The Act that Stands Perpetually (Part 2) | Ep. 170

The profound mystery of Christ's redemptive sacrifice unfolds through an illuminating study of Isaiah's ancient prophecy. Isaiah's vivid portrayal of the Messiah as "a tender plant" and "a root out of dry ground" reveals both Christ's divine origin and human nature. Though possessing no extraordinary appearance to attract followers, His mission carried an extraordinary purpose. The prophecy details how He would be "despised and rejected," with people turning away as they might avoid an unpleasant stranger—a heartbreaking foretelling of humanity's response to divine love.

What makes Christ's sacrifice truly remarkable is its voluntary nature. Scripture emphasizes that "he poured out his soul unto death" willingly, bearing "our griefs," "wounded for our transgressions," and "bruised for our iniquities." This wasn't reluctant martyrdom but a deliberate choice made with full awareness of its cost. The magnitude becomes staggering when we consider its scope—not merely for believers but "the sins of the whole world."

Through exploring Hebrews, we contrast the temporary Levitical priesthood with Christ's eternal priesthood "after the order of Melchizedek." Unlike temple priests offering repeated sacrifices, Jesus made one perfect sacrifice "once for all." His perfection—being "holy, harmless, undefiled"—made Him the only suitable sacrifice, establishing a "continual and perpetual intercessor" for believers.

Our response to this sacrifice should be overwhelming gratitude, compelling righteous living. To continue in willful sin after understanding Christ's work is to "trample on His blood." Yet for those who stumble, genuine confession and repentance bring cleansing through His blood—covering not just past sins but future failures of the truly repentant heart.

The choice remains simple: accept Christ's payment and live accordingly, or reject it and face judgment. The magnitude of His sacrifice demands nothing less than complete devotion. How will you respond to the one who willingly bore the weight of all humanity's sin?

The vision received was that of blood cells traveling throughout the body, supplying the much-needed oxygen and other nutrients to the differing members of the body to fulfill their purpose. Once the blood cells are spent, they must return back to the heart to be refilled before being sent out again and fulfill their purpose. Let's see more in Isaiah 53. Timon, if you'll read verse 1 and 2, please.

Tymon Smith: 0:43

Who hath believed our report and to whom

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 1:04

Please, oh, just one and two? Yeah, thank you. Who hath believed our report, who hath believed this prophecy of the Messiah To whom is the arm of the Lord been revealed to.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 1:19

He's speaking of the man Jesus Christ. He's speaking that he's going to grow up before him like a tender plant. When we plant a tender plant, do we not care for it, do we not protect it, do we not take care of it? Was not the man Jesus Christ protected to the point where Herod couldn't touch him? He even went into Egypt and they still couldn't touch him. And when they wanted to stone him, he just disappeared. They couldn't touch him. And when they wanted to stone him, he just disappeared. They couldn't touch him because the father was looking upon him, was protecting him and making him untouchable like a tender plant. Ain't nobody going to hurt you, ain't nobody going to harm you. And then he says and as a root out of dry ground. And I began to understand that that had some meaning. It spoke of two things the root out of dry ground, the dry ground refers back to Adam. Adam was fashioned out of the dry ground and he was given the breath of life. So he's referring that this root is going to be a human. He's going to be a man of the ground, a man of the clay, a man of the earth, a human of the clay, a man of the earth, a human. But what does the root speak of? Well, before you can get a root in the ground, don't you have to be a seed, doesn't? The seed get planted in the ground and then its casing breaks open and then the root starts searching in the ground and creating its root right. Well, the seed is the word of God and it says the word became flesh. He was talking about what he was going to do. No wonder the prophets didn't understand this stuff. We didn't understand this stuff until we realized the Lord of glory had come in the flesh. But the root is that He. It also says He is the root and the offspring of David. He not only came from David, He was before David. He was before Abraham. He was I am. So the root in essence, refers to his beginning, his essence, and remember he said I am the root and the offspring of David.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 3:30

This human that I am prophesying to you of would not have an attractive appearance physically that would call any undue attention to himself. I told you the Lord of glory, and we sing it you're so beautiful, you're so marvelous, you're so wonderful, you're so glorious. Well, he took all of that glory off and he wasn't anybody that we would be like, wow, he's so handsome, he's so large and in charge, he's like a Hollywood star. No, he would be the last person you would think. Why do you think hardly anybody believed him, because man judges by appearance. He wasn't anybody that you would think he's all that? No At all At all. Verse 3. Allen, same chapter.

