The God of Perfection

John 19:28-30 – “After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put  it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had  received the vinegar, he said, It is finished:  and he bowed his head, and gave up the  ghost” It is finished."

Christ's work as Mediator is done. This  means that everything needed for our salvation has now been accomplished  perfectly. Nothing more is  needed. No other sacrifice is  required.

If only I  believe in  Jesus than nothing is  lacking for my salvation. "It is finished." Jesus has accomplished our salvation. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, we can contribute to His work of redemption done on our behalf.

Friend, what sort of work has the Lord started in you? At what point are you now in the program of God for your life? It is the Lord’s will to continue to work on you until He has perfected all of your situations.

How far are you willing to allow Him to go in one area or the other in your life? You should note that if all you desire is an improvement, the Master will not violate your wishes. What are you out for this year - mere improvement or perfection?

May your life receive the Lord’s second touch, a touch of perfection. You will have good success this 2017.

Remain blessed.

Shalom.
