Hebrews 1:3 [Jesus\, God's Son] is the refl ection of God's glory and the exact likeness of His being\, and He holds e verything together by His powerful word. After He had provided a cleansing from sins\, He sat down at the right hand of the Highest Majesty.
\nEvery truth I learn must be applied by faith and appropriated into my per
sonal life
\nor else it will mean nothing whatsoever.
If I am to go on with God on this path of life and walk with Jesus in victory and power I will find enough quiet time to reflect on what He has said to me\ , thank Him for the truth I have received\, and lay claim for myself perso nally what God in Jesus Christ has done for those who believe.
\nJes us sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high - the victory was won . When the world was breaking into pieces under the wrath and curse of God \, because of the fall of man\, the Son of God\, undertaking the work of r edemption\, sustained it by His almighty power and goodness\, the glory of His grace. Nothing can be added to the finished work of salvation.
\nHebrews 10:12 When this Priest had offered for all time one Sacrifice fo r sins\, \"He sat down at the right hand of God.\"
\nMajesty Rest
\nThe rest of the Savior is the rest of assurance and satisfaction tha t the work has been completed\; all that needed to be done for the salvati on of every soul has been accomplished\, and therefore\, \"He sat down.\"
\nSeek an interest in this Sacrifice by faith and the seal of it to our souls\, by the sanctification of the Spirit to obedience\, so that the \"law\" is written in our hearts\, we may know that we are justified and that God will not remember our sins anymore.
\nRomans 8:1 Therefore\ , there is now no condemnation for those who are in union with the Messiah Jesus.
\nBelieve! The Lord may chasten believers but will not be co ndemned by the world. By their union with Jesus Christ through faith\, the y are secured.
\nEphesians 2:6-8 raised us with Him\, and seated us with Him in the heavenly realm in the messiah Jesus\, so that in the comin g ages He might display the limitless riches of His grace that comes to us through His kindness in the Messiah Jesus.
\nThe fruit of victory f or Christ is rest.
\nLearn to rest in His strength so that He may mo ld you until you learn to let the storms of trials and tribulations subsid e into the rest of Jesus. One at rest lives above the storm\, discerns God 's wisdom\, trusts God's loving heart\, and can see God's unfolding plan i n each conflict. Keep silent while you wait on the Word of God. Constantly live in touch with the throne. Rest in Jesus. Deep in your heart\, this p lace of rest is a peace that no storm and no sorrow can ever disturb\, no matter how unexpected or miserable and hard to bear.
\nHow can this
rest be mine?
\nForgiveness. Be assured that you are forgiven. There
is no need to work toward the Cross to obtain forgiveness because Jesus ha
s done everything to save you. \"It is finished!\" He cried\, \"Who shall
lay anything to the charge of God's elect (Romans 8:33).
Victory. Child of God\, begin to see that Jesus has done everything\, that Satan is a conquered enemy and find the rest of victory. The devil cannot touch th e life of the child of God who is resting in Jesus\, for his life is hidde n with Christ in God.
\nCalm - when our will is surrendered to God\, and all its action flows from the power plant of God's will\, disappointm ent becomes His appointment\, and life is no longer a ceaseless struggle t o get Him to do something that we think He ought to do.
\nPsalm 37:3 -4 Trust in the Lord and do good. Dwell in the land and feed on faithfulne ss. Delight yourself in the Lord\, and He will give you the desires of you r heart.
