The Cross: The Mystery of Reconciliation, Forgiveness and Redemption
2021 January 3rd Streaming
Happy New Year! We thank our Father for His love and grace and the time He provided for us in fellowship this past year of 2020. I can’t express the joy and blessing it’s been! But as Paul has said, “forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to things which are ahead. I press toward the mark for the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” The Father will continue pressing us further into the process of Sonship in 2021. Our days, weeks and months are numbered, but our time in learning spiritual Sonship is without measure. Again as Paul says, “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is].” I thank each of you for your prayers and love to the fellowship! Many have been strengthened and encouraged because of who you are in Christ as the spiritual Son of God! Man’s deepest need is spiritual identity, and we are learning to live and walk as the spiritual Sons we were birthed by God to be to Him. Amen! In 2021 the process of Sonship will continue to conform each of us. As you’re able to receive of course…

The word reconciliation is used all the time by almost everyone. But what does it mean? Some advocate a person is reconciled to God when they are saved or born-again. While others declare, a person is reconciled when they repent and ask God to forgive their sin. And yet for others, reconciliation takes place when Christ died on the cross. But this reconciliation does not actually become theirs until a person hears the gospel and responds in faith. All of these ideas have been taught, preached, believed and misunderstood for far too long! Let’s hear what the Spirit is saying concerning this mystery of reconciliation. So, let’s talk about it…
