The good😎 The bad🤬 The ugly👺

Hebrews 10:12 (KJV) But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 

“But this man” Remember who this man was? Back in verse 10 we are told who he is; Jesus Christ. So Jesus Christ after he had offered Himself for our sins for ever sat down on the right hand of God.  Not only is it written for us in This Book; the Bible, God also placed within our heart His Spirit. God is serious about our redemption.

Hebrews 10:15 (KJV) Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

Here is what the Apostle Paul said

Ephesians 1:14 (KJV) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Paul said the Holy Ghost who is our witness is the earnest of our inheritance. What does that mean? Maybe you and your wife are looking to buy a house. After a long while you both find one that will meet your needs. So you put down what is called earnest money which means you really mean business: in other words you are Serious you have placed your money where your mouth is.  That’s what Jesus did. He not only had the redemption of our soul written in a book, The Bible. He also placed within our heart His Spirit. 

John 14:16 (KJV) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

John 14:17 (KJV) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Remember that His Spirit, the Holy Spirit only comes to sinners who realize they are sinners and ask for forgiveness (repents). At that point they are given the Spirit of God which He gives as an earnest of our Salvation. Therefore we can know without doubt we are His children.  

1 John 5:11 (KJV) And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1 John 5:12 (KJV) He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

1 John 5:13 (KJV) These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.  The Bible is an amazing book. As we read about men like Moses, Abraham, Jacob, King David and many more. Remember when we are reading about these men we are not reading biographies we are only reading about small portions of their lives the good the bad and the ugly. The good and the bad and the ugly are put there for our learning.

1 Corinthians 10:6 (KJV) Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Moses disobeyed God, Abraham lied, Jacob cheated, David had an adulterous affair which led to murder. But in all they did, God used them greatly just as God will use each of us, for we are no different.  Sinners just as they were with attitudes just like they had. Oh how great is our God that He works at changing us and then using us to do great things for Him.