Allen Cook: 4:27

He is despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and we hid, as if were our faces, from him. He was despised and we esteemed him not.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 4:41

When Jesus reveals Himself to us, we see his face, in other words, we see his glory, we understand that He is and He has our attention, and we have his attention and we bask in His presence. We bask in that attention that He's now given us, for He's revealed himself to us, but when he came unto his own, his own received him. Not, they didn't look at him, they didn't give him his attention. No, they rejected him. They ignored him, like you would probably ignore someone as you walk down the street and some beggar. That's just disgusting and filthy. You would just turn your eyes and say yeah and you'd walk away. That's how they treated him. I don't want to have nothing to do with you. We paid him no reverence. We paid him no respect. We rejected the king of glory, the father who, in love, created us to be loved by him. Glenys, would you read 4, 5, and 6 of the same chapter? Amen.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 6:38

We just read in Isaiah 22 about a nail that's fastened in a sure place, and that sure place it was going to be removed from that sure place. It says that it would be cut down and fall, and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off. In these verses that Glenys just read, we start to understand what was the burden placed upon that nail Our griefs, our sorrows. He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. He was stricken with whips where he had stripes all over his body because the iniquity of us all was placed upon him. This was the burden of that nail. Remember it said that nail would be removed from the sure place. I still haven't figured out the sure place until I continued reading. Lina, would you read 7 and 8?

Lina Cook: 7:52

He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. And he was taken from prison and from judgment. And who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living For the transgression of my people. Was he stricken?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 8:14

This man was afflicted and oppressed to such a high degree and he didn't say a word, he did not defend himself, he willingly gave himself up. It says he was cut off from the land of the living. There's that word cut off. That sure place that the nail was put in was the land of the living. And when it says he was going to be cut off, like in the midst of the week he was cut off, that's referring to his death. He would no longer be living. And he did that for the transgression of the people of God. This is why he was beaten. This is why he was bruised. Apparently, this human willingly...

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 9:15

I think that's the key that causes us to appreciate the love that this man had because he did it willingly. He willingly gave himself up and bared the brunt of the sins of all of God's people and died for it. The nail was fastened in a secure place. He was in the land of the living. But here we see the nail being removed and it being cut off from the land of the living. But it said the burden would be removed from him. Rocky, could you read 9, 10, 11, and 12?

Rocqui Cook: 9:57

and he made his grave with the wicked, with the rich, in his death. Because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him. He hath put him to grief. When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied by his knowledge. Shall my righteous servant justify many, For he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore, I will divide in proportion with the great and he shall divide the soil with the strong, because he hath poured out his soul into death and he was numbered with the transgressors and he bared the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 11:00

He paid that price. Even though he had done no violence, there was no guile in his mouth, there was nothing wrong that he had done to deserve the treatment that he had received. And remember, this is prophecy, this is before it happened. But notice it says thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin. The Lord looked at this man and when all of the sins were placed upon him, it pleased the Lord because redemption was taking place. The justice for the injustices that he has seen throughout the earth, throughout the annals of time, is being taken care of. It's not that he's a sadistic God. It's that He's trying to save mankind and somebody has to pay the price. Somebody has to go down and be the scapegoat, and the only man worthy to be the scapegoat is an innocent man. So when He saw all that He had bared, He looked upon him. He was satisfied. He saw the travail of the soul of the man, of Jesus and all that He took upon himself, and He was satisfied that he's making the payment. It says my righteous shall justify many. The dying of that one man will justify countless numbers of others. He shall bear the iniquity of all those others. Here's the promise to the man, Jesus, because it says in verse 12, he poured out his soul unto death. He did it. The man willingly poured out his soul to die. And here's the promise to the man.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 13:13

