ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Scripture Reference : Hebrews 9:11-26

I grew up in a loving family, yet the reward based system was commonly used; that is, if you are good, you will be dearly loved and pampered, otherwise, you got to continue to work harder to feel that love. Slowly, I grow to learn that we have to work hard to be loved.

It all didn't make sense when I came to accept Jesus in my heart. It was hard to grasp the fact that Jesus has died for my sins ONCE AND FOR ALL, and that I do not have to work for this eternal life that God has given me. Even until now, I have to make the choice to believe in God's word and accept HIS love in my heart on a daily basis.

Today the Lord reminds us of the work of the cross,

"For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance -
now that he has died as a ransom
to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant."
Hebrews 8:15

Dear sisters, search deep in your hearts, are you still struggling to believe that Jesus died for our sins once and for all so that you may draw closer to him? Do you still find yourself seeking the approval of God and men through your own strength and works? Are you entangled in your sins and too focused on the weaknesses instead of the power of the work Jesus has done on the cross?

Today, I pray that the truth of God will set you free daily; that as you meditate on the word, you will make the choice to believe that you are a dearly loved child of God. As you begin to take your rightful place as the daughter of the King of kings, give to Jesus all your weaknesses and sins, and believe that these has been nailed on the cross. Pray for strength to overcome so that you may truly shine as the Princesses of the King of kings!

As we start the Chinese New Year, let's make it a point to start on the right note - To embrace the love of Christ by gaining a revelation of the work Jesus has done on the cross for you and me...
