Three Things What You Cannot Do Without
(Billy Graham)
“A man is rich not by what he owns but by what he can’t do without”. The bible says, “Three things you can’t do without; if you want to have JOY and PEACE and ASSURANCE, and YOUR SINS FORGIVEN and THAT YOU KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN”.
In Hebrew 9:22, “Without shading of blood there is no forgiveness”. If Jesus did not shade his blood on the cross for your sins you could never have forgiveness, you would be a lost soul. From Genesis to Revelation blood is shaded, and why Leviticus 17:11, Moses said, “For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] make an atonement for the soul”. And we are all related by blood, you may be a black man, a brown man, a yellow man, whatever your background, you are related to me by blood. Apostle Paul said, “God has made of one blood, all the nations of men to dwell on the face of the earth”. We all related to our first parent Adam & Eve. They rebel against God and broke God’s law and interesting things happened that they try to cover their sins from God but they can’t.
When Cain and Abel first sons of Adam and Eve, Abel’s sacrifice was accepted for blood is in it but Cain sacrifice was rejected for blood is not in it, so Cain jealous of his brother and killed him that, was the first murdered in the history of human race according to the bible. And you know that night in Egypt God said, “I am going to kill as a judgment in Egypt, the first born son of every all house in Egypt.” And every Jews remembered that event to this hour and celebrate every year. For God said, “Put a blood of animal on the door post and when I see the blood I will passed over that house not depend on how I see how good work you are, how rich you are, what church you belong to, but when I see the blood I’ll passed over.” Also when you got a communion on Sunday you got grape juice or wine, whatever the church served that stands for the blood shaded on the cross. John the Baptist cried out, “Behold the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world”. Why did he call the Lamb of God? Because the lamb is going to die on the cross and the blood is going to be shaded for our sins to take away the sin of the world. And that blood can cleanse every sin that you have committed. There is power in the blood. Without the shading of blood there is no forgiveness. Do you want forgiveness of you sins now? You know, no one can pass through the entrance of heaven even with a single spot of sin for every sin must be completely forgiven only with the blood shaded on the cross by Jesus Christ. Now blood of cross is a symbolic in the bible that means the life of Jesus Christ given for us at the cross. And when he died on the cross and shaded his blood, God accepted that sacrifice instead of you making your own sacrifice. In other word you wouldn’t have to spend the day of the judgment, you wouldn’t have to spend one day in hell, you will be forgiven as you have never sinned by the blood of Jesus Christ for He paid the ransom. If Jesus is not willing to go to the cross and paid our ransom you couldn’t be saved, you couldn’t have forgiveness.
On the cross God is saying something to all of us that, “I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU………I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THAT I AM WILLING TO SEE MY ONLY SON DIE”. The angels couldn’t believed it and they pull their swords, 72 thousand of them were ready to come and swiped the whole planet into a bloody and rescue the son of God, but Jesus never called them. He said, “I came to do the will of my Father”. He died and shaded blood on the cross for you. Without shading blood there is no forgiveness.
Second without faith it is impossible to please Him:
Hebrew 11:6: Christ had done whatever He is going to do on the cross; now it comes your part, without faith we cannot please Him (God). Some of men and women who have faith were listed down like, the prostitute Rehab, because she too believes in God and proved her faith by her work. But to say what is faith? How do I have to get this faith? You know what faith is; believing and Receiving what God has revealed in the bible, in nature, in conscience and to trust his scripture and Jesus Christ whom He sent. For salvation, faith is personal trust apart from any works in Jesus Christ I cannot work my way to heaven. After I received Jesus Christ to my savior I proved that I am a Christian by my works. But you cannot do one single thing to earn one minute in heaven for by Grace so you saved through faith not by your work, it is a gift so no one should boast. Salvation is not depend on what a single thing I have done or who I am, but it’s entirely depend on what is done on the cross by Jesus Christ that I believe and accepted Him as my Lord and my Savior. But after I am saved I have sinned every minute and every day if I am not working for my Savior and abiding in Him. Faith without work is death says, James. This is Jesus commandment, “You should believe in the son of God, Jesus Christ”. He commands or orders you to BELIEVE, BELIEVE……ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THOU SHALL BE SAVED. There is no other way you can approach God, you can know God, and you can contact God except though faith. Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Roman5:1). What is faith? Faith is the receptions of the gospel, confidence in God in his work and total dependent on Christ for our forgiveness and the fulfillment of our life. Faith is he who reclined his whole weight upon the begotten Son alone, for those who don’t reclined his whole weight upon the lord Jesus Christ is already condemned but he who reclined his whole weight 100% upon the lord Jesus Christ alone is no more condemned. We should not recline on the church for the activities we performed in the church or work for the lord we had done because all these works are just the result of our faith upon the Christ. Faith means I received Lord Jesus Christ and I do something about it for I reclined on Him alone 100%.
Third without me you can do nothing John 15:5:
When you believe in the lord Jesus Christ and recline on Him 100%, the Holy Spirit lives in your heart within you, through you for the lord Jesus Christ is away from us and sit in the right side of his Father (God). John 15 is one of the most important chapters in the bible talking about the grape vine and its branches; which shows relation between the Lord Jesus Christ and his believers. Prophesying Christians were not put right with God just by prophesying that, “I believe in God, I believe the Scriptures and the work done on the cross or anything else, without any work or action with faith”. So we need to prove it by bearing the fruit of the Spirit like LOVE, JOY, PEACE, GENTLENESS, LONGSUFFERING,.. all those fruits of the Spirit. They are to characterize the true believer in Jesus Christ. By their fruit you shall know them. There are flowers some were artificial and some were real but birds know which one is true or not so attracted to the true flower but not to the artificial one. For real flower is alive from the root while artificial flowers has no life in itself.
You could be useless branches for the Lord in three ways,
1.) If you refuse listening to Christ at all.
2.) You listen to Him but because of not deep rooted the word in you.
3.) You accepted Him as your Lord but not giving Him the first place.
So to be abiding in Him we must accepted Him as our Lord and Savior and give Him the first place as Lord of our eyes, Lord of our thought, Lord of our hand, and Lord of our everything. So without abiding to Him, you cannot do anything that spiritually pleasing God. Without Him we cannot bear supernatural fruit but with Him we can love anyone, with Him we can be gentle when someone normally hit to our face or do evil to us. With Him in our life we can forgive what wrong things done to our life. And by abiding in Him we always get the strength and light that can do really something great which the world cannot do.
Without blood shading there is no forgiveness of sins, without faith we cannot please God and without abiding in Him we can do nothing.