We don't understand that. The man had revelations of what God promised would happen to him. He says, therefore, because I see the travail of his soul and I am satisfied because he's going to bring righteousness to many and He bears their iniquities, I will divide him a portion with the great. He shall divide the spoil with the strong. Because he poured out his soul unto death. I promise him that I will give him a great inheritance. That inheritance was spoken of before. I will give him the glory of my father's house and he will then divide it amongst his own.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 13:59

It says he bore their sin and he made intercession. Now I'm going back to Samuel. He made intercession with that act of sacrifice for the transgressors. The man poured out his soul unto death. The stripes and the griefs and the sorrows and the chastisements and the rejection and the transgressions and the iniquity and the sin of all the people of God, all the people of God from Adam to today and to those in the future. All them, all of them. Have you considered the countless numbers of people when I say all of them? This man did it willingly. That's what makes his love so great. That's what makes his love so awesome. He wasn't forced to do it. He did it willingly. He was willing to lay down an innocent life, a life that didn't deserve his treatment. It didn't even deserve death. He never sinned, and if he never sinned, he should have never died.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 15:21

He should have lived forever on earth. But He was willing to take on the sins of the world to save.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 15:40

The man realized that God was looking at him as the sacrificial lamb. He was looking out to and fro throughout the earth, but his own arm brought salvation and by his own righteousness he stood. God was willing to bear the iniquity of all man to give them an opportunity to be saved. I keep saying the man, Jesus Christ, and there's nothing wrong with that. But you have to have the understanding that the man Jesus Christ was none other than God himself in the flesh. And he decided I will die for the sins of the world. I will take it on Me, holy and pure and without sin. I will take it on as if I did it.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 16:34

We've delivered the message in this house that the spirit of Christ was the spirit of God that rested on all of the prophets of old. Did we not say that? We said it in 1 Peter 1, 10 and 11. Of which salvation the prophets inquired and searched diligently? Who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you, searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow All these prophecies that we read of in the Psalms by David, in the Proverbs in Ecclesiastes, in Ezekiel, in Jeremiah, and these all messianic prophetic scriptures, is because the Spirit of Christ it didn't say the spirit of God was on the prophets of old.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 17:27

It said the spirit of Christ, the man, Jesus Christ. You begin to hear his soul being poured out through the prophets of old, before it had ever happened, because in God's eyes he had already done it. The lamb was slain before the foundation of the world, and so his soul had already experienced it and he was sharing his heart with the prophets of old, Letting them know this is what I'm going to suffer for you, and I know you're not going to understand it in the day that you see it or even speak it for me. One example Psalm 7-5. Kyra, could you read Psalm 7-5?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 18:16

David wrote this and if you read it and you don't have any revelation from the Lord.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 18:21

You're going to think, well, it's just David talking about his life and all of the things that he struggled with.

Kyra Henderson: 18:28

Let the enemy persecute my soul and take it, Yea let him, put down my life upon the earth and lay mine on the ring of death.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 18:40

David said that and we think he's talking about himself. And I say that the Spirit of Christ was on David and was speaking through him the things that He had decided. Let the enemy persecute me. Let the enemy persecute my soul. Let the enemy take it. Let him tread down my life upon the earth and lay down mine honor in the dust. That is Christ speaking through him of what he was willing to do, to lay down his life. Let the enemy have his way with me. I'm willing to pay the sacrifice. He said in John 10, 15,.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 19:30

Jesus said as the father know with me, even so, know I, the father, I lay down my life for the sheep. He said that he didn't say God is going to lay down my life. He said I do it, I'm the one that's going to lay it down, I'm the one that's going to sacrifice it. He said it later in 17. This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I might take it again. He's alluding to his who he really is. He's alluding to his who he really is. He's God, but disrobed of all of his glory. Hebrews 7, verse 14. Jordan, if you will read 14, 15, no, just 14 right now.

