By Synthia Esther

Do you have religion or do you know God? Religion and its  rules  include moral, ethical, and social behavior. Do you feel you  measure  up? Do you feel better about yourself when you do? Does your  religion  have you follow the law of the ten commandments and the  precepts of God  Himself? Do your works, behavior, and ceremonial  religious habits such  as being baptized, stir you to boldly proclaim  you are a Christian?  

Religion, baptism, or works is not the way to salvation.  Ephesians  2:8-10, For it is by grace you have been saved, though faith  - and this  not from yourselves, it is a gift of God - (9) not by  works, so that no  one can boast. (10) For we are God's workmanship,  created in Christ  Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. It  is by grace alone that we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary, shedding His innocent,  Holy blood so that we can come to experience salvation and the gift of  eternal life. By exercising our faith and trust in the work of  atonement provided by Jesus Christ, we experience salvation made  perfect through His justification plan. There is nothing you could or  could not do to earn your salvation. No matter what you have done in  your past it only took one drop of Christ's  Holy atoning blood to cover  not only your sins, but all of humanities  sin. A defeasance is a clause  within a contract or deed providing for  annulment. Jesus Christ shed  blood was the defeasance providing the clause that annulled all   humanities sin. His death and resurrection was the provision that   voided out our debt to sins curse on humanities souls. He paid the   price to set us free!

Romans 3:22-24, This righteousness from God comes through faith in  Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, (23) for all  have sinned  and fall short of the glory of God, (24) and are justified  freely by  his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.  Galatians 2:20-21 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer  live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by  faith in the Son  of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (21) I  do not set aside  the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained  through the law,  Christ died for nothing! Romans 11:6, And if by grace,  then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be  grace.

When we grasp the love behind God's redemption plan, and Jesus  Christ submitting in love to His Father's plan, we see a glimpse beyond  our  minds thought and reason concerning our religious works or efforts.  In  our feeble earthly attempts to some how become worthy enough of His   love, we become ensnared in false perceptions of the depth of His love.   When we humans strive to grasp the power behind God's infinite grace,   mercy and love with our finite reasoning power to define infinite,   spiritual Holy Love we are limited in our perspective. This spiritual   revelation causes us to look beyond what work and message we can   impart, to become the living message of Christ's  Love in deed, thought  and action. Our purpose in life then  becomes...your will be done on  earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10).  

As Christians we strive to  live by the values we feel unworthy of. But  it is the act of  surrendering our attempts at becoming religious to  submit to the acts  of God's will, that we come to realize the Holy  Spirit is working  within us to achieve what we never could, "to become  more like Christ  in Spirit and in truth".

By striving to go with the flow of the river instead of  against  its currents, we endeavor to achieve denial of self (the  flesh),  growing in faith and trust in God. We surrender our will for  God's  will, realizing we cannot save ourselves. Then no matter our   circumstances, we accept our trails and tribulations for the cause of  Christ and His work in and through us. Acts 20:23-24, I only know that  in  every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are   facing me. (24) However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if   only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has   given me - the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace. Then we   are strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that   we might have great endurance and patience (Colossians 1:11).

 The  power  of the cross and resurrection provided by the blood Of the Lamb  Of  Sacrifice, Jesus Christ, did the work and paid the redemption price and  defeasance clause against sin, for all of humanity. 

As Christians, we are never powerless, as God has given us the  authority and power through His only begotten son, Jesus Christ to live  victoriously. The words of the song written in the 1930's by  E. M.  Bartlett, "Victory in Jesus, " tell the victorious salvation story  well. "I heard an old, old story, How a Savior came from glory,  How He  gave His life on Calvary To save a wretch like me; I heard about  His  groaning, Of His precious blood's atoning, Then I repented of my  sins  and won the victory. 2. I heard about His healing, of His  cleansing  power reveling, How He made the Lame to walk again And caused  the blind  to see; And then I cried Dear Jesus, Come and heal my broken  spirit,  and some how Jesus came and bro't to me the victory. 3. I  heard about a  mansion He has built for me in glory, And I heard about  the streets of  gold Beyond the crystal sea; About the angels singing,  And the old  redemption story, And some sweet day I'll sing up there the  song of  victory. Chorus: O victory in Jesus, My Savior, forever, He  sought me  and bo't me With His redeeming blood; He loved me ere I knew  Him And  all my love is due Him, He plunged me to victory, beneath the  cleansing  flood."

 Living in the 21st century is vastly different than  Barlett's  life in the 1930's. No matter the time difference, the  message is still  the same. As children of the King of kings, we have  victory in Jesus!
