The Finished Work Of Christ On The Cross Resulted In Four Immediate Benefits For The Believer
Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,
Psalms 103:1-3
Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Psalms 103:4-5
1. You Have Been Made Alive In Christ
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:22
He who believes in the Son has everlasting life (ZOE); and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life (ZOE), but the wrath of God abides on him.”
John 3:36
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses (Noun), made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Ephesians 2:5
2. You Are Forgiven
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins (Noun), according to the riches of His grace
Ephesians 1:7
Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake. Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.” This He said, signifying by what death He would die.
John 12:30-33
And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.
Hebrews 10:11-13
For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,”
Hebrews 10:14-16
then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
Hebrews 10:17-18
Understand Your
State
Vs.
Standing
3. You Have Overcome The Enemy
God’s Part Vs. Your Part
And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. (The Cross)
Colossians 2:13-15
Victory Is Not Automatic
Satan’s First Judgment – In Heaven – Luke 10:18-19, Ezekiel 28:15-27, Revelation 12:4
Satan’s Second Judgment – Genesis 3:15
Satan’s Third Judgment – The Cross
Judgments To Come

God Has Done His Part
We Must Do Our Part!
The Key!!!!
Renew Our Minds And
Yield To The Holy Spirit
I have written to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.
1 John 2:14
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:1-2
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Ephesians 6:10-11
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ephesians 6:12-13
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Ephesians 6:14-15
above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
Ephesians 6:16-18
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
Revelation 12:11
4. You Have The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
1 Corinthians 3:16
I Am Alive In Christ
I Am Forgiven
I Have Authority Over The Enemy
I Have The Holy Spirit In Me
