Ephesians 1:7 — Christians are forgiven of all sin past, present, and future. This marvelous truth is proclaimed as Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones gives this compelling and comprehensive exposition in this sermon from Ephesians 1:7 on what is meant by “Through His Blood.” While recognizing the distinction between redemption and the forgiveness of sins, Dr. Lloyd-Jones nevertheless says the forgiveness of sins is the first item of redemption. If the sinner does not have their guilt removed, then sanctification and glorification do not follow. Modern society dislikes talk of guilt, wrath, the cross, and bloody sacrifice. They much more enjoy talk of the happiness and power that Jesus can bring. Dr. Lloyd-Jones thinks this is an incomplete gospel. The fundamental component (or first item) one needs is to be reconciled to God and this comes only when guilt is removed, forgiven, and ultimately covered by the death of Christ. He took the punishment, endured the wrath of God, and bought His people with the price of His life. Although forgiveness is difficult and sorrowful to God, as seen in the death of Christ, it is the only means that leads to absolute restoration with God. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones preaches of complete restoration and present forgiveness found only through the blood of Christ.

Authentic Spirituality, Pt. 5 God’s New Way To Be Human, Eph. 2:11-22 By Louie Marsh, 5-26-2019 To Build an Authentic Spiritual Community I must… 1) REMEMBER the foundation we all stand on. WHAT I WAS before I came to Christ WHY should I remember this? This is the exact opposite of what everyone would tell you today? 11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. Ephesians 2:11-12 (ESV) Separate from Christ Excluded from God’s Family "I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, Isaiah 42:6 (NIV) Israel had forgotten they were called to witness to the world of God – and were judging, calling slurs like uncircumcised, dogs etc. Modern Church?? Without hope and God What CHRIST HAS DONE for me. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:13 (ESV) Through His Blood! When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. John 19:30 (NIV) 2) UNDERSTAND our unity in Christ. Peace is found ONLY IN CHRIST. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility Ephesians 2:14 (ESV) PICTURE OF TEMPLE – SHOW ON CUE! Christ fulfilled the Law AS A WAY TO GOD. 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, Ephesians 2:15 (ESV) . the basic sense cause to be idle or useless, the term always denotes a nonphysical destruction by means of a superior force coming in to replace the force previously in effect, as e.g. light destroys darkness "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Matthew 5:17 (NIV) the basic sense put down, loosen, of buildings w. their stones destroy, demolish, dismantle (MT 27.40); fig. as invalidating an institution such as law or sacrifice do away with, annul, abolish His Purpose – TO MAKE US ONE. 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. Ephesians 2:16-17 (ESV) The Cross is THE GREAT LEVELER. 18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. Ephesians 2:18 (ESV) Here we have one of the greatest accomplishments of the Cross, past forgiveness anyway. All of us come to Christ the same way – or at least we’re supposed too. So there’s no place for pride or arrogance, because we are lost sinners without Christ and saved by Grace through Him. All of us have to establish our Spiritual Basis if we are going to be Authentically Spiritual. We must… B – Believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose again. A – Accept Him as my personal Lord & Savior. S – Switch (repent, turn around) from a self directed life to a Christ directed life. I – Inform others of my decision – confess Christ publicly. S – Submerge myself in Christ through Baptism. 3) ACCEPT our status in God’s New Community. CITIZENS of God’s Kingdom 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints… Ephesians 2:19a (ESV) MEMBERS of God’s Family. and members of the household of God, Ephesians 2:19b (ESV) LIVING PARTS of God’s Temple. 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. Ephesians 2:20-22 (ESV) My Foundation – NEW TESTAMENT Centered on CHRIST Holy = SET APART SPIRIT FILLED
Through His Blood, Jesus has brought us into a new and better Covenant with God, which is the basis for our prayer-life. It includes the gift of praying in tongues, whereby the indwelling Holy Spirit helps us to pray God's perfect will into the earth, by giving us the utterance (Acts 2:4, Rom 8:26-27, 1Cor 14:2).

