Having a legal verdict/decree and executing it differ from each other. The latter is a different ball game from the former.
Just because Jesus fulfilled the legal claims for justice and deliverance does not automatically make you saved. You must appropriate it; you have to apprehend what He legally made available and accessible for us all.
I am a believer, I am a new man. I believe in the finished work of Christ, new creation reality (ies) is my obsession.
But I was quite humbled when I found out this was the reason I was not seeing the desired change I wanted in an aspect of my life I felt God should be responsible towards, without praying about it with the “Jesus paid it all” mentality.
After all, He knows, I nonchalantly concluded, until I received sense to enforce what Christ had done concerning it in the place of prayer and saw results.
I hear people say very casually I am saved; I am delivered, because Christ died. Are you joking? You see, there is still a need to accept salvation, because there is a probability for rejection, (but we cannot afford to reject so great salvation).
Has the price for the souls in hell not been paid? Has the price for the healing of sick not been paid? Why are people still sick? Why are there souls in hell after the Lord Jesus had died? Romans 10:9-10, 2 Cor 5:20, 1 John 1:9
If so great a salvation, regarded as the greatest miracle, can be appropriated by believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth, how much more every other miracle? Will you ride on the wings of prayer today? Shall we pray!
To be continued… shalom!