Jordan Harris: 20:21

It is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah, of which tribe Moses made nothing concerning the priesthood.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 20:28

The author of this book is starting to give a revelation and an understanding that there's a change that has taken place. And he refers back to the law and he says that our Lord, this man, Jesus Christ, was not a Levite. He came out of Judah. Remember, I told you about the tabernacle of David. David did something, not as a Levite, he was of the tribe of Judah. He was a type of what Jesus was going to do. There was a transfer, there was a changing of an order that God had done through the Mosaic law. Moses didn't speak of anything concerning a priesthood through the line of Judah. Dante read 15 and 16, please, and it is yet far more evident for that after the similitude of Melchizedek, Melchizedek the arsonist and another priest who is made not?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 21:38

after the long carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. So in these two verses this author is talking about what I told you about the tabernacle David, that there's some sort of transfer, there's something that is changing what was previously done through the law. There ariseth, remember the word Eliakim, God raises up there ariseth another priest, my servant, whom God raises up, the inheritance of my portion, is made a priest, not through the Levitical line, through the line of Judah, because of the power of an endless life. Please read 17, 18, and 19.

Patricia Ruiz: 22:36

For he testifies, thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek, for there is verily a disannulling of the commandment. God had declared the law in the earth, not for salvation.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 23:07

He declared the law that man would know their failures and their sins, because the law did not have the power to save. It has the power to convict but it doesn't have the power to save. And the word of God declared you are a priest according to the order of Melchizedek. He spoke that prophetically concerning the man, Jesus Christ. You are a priest after the order of Melchizedek because there's a disannulling of the commandment, because it was weak, it couldn't do what I required of it to do. It could not bring about the justice that I wanted to see amongst the world of injustice. The law made nothing perfect. It made no man perfect, it just made them more and more sinful. But God brought a better hope and this is the way that we draw close to God, ashley, if you read 20 and 21.

Ashley Henderson: 24:14

For those priests were made without an oath, but this was an oath by him that said unto him the Lord swear and will not repent, thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 24:28

By so much was Jesus made a certainty of a better time. Jesus was made a priest by the word of God. He literally just simply spoke it over him. You are a priest according to the order of Melchizedek. It had nothing to do with the law and Jesus was the guarantee of this better testament, this better covenant In 23 and 24,. Murray, could you read 23-24?

Murray Fox: 25:03

Yes, sir, and they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death. But this man, because he continued forever at an unchangeable priesthood, wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him seeing. He.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 25:29

In the law. You had a priest after priest after priest after priest after priest, because they were sinful. None of them were perfect. They not only had to make a sacrifice for all the people of God, they also had to make a sacrifice for their own sin, and so it never really got taken care of, because the law could not.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 25:50

But then a man came, this arm of salvation whom God raised up because he continueth forever. Well, god, continue with forever. He has an unchangeable priesthood and he is the one that is able to save them to the uttermost. That will do what come to God by him. Jesus said in the days of his flesh no man cometh unto the Father. But by me he's only affirming what Jesus said, because he ever liveth to make intercession for us. I thought that interesting, because when we believe in the Trinity, you say, well, god is there and you got Jesus over here at his right hand, and he's just constantly praying to the Father and making intercession. Kyra 26 and 27.

Kyra Henderson: 26:55

I'm going to see what this really is about. Go ahead Reception. High priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens. We need him not daily as those.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 27:15

He who was holy, who was harmless, who was undefiled, who was separated from sinners, who was made higher than the heavens. This high priest, he became us. It says it, he became us. And what he did was done once, once and for all men, once and for all time, they say and it is true, he does not need to offer himself up again and again, millennia after millennia. He was perfect, he was holy, he was blameless, he was undefiled. And in verse 28, it says For the law maketh men high priests, which have infirmity, which have sickness, sin high priests which have infirmity, which have sickness, sin, but the word of the oath, which was since the law, make it the son consecrated forevermore. Now we're talking about the office of the son of God. We talk about offices. They hold a particular office or position a pastor, a bishop, an elder. Those are offices.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 28:29

