Christians need to understand that salvation was a beautiful and final work for all those who love Christ and do His work. We lack nothing, for this is what the Bible says: Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: (1 Corinthians 3.21). However, we need to know the Truth so that we don't live like the lost. After all, we are citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, heirs of God, and everything has already been deposited into our account.

         The verse states that the nations around us will know that the Lord has changed our fortunes. That's why we must claim our salvation, total freedom from sin, the healing of infirmities and the solution to problems. When we speak to those who don't yet know Jesus, we must say the meaning of the Gospel loud and clear. How can they believe if there is no one to preach it? (Romans 10:14).

         Everything that Adam's sin destroyed has been rebuilt. We no longer live in the kingdom of lies, but in that of Truth: He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love (Colossians 1.13). Is this real? Yes, because the Holy Spirit inspired Paul to write it. God has taken us from the devil's authority and transported us to the Kingdom of certainty and blessings. That's beautiful!

         Not knowing the Word keeps us under the sway of the enemy. We have to accept that the work has been accomplished in our place. Jesus did enough to give us life and the other gifts that belong to us in Him. Christ said: And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8.32). I cannot believe otherwise, because that would be to deny the Word and its Author. Get ready to enjoy the new life in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).

         God never lies, but we do when we say we believe in Him without proving it by our lifestyle. The Most High declared: Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it.” (Ezekiel 36:36). Wake up! Many have been begging for their rights, when they should be showing their neighbors how much living with their heavenly Father is worth!

          Unless you take your place in Christ, you will never attain divine blessings. At the end of verse 36, God says: I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it. No more doubt! He is the unique and irrevocable Truth. The Most High never deceives Himself or says He has done something He has not done. Those who believe can determine their blessing and move forward confidently. Those who are starting out in faith need to see their success.

        What will your decision be? Will you believe the evil one or will you take your place in the Lord, glorifying Him for what He has done for the saved? Never doubt or allow the enemy to take over your life. Jesus Christ is your only Lord!

In Christ, with love,
