You are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may
proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous
light;
1 Peter 2:9
انتم فجنس مختار وكهنوت ملوكي امة مقدسة شعب اقتناء لكي تخبروا
بفضائل الذي دعاكم من الظلمة الى نوره العجيب.
Christ has redeemed us from
the curse of the law. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
1Galatians 3:13, Ephesians 1:7
المسيح افتدانا
من لعنة الناموس الذي فيه لنا الفداء بدمه غفران الخطايا حسب غنى نعمته
To redeem means: to purchase back at a cost.
Jesus went to the cross for the primary purpose of
purchasing us back from a life of slavery to sin, to a life of freedom as
children of God.
Much more then, having now been
justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
By Him everyone who believes is justified from all
things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Romans 5:9,
Acts 13:39
فبالأولى
كثيرا ونحن
متبرّرون الآن
بدمه نخلص
به من
الغضب.
بهذا
يتبرر كل من يؤمن من كل ما لم تقدروا ان تتبرروا منه بناموس موسى.
God justified us, which means He declared us not guilty,
because by the gift of faith we have accepted Christ as Saviour.
Reconciled:
It is now possible for us to have a personal relationship with God. When we
accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, Jesus’ blood makes it possible for God to change our status from being
an enemy of God back into a right relationship with Him. Christ’s blood is the
bridge, the peace offering that reconciles us to God.
By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of
Jesus Christ once for all.
Hebrews 10:10
فَبِهَذِهِ المَشِيئَةِ نَحْنُ مُقَدَّسُونَ،
بِذَبِيْحَةِ جَسَدِ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ مَرَّةً واحِدَةً إلَى الأبَدِ.
Sanctification: Sanctification which is
‘hagiasmos’ in Greek, means “making holy”. It also means “consecration” or
“setting apart” something for a special holy purpose. Sanctification is God’s cleansing and process of
setting us apart unto Himself for His purpose and His will.
When God glorifies His children, he gives
them inward beauty—called holiness. This begins as a process in this life
(sanctification) and culminates when we come into the presence of Christ at our
death or at His second coming. When we go to be with The Lord our
sinful nature will be left behind and we will be like Him, and with Him,
forever.
God’s love Pyramid*

We
reviewed the many ways God loves us depicted in God’s Love Pyramid* shown above
and we saw how God loves us to life. Finally, God shows His love by glorifying
us. Throughout our lives we will wrestle with sin, but we’re promised that the
good work God began in us will be completed.
