Leigh's Spiritual Garden: Saved Because of His Resurrection

By Leigh Moran

"Now all praise to God for his wonderful kindness to
 us and his favor that he has poured out upon us, because we belong to his
 dearly loved Son. So overflowing is his kindness toward us that he took
 away all our sins through the blood of his Son, by whom we are saved; and he
has showered down upon us the richness of his grace-for how well he understands us and knows what
 is best for us at all times." Ephesians 1: 6-8

  WE ARE SAVED BECAUSE OF HIS RESURRECTION

 
We waited in anticipation for the glorious celebration of the
 resurrection of the Christ. AND, we waited with trepidation in
  our body, mind, and soul.
 
The hymn, "Were You There When They Crucified My
 Lord," (African-American Spiritual, public domain) sits heavy within my
 heart. Would you have wanted to have been there when
 they crucified our Lord? Would not it, also, caused
 you to tremble, tremble, tremble? To see our Lord
 nailed to a tree, would not it have caused your
 whole being to sob uncontrollably? To see our Lord
 suffer for three long hours, could you have endured
 what our Lord endured, I think not. When they laid
 Him in the tomb, would you not have grieved from the
 bottom of your soul, knowing your life is now in
 chaos?

 When we allowed ourselves to transgress back to this
 time as our Lord was arrested, judged and crucified, what did you think?
   Did you just pass this time as though nothing different had happened? Was this just a time of ordinary thoughts, actions, and work?
 
 Just because the Easter Season has passed, does not mean we forget. We must ever be mindful of the sacrifice that was given for us.
I pray that you will join me in remembering why Christ was born, lived and was crucified by referring to the following scriptures throughout the rest of the year: 

"Romans 3:24                We are declared  not guilty" of sin.

Romans 8:1                   No condemnation awaits us.
  
Romans 8:2                   We are free from the vicious circle of sin and death.
 
1 Corinthians 1:2            We are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
 
2 Corinthians 15:22         We will rise again.

 2 Corinthians 3:17           We are free from trying to be good enough.  
  
2 Corinthians 5:17           We are brand new people inside.

 2 Corinthians 5:21           We are full of God's goodness.

 Galatians 3:28                We are one in Christ with all other believers.
 
Ephesians 1:3                 We are blessed with every spiritual blessing in heaven.
 
Ephesians 1:5-6              We belong to Christ.

Ephesians 1:7                 Our sins are taken away and we are forgiven.
 
Ephesians 1:10, 11          We will live with Christ forever; we are gifts to God.

 Ephesians 1:13               We are maked as belonging to God by the Holy Spirit.

 Ephesians 2:6                 We have been lifted from the grave to sit with Christ in glory.
 
Ephesians 2:10               We have been given new lives.
 
Ephesians 2:13               We have been brought near to God.
 
Colossians 2:11              We are set free from our evil desires.
 
2 Timothy 2:1                We will have eternal glory." (Taken from a list on page 1807 of the Life Application Bible)
 
Wow! what a list, can you now accept Jesus Christ as your Savior? After you 
read the above verses of scriptures and pray upon asking Jesus to come into 
your hearts, I am sure you will feel His Holy Presence.
 Even if you do not attend a church, remember, the
 Holy Spirit is with you.

 AND behold, if you only believe in the birth, death
 and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, repent of your sins and ask His
 forgiveness, and walk the new path with Him, you are saved.
 
May you walk the rest of this year with true belief in God, Jesus 
and the Holy Spirit, for then you are His and you are saved.
 
God's blessings be with you and your loved ones.
 
Love and
I remain His humble servant,
