Theme: The Perfect Sanctification
Text: Hebrews 10:11-18

Memory Verse ~ Hebrews 10:16-18

16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then He adds,“Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

When our fathers of old commit sin, they can only seek forgiveness by offering animal blood to wash their sins. This is often led by the high priest (Leviticus 4:1-6:7). But glory be to God, by the blood of Jesus Christ, our High Priest, we no longer need to offer sacrifices for our sins.

Sin is sin and irrespective of the gravity of your offense, Christ welcomes you to divine sanctification. When He returns, it will no longer be to save a lost generation but rather to take with Him the penitent. He will attain victory over His enemies (Hebrews 10:13, Acts 2:34-35). In 1 John 1:9, it has been stated, the Lord will forgive us if we confess our sins. Lay your sins before Him and He'll wash you clean.

A new covenant has been established in Christ Jesus and it is hope to all who believes in Him (John 3:16, Romans 10:11-13). When Christ said, in days to come, the true worshippers will worship in truth and in spirit, in John 4:21-24 it implies the communion with the Holy Spirit. The Law is in our heart and inscribed in our mind and so fear does not rule in us in the spread of the gospel. That power on the day of Pentecost still abides with us (Acts 2). Our sins has the Lord removed from us and He remembers them no more.  Graciously, we need not to offer sacrifices to atone for our sins.

Prayer:  Purity us o Lord with Your blood. Let your sanctity take seed in us and build us for the advancement of the Great Commission. AMEN!

CHARACTER STUDY ~ APOLLOS

-
Apollos means "one who destroys or a destroyer". He was a New Testament figure who steadily grew to become a servant of Jesus through ministry. He was a staunch Jew.  Some Characteristics of Apollos: √ Apollos was endowed with great knowledge and was very outspoken. In his line of ministry, he exhibited understanding of the old canon and delivered its message boldly.  √ Despite Apollos's eloquence and knowledge, he was only vexed in the baptism of John without the knowledge that the prophecy about the Messiah had already been fulfilled. John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!
