John 19:30 “So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, ‘It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.”
INTRODUCTION: This indicated that redemption was accomplished, even though He had not gone through everything that would be done, in His mind and the mind of the Father redemption was accomplished.
All that redemption provided was available. He would never die for sin again! He would never take stripes on His back for our healing again! Etc. (Romans 4:17 “As it is written ‘I have made you a father of many nations’ in the presence of Him whom he believed – God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.”)
What I am about to say is NOT a formula but the result of a relationship.
KNOW IT
To enter what Jesus has provided for us we must first know about it. Romans 10:14, “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?”
Romans 10:17 “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
This applies to being born again, healed, filled with the Spirit and everything God has provided for us. There may be exceptions when God just does something and we find out about it later, but usually, it follows this path.
BELIEVE IT
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”
PROCLAIM IT
Romans 10:9-10 “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.”
Numerous passages in Scripture indicate the power of our words. For example: the book of Proverbs alone has 63 verses that indicate this. One well-known passage, Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