The Son of God is an office of God, and what does it refer to? It refers to redemption. It is the office of God in which he brings about the redemption of mankind. So the office of God, the Son of God, stands, and what He did, His work as the Son of God, stands as a continual and perpetual intercessor, advocating for the people of God. That's why we cry out the blood, the blood, the blood, because the blood is always covering and protecting us. It's not like he had to die today to cover us today and he had to die tomorrow to cover us tomorrow. That one act covers us perpetually for the rest of the eons, for the rest of the ages. This act of redemption by the man, Jesus Christ, stands perpetually as the agent of intercession for the people of God who will do as Samuel admonished them 3,000 years ago when he said and we read this in the beginning only fear the Lord and serve him in truth, with all your heart. Samuel said that he stood as a type of the intercessor, and that word is clearly spoken to us today. The sins have been taken care of For all the people of God. Only fear the Lord and serve him with all of your heart.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 30:06

John the Baptist saw Jesus coming and said Behold the Lamb of God that did what that take away the sins of the world. I've only said he dealt with the sins of his own people. No-transcript. Do you realize the gravity of what Jesus did? He didn't just take upon himself the sins of the people of God, He took upon himself the sins of the whole world. Can you imagine the countless number of people that have ever lived and all of their sins were placed upon him?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 31:00

Have you ever sat down to consider that every one of our sins was paid for by a man who willingly died and paid the penalty of death for us? Have you just sat down and thought about that? Can you fathom? Can you even fathom, the weight of not just carrying one man's sin? Well, you know, some people, unrighteous people, might say, well, I love him so much, I'll die for him, but they're both sinful and you give up your life for that person. Can you imagine this one man? Do you know how many people live in the world today? At least six billion. That's not talking about history, that's talking about presently. There's six billion people. Well, jesus Christ died for six billion people and all the others before, from Adam to today. I don't think we fathom that because the number is so great, it's so large.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 32:12

Personalize it. Try right now to think of sins that you've committed. You know you've committed. Just think about it for a moment and you're just one person and think about all the sins you've committed and you'll probably, if I ask you to number it, you would not be able to number it Because you just it's too much. It'll just start to overwhelm you, and one man's sin overwhelms you your own and yet he did it for six billion plus people, plus, however many lived in the annals of time.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 32:58

Think of your adultery. Think about the fact that Jesus said if you lust in your heart after a woman, you've already committed adultery. Now you just thought about all the things that you ever did. What about all the things that you ever thought? Now that multiplies it even more. That compounds the issue even more, because that was always the issue, the issue of the heart. It doesn't mean that Old Testament people never sinned when they lusted in their heart. They didn't realize that they were already lusting and sinning in their heart when they thought about it. So we commit adultery when we think about things Fornication, any type of sexual perversion, anything that you've ever done that was sexually perverted.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 33:59

Think about how many times you did it. Think about how many times you thought about it. Just thinking about it was an act of sin. Any impure physical or moral act. I'm literally going down the list of the sins and the works of the flesh uncleanness, any impure physical act, lasciviousness, filthy words, unchaste body movements. And then we watch MTV and we're entertained by the dancing and the bop bop of the bum and the breast and everything. We're entertained by that and he calls it lasciviousness, idolatry. Did you realize that the very act of your stubbornness to maintain your own ways is an act of idolatry, witchcraft? You know that the very act of rebellion is witchcraft. We're thinking magic and we're thinking sorcery. When you rebel, you are walking in witchcraft.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 35:11

Hatred, variance, emulations. When you're debating and quarreling and strifing, it's a work of the flesh. When you have extreme jealousy or envy, or indignation, wrath, passion and fierceness, you've ever got so angry that you did something that you regretted in the moment? That's wrath, that's sin. You lost control. When you create factions, when you create contention amongst people, you've never done that. I see kids do it all the time, especially the young kids. Bishop Harris has always said you can't have three girlfriends because two are always going to pair up. Always one gets left out. You get creation and division, contention. You do it when we were children.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 36:07

Heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness. How many times have you been drunk? How many times have you ever started some sort of riot Not like we see where they're breaking windows and stuff? How about you ever stole? Theft, covetousness, deceit you ever, ever, ever been deceitful? Evil eye where you look at people and you think how can I get them?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 36:39

Mischief, ill will toward others, blasphemy, speaking evil against God or others, pride, foolishness, even foolishness. Imagine not just you, but every person who ever lived and will live on the face of this earth. He died for their foolishness and pride and blasphemy and their evil eye and their deceit and their covetousness and theft and revelings and drunkenness and murders, and their envy and their hatred and their evil eye and their deceit and their covetousness and theft and revelings and drunkenness and murders, and their envies and their hatred and their emulations, and all of their witchcraft and all of their idolatry and all of their fornication, whether they did it physically or in their heart. He took it upon himself. He left no stone unturned. He left no leaven not dealt with.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 37:36

A man took it upon himself because the purpose of that man was to reconcile the world to God. God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself. He did not take the time to impute and count your trespasses against you. That's not His purpose.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 38:04

It's twofold I've come to save them which are lost. I've come to make righteous those that are unrighteous. But if there comes a time when I will come in the second half of my ministry and I will take vengeance on them that know God, that do not know God and do not obey his gospel, now we are the ambassadors of Christ. We understand, we appreciate this message, although some of us to very less degree than others, but we appreciate the message of what he has done for us and we begin to walk in a way that is righteous according to what he's done for us, because we realize that he was made the sin that we committed, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. You see, the choices are very simple. One you accept his act of sacrifice as payment for your sins and you live accordingly from now on, by his example, in work and in word. Or two you don't accept his penalty, his payment for the penalty for yourself. It's your choice.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 39:31

In 1 John 2, 1 and 2, john the Apostle said my little children, these things. I write unto you that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, jesus Christ the righteous. He is the payment, the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. You remember what Samuel said to the people of God? He said but if you shall do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king. So whoever you decide to serve today, whoever you yield as members of righteousness or unrighteousness, you and that person you serve if it's not God, will be consumed in the fire of his wrath and his vengeance serve. If it's not, god will be consumed in the fire of his wrath and his vengeance.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 40:42

To this end, we should have an appreciation for the work of redemption that we should be compelled. We really should feel obligated to honor the work that he's already done with our life of sacrifice, doing his will above our own, living righteously all the rest of our days, because to do otherwise is to slap Him in His face. To do otherwise is to trample on His blood. Wherewith you were sanctified, wherewith you were made holy.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 41:13

In Hebrews 10, 26 he says if you sin willfully, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin. You are lost to think that you can walk however you want after everything Christ did for you in his act of redemption as the Son of God. But I'll end on a high note because a lot of us, even when we come into covenant, we end up stumbling. We make bad mistakes, we make bad decisions and I say we made them because we did. And then the devil made me do it. We did it.

I want to end on this high note because he says if we confess our sins and walk in them no more, because repentance is just understood, after what Hebrews 10, 26 said about if we sin willfully, so even though in this particular scripture, after what Hebrews 10.26 said about if we sin willfully, so even though in this particular scripture 1 John 1.9, it just simply says if we confess our sins, he is faithful, he is just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Didn't say anything about and repent. But it's understood, folks, you cannot continue walking in your sins and think that the blood is going to cleanse you from that unrighteousness. You have to repent. You cannot fall in that anymore. But if you do and you confess it and acknowledge it and remedy the situation by walking repentantly contrary to the wickedness. He is faithful and he is just to forgive you. In other words, the blood is not just for your past sins, it's also for the sins that you'll make in the future. He's got it covered. Just don't take it for granted and walk in a manner unworthy of what he's called you to walk in Amen.
