For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believed that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. – Romans 3:25(NLT)
MADE RIGHT BY CHRIST’S BLOOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
How can man resist’s his natural tendency to be wicked?
Why do we usually want to do what is restricted?
Is it doing good works that makes one overcome evil?
Or is it fighting and arguing openly with the devil?
God sent Jesus as a sacrifice for our sins and transgressions
His blood erased our offenses and brought us close to salvation
People are made right with God when we believe in Christ’s blood
Why don’t you turn away from sin, obey and seek only God?
________________________________________
In the beginning, Adam and Eve had everything they ever wanted. Their life was very easy. They didn’t have to work hard. God provided everything that they could ever want or imagine. They were given all the animals to dominate and were provided trees and plants to get their nourishment. When they disobeyed God’s prohibition with the tree of good and evil, their lives changed. They became impure and guilt and shame began to fill their hearts. We all inherited that shame, guilt and impurity.
The bible tells us that we can only be made right by the blood of Jesus because his sacrifice on the cross was the perfect example of unconditional love.
PRAYER
Lord, let me learn to “let go” of shame and guilt.
REFLECTION
How has Christ’s blood cleansed you of shame and guilt?

For by one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.
–Hebrews 10:14(NLT)
TRUE PERFECTION
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you find yourself wanting to be perfect always?
Do you continuously want to show off your best?
True perfection comes only from the greatest sacrifice
It is through Christ’s death that we receive our prize.
We were made perfect by his blood on the cross
It cleansed us of our sins and brought back the lost
True perfection is manifested in following Christ
It is the only way we can be perfect and have new life.
________________________________________
Being a perfectionist can sometimes be a blessing and a curse. The world views perfection very differently from God’s point of view. We are bombarded with so much ideas of being perfect through media. Sometimes, the standard of the world becomes very cruel to someone who doesn’t actually exhibit visual perfection. I used to be a perfectionist and it did me some good but it caused more harm in my relationships than good. I became very demanding and judgmental when others couldn’t live up to my expectations. I was trivial because all I cared was the details and not the real essence of someone or something.
The bible tells us that there is only one kind of perfection that we need to be concerned about. It is perfecting ourselves by following the example that Christ left for us to emulate.
PRAYER
Lord, teach me to be perfect in love.
REFLECTION
How can you contribute in perfecting this world according to God’s truth?

He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his
Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us along with all wisdom and understanding. – Ephesians 1:7-8 (NLT)
WHAT CHRIST’S BLOOD DID
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you were still sinful, Christ died so you can be free
Jesus wants you to return to God so you can be able to see
The Father showered us with kindness by giving us his only Son
He forgave and continually pursues us with his unconditional love.
That is what the blood of Christ did in your life
He shone in your darkness and continue to bring light
His blood will defeat whatever evil schemes the enemy planned
Be faithful to him, seek him relentlessly and you’ll be included in his clan.
________________________________________
There are some Christians who have forgotten the essence of their faith. It is the cross and the blood of Christ that is the reason why we are all promised eternal life in heaven. Without the blood, we will not be saved. If you are all believers of God, you will know the power of the blood of Christ. The blood heals, frees, and gives us victory over sin and all the evil tactics of the devil.
The bible talks about how rich in kindness and grace God is which is manifested in Christ’s blood.
PRAYER
Lord, remind me always how powerful your blood is over sin.
REFLECTION
How can we gratefully thank God for the blood of Jesus?

FOR YOUR BENEFIT
A poem and essay by ILMA
The minute you believe in Jesus Christ
You will be able to live in his light
For your benefit, God has united you with him
He has sent his son so you can be redeemed.
Our heavenly Father made Christ to be wisdom
In him alone you will have joy and freedom
For your benefit, Christ made us right with God
It is only right to give him thanks and laud.

Have you ever experienced being given much appreciation for what you do? I was a teacher of Speech, Art and Theater for fifteen years. On Teacher’s Day celebration, all of the faculty were given royal treatment and appreciation for how we mold the lives of the youth. It is a nice feeling to be thought of and admired for what one does. How would you feel if the royal treatment you will receive comes from God himself?
The bible tells us that Christ made us right with God and made us holy and pure. God gave us his only begotten Son so we can be freed from sin. What an awesome honor it is what Christ did for our benefit!
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for giving your Son for my benefit.
REFLECTION
How has Christ death affected your life?