When Love Bleeds – The Blood of JESUS Redeems and Forgives Me1. The Price Paid to Purchase Our Freedom Was Jesus' Shed BloodEph 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace● Redemption – released secured by the payment of a ransom,deliverance, setting free from every yoke of bondage● A conqueror releasing prisoners; a master ransoming a slave● Redemption through Christ's blood breaks the power of Satan andsets man free from all of his bondagesJn 8:32,36 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set youfree.” 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.Gal 5:1, 7-9 (NIV) It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Standfirm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke ofslavery. (NKJV) 7 You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying thetruth? 8 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. 9 Alittle leaven leavens the whole lump.Matt 12:43-45 (NIV) When an impure spirit comes out of a person, itgoes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then itsays, ‘I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds thehouse unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes andtakes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go inand live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than thefirst. (We have been set free but now we must fill the house LSOF)Col 1:13-14 (NIV) For he has rescued (Delivered) us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.2. Through His Blood, I Am Forgiven2 Cor 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; oldthings have passed away; behold, all things have become new.● The blood of Jesus forgives and restores man to His righteousnessso he can once again stand in the Father's presence, withoutshame or guilt1 Jn 2:1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you maynot sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate (The attorney whostands by our side) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.● Forgiveness is a relationship word – when a child of God sins, hebreaks his fellowship with the Father, not his relationship● Just as a husband and wife do when they say an unkind word, itdestroys the fellowship of the home, but that can be restored byasking for forgiveness● The moment we sin and fellowship with the Father is broken, wemust confess our sins and He will forgive and cleanse us● The devil wants to keep you and me out of prayer with guilt1 Jn 1:7,9 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we havefellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Soncleanses us from all sin. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that wemay obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.1 John 5:14-15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that ifwe ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we knowthat He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have thepetitions that we have asked of Him.Js 5:16 The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power andproduces wonderful results.

HOLY COMMUNION AND PASSOVER You must know that healing belongs to you. There is no need for you to depart from health. You can be healed ... walk in health ... and help others to do the same. In the last podcast we discussed HOW to be healed by THE LAYING ON OF HANDS. In this show I want to teach you HOW to be healed by HOLY COMMUNION (the Lord’s Supper, or Eucharist) and, also, by celebrating PASSOVER. We should expect MIRACLES during the Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) and, also, during Passover. We are celebrating what Messiah did FOR US, and he told us to do this in order to remember Him until he returns. "For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you SHOW the Lord’s death until he comes [again]." [1 Corinthians 11:26] The Holy Bible teaches us in the 1 Corinthians 11:27-32 of the Brit Chadasha (the New Testament, or Covenant) that we are to do two things when we come to the Lord’s Supper: Discern the Lord’s body; and, Examine ourselves. To discern means to see His sacrifice for us as "distinct" from other things. See his body (the bread) beaten - even before the cross - as the Roman soldiers whip (or, flog) him, leaving his back bruised and striped with open wounds. See his head pierced by the crown of thorns, causing blood to flow down his face and chest. And then … see his hands and feet nailed with rough spikes to the wooden cross. All of this for us … and for God! This is why the Pesach bread, the matzo, has pin holes and stripes. At Passover, we are celebrating deliverance from bondage in Egypt … and, also, spiritual bondage; and drink the RED WINE to commemorate the RED BLOOD Messiah shed for us as the Lamb of God, without fault or blemish, who takes away the sin of the world. This is why the matzo bread has pin holes and stripes. The early Messianic believers added this to the Passover. Almost all the early Messianic believers in Yeshua were Jewish. See his blood (the cup) shed for us: sinless blood, having good credit in the bank of Heaven. Not blood which inherited sin from Adam and his race, but blood from a miracle birth from above: as the Spirit of G-d breathed on the womb of a virgin, creating NEW LIFE from God. "In whom we have redemption THROUGH HIS BLOOD, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace." (Brit Chadasha: Ephesians 1:7) “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.” (Torah: Leviticus 17:11) ”So Messiah was once offered to bear the sins of many.” (Brit Chadasha: Hebrew 9:28) Yeshua’s body and mind bore the punishment for our sins … his blood paid the PRICE to redeem, or ransom, us. And God raised him from the dead: Yeshua is ALIVE to save and to heal you! Yes, miracles and healing are available in the Holy Communion and the Passover by discerning the Lord’s body … seeing him and what he did for us. Isaiah Chapter 53 in the Tanach tells us: He bore our sicknesses and diseases. He carried (away) our pains. He was wounded and bruised for our sin. The LORD laid on him the sin of us all. And with his stripes WE ARE HEALED.
