October 26th - Our Salvation is Secure, now Grow Up!

Speaking of Jesus, the Word of God declares...

"He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once FOR ALL by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption." (Hebrews 9:12)

“Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God that is the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” (Hebrews 13:15-16)

We are told what the acceptable sacrifices are now that Jesus has sacrificed Himself for humanity. Acceptable sacrifices are "praise" and "thanksgiving" - that’s it - which can be done anywhere and any time of the day! 

As we offer these two sacrifices we should not forget to "do good and to share".  

And we are to...

“...put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into your salvation…you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house…to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 2:4-5)

Our Salvation is secure - we just need to start growing up in it and drink the "pure spiritual milk" of the Word of God.
