Isaiah 53:6 NKJV

All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 53:6 NKJV

Isaiah prophesied about Christ taking all our punishment seven hundred years before Christ died on the cross.

Our rebellious nature which led to punishment HAS BEEN LAID ON HIM. That means the nature of rebellion has been dealt with by Jesus on the cross.

Rebellion has a habit, a pattern, and a way of thinking that comes from a rebellious spirit that rejects the truth. Every child born in this world does not need to be taught to be rebellious because it is already in them - the sin nature.

But in Christ, that has been dealt with and now as children of God, we have the Spirit of God and a nature just like Him.

Jesus Christ our Lord has dealt for us with regard to the rebellious nature and has empowered us to be renewed so that we can start living like God.

Now every day we need to be transformed from the INSIDE OUT. We are taking what Christ has established in us and exercising it in all our five senses.

We are to constantly change our thinking so that we are no longer sin-conscious.

Change our speaking to one who has already inherited and been blessed with every spiritual blessing.

Change to believe that now we are already made holy, pure, and blameless to live according to God's image and likeness.

To be thankful and grateful to all that Christ has done is to start living our lives according to Christ's Word and the Finished work of the Cross.

Let us value the sacrifice Christ has made and the punishment He has taken on Himself so that we can be free to live in His glory and power.

Live in the blessings,

Ps Ambrose
