. You are doing just what people call it ‘awesome’ and ‘great’. Praise God for your ministry.

Grace and peace!
This is just the word God has been putting in my heart the last weeks, but said in another way, what is great!
I feel this as one more confirmation that this word came right from His heart.
Thank God for it!
PS.: I got to know you/your site through a version of one of your songs. The ministry is Livres para Adorar, from Brazil, the name of the song, in portuguese is Não há outro igual (something like: There’s no one like you, in English). I would like to know where I can find the name and the lyrics from this song. Thank you and God bless!
