YOU'RE NOT IRREDEEMABLE
"This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief." - 1Tim 1:15
You are not beyond His redemption, your sins are not too thick for the blood to make clean, your guilt are not too deep, that His love cannot take away, your past is not so hurting that your future with Him cannot heal, don't write yourself off!
Though I know it may not be possible, but something inside of me after experiencing the awesome mercy of God through the blood of Jesus and obtained by faith; I feel that, if Satan decides to give his life to Christ and repent; I believe God is still faithful and just to forgive him. The devil is not beyond the power of the blood of Jesus.
It doesn't matter what you have done or you are doing, your life is not beyond the redemptive plans of God. Some people have kept themselves in the miry clay of fate, thinking, nothing can be done to save them from themselves, they have come to accept hell as their destination, they have resigned their hope to fate and have decided to just let what will be to be.
I know you have always tried to be a Christain, but somehow you keep finding yourself in that same spot where it seems as if you have left; you said you will stop fornication, but alas your back is laid again in that same sin, and you want to resign to fate. The problem is that you think you can save yourself. When you came out to receive the full salvation of Christ, the Lord Himself has a package for your safety. Don't trouble yourself about that small slip, trust that He who has saved you, will make you completely free.
For some of us who go about bearing the gospel of Jesus, we sometimes, write some people off in our minds, and we sometimes pass by them thinking that nothing can be done to help their state anymore, but within me now, I believe that that murderer can still be saved, the prostitute is not beyond the mercies of God. I strongly believe in Paul's declaration that the worst of sinners can be brought low to the reality of the cross, and also be cleansed by the ever potent blood of Jesus.
It is important for the preacher to know that no one is beyond the grace, it will surely help our faith when we approach the lost, if we understand the power of the gospel, we will not write-off anyone in our minds, we will not neglect the backslider; in fact, the assurance of the effective power of the cross will build our faith and make us bold in addressing the lost.
THE BLOOD IS POTENT
"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace." - Eph 1:7
In case you have shed innocent blood by accident or intentionally, maybe you have had several abortions and you consider yourself a lost cause; I am glad to let you know that the blood of Jesus is very potent to bring about salvation for you. The blood is very potent to redeem you from errors. There is no one living and assured of eternal life whom the blood does not speak for.
It will be needful to remind some people today that, without the shedding of blood, there can be no remission of sins; it is only the blood that is the correct price to settle the scores of your past; in case you are making efforts to correct a past by doing restitution but you neglect the place of the blood of Jesus, you may have not started on the path of redemption at all.
The scripture tells us about the angel of death, and when the blood was sighted on the door post, the angel had to pass over, being an Israelite alone won't bring about an exemption, it was compulsory for the blood to be on the lintel. It is the same for us today; if you don't come to believe in the efficacy of the blood and ask that the blood be effectual in your life, there may not be an exemption yet.
"to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel." - Heb 12:24
Crucified a long time ago, the blood that was shed is still very potent to speak better things for everyone, even the person yet to be born. The life of every flesh is in the blood; if you will allow the blood speak for you through your faith, you will have a new life and experience redemption as it is.
There is no other price of redemption from sins except the blood of Jesus, and do not think that your sin is too big, the blood of Jesus is the most potent of all the instrument of redemption. The blood is the fountain that makes us all clean. The blood can also speak for you and it is available for you also.
A MATTER OF REASONING
"'Come now, and let us reason together,' says the LORD, Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool." - Isaiah 1:18
Don't stay there like that, and while you are coming forward to Jesus, come as you are, you have always tried to appear holy before Him and all your effort always comes to nought everytime you appear; and your weaknesses are always exposed in the light of His presence. This is because we do not possess the power to clean ourselves, He only requires that you come.
Severally, many people have tried to reason their redemptive plan all by themselves but put the Redeemer out of the process of reasoning. You have made plans based on resolutions yet you alone is the consultant, no wonder you return to that point all over again. Jesus is the one whom can help us reason things out properly; He alone can reason out our freedom. Your reasoning failed, because you wanted it to be on your terms only.
Bring forth your strong reasons, that you may be acquitted, don't condemn yourself, it is possible that your analyses are right and you can't see yourself coming back, but can I remind you of that prodigal son who reasoned in his mind about what he wanted to become for his father after returning, getting to his father, it was a different situation altogether - the reasoning of the father surpassed that of the son. He wanted to become a slave, but the father redeemed that son again into sonship.
"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." - Heb 4:16
God does not forgive a man in absentia, I mean if a man would not come forward to the place of reasoning with the Lord, he may never know that he has been forgiven. You can't be a freeborn while you are on exile; a person who wants pardon must make a plea. There is no reason why you must remain in that state of despair - you are not beyond redemption, there is a provision for your redemption.
One of the favour the accusers did to that woman caught in adultery was that, they brought the woman to Jesus, so they can condemn her - but because they had come to the one whose mercies endures, she received an unprecedented mercy and she was saved.
If anyone will come boldly, the scripture says that Jesus will never cast out. If you will come to the Son this day and tell Him why you think you are beyond His grace, you will experience His mercy. Remember, come as you are, don't keep up appearance, just come and let Him by His wisdom reason your guilt our of your life.
MEN WILL SUPPOSE
"Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli" - Luke 3:23
Let the man who seeks redemption know that men may not know immediately that you are not the same anymore, but you cannot blame them, they are not the ones who got redeemed, it is you who should know it more.
You cannot validate your redemptive status by men's reaction to you - that will be very false. Your salvation is meant for you first, before it affects others. It will be wrong for you to expect men to validate your redemption before you start believing in His redemptive work. He that is saved is convinced, and should not need any man to tell him so or otherwise!
It is normal for men to think you are still that same cheat, it is expected for them to think that you are still that slut; but you shouldn't work yourself out on this, you just trust in the redemptive package and soon they will know that something has happened to you. They will realise that their supposition is just wrong.
Though they thought Jesus was the son of Joseph, but they didn't know that He is the Son of the living God. He wasn't offended by this, Jesus just continued to live the life that made people see the true identity; there is indeed no condemnation to them who are in Chris Jesus. Every condemnation is just a false supposition and that shouldn't make you worry a bit.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." - 2Cor 5:17
You don't have to be sorry that some people want to stick with your old self, you can't even do anything about that, than to continue to live in the new. Living the new life of Christ is the only convincing you can do, and if they ask, then you can explain what happened to you. They will suppose but you must impose your new life through the living.
I am excited about my new life, that I don't worry what any man thinks; the new redemptive life, validates the present more than the old..as no one really should be judged by their past. The devil sometimes through people who still live in the past try to remind us of the old man. I usually answer them confidently that, the old man is dead. I am not trying to convince them, I am just stating the obvious with joy. It is left to them to believe it or leave it.
Rehab the prostitute got that new life and she was in the lineage of Jesus, Saul who was the persecutor became the evangelist, then why do you think that you are beyond the redemption of Christ? Dear friend, don't waste time with the devil, they don't know that your redemption is not in their hands, in fact they don't have a say.
Walk in the liberty by which Christ has made you free, and do not again entangle yourself with unnecessary debate over supposition of your old man in comparison to the new.
CONCLUSION:
You are not beyond redemption; the blood is sufficient for you if only you come to Him. Men may suppose, but the freeborn knows better.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
God bless you and I love you
