“All the promises of God in Christ are yes and amen.” 2 Corinthians 1:20
The idea of jurisdiction is the governing authority in your life. You either choose to live for self or God. The reality is believers live in a hybrid relationship between God and self.
God is holy and will have nothing to do with your sin. He has examined humanity and determined that all have fallen short of the standards of God.
The Israelites were delivered by God from slavery in Egypt and taken on a forty year journey. In the early months of this journey God took them to a location near Mount Sinai. The presence of God was on Mount Sinai. There was thunder and lightning and the terrifying fear of God. God would strike anyone dead who attempted to go near Mount Sinai.
This illustration is to help you understand the nature of God and how He feels about sin.
God has tried you and found you guilty of sin. Your punishment is estrangement from God and death.
This verdict can only be changed by an appellate court. Jesus presides over this court and has the power to reverse this verdict and restore you to God. He is the final authority between you and God.
The blood of Jesus is your hope for life. He offers you the gift of salvation and the life of Christ.
Most importantly, Jesus wants you to live under His jurisdiction and allow Him to be the governing authority in your life.
If you give Jesus permission, He promises to be your guardian and give you an abundant life filled with His strength, wisdom, joy, and protection.
The reality of the Living Christ comes to those who walk by faith and live in oneness with Jesus anchored to the Holy Spirit.
Jesus is a life changing God!
