Email from Abiding Place Daily Bread – December 23, 2024 (The Second Day – Genesis 1:6-8) Matthew 1:21 – And she shall bring forth a Son, and you shall call His Name Jesus, and He shall save His people from their sins. The Salvation Jesus Came To Give The salvation in Christ Jesus extends beyond the nation of Israel unto all who would believe – for God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever would believe might be saved (John 3:16, 12:32; Titus 2:11-12) Jesus poured out the blood of the New Covenant at Calvary to wipe away every stain of sin. With His blood, He removed the power of sin so it would no longer have dominion over the redeemed (Isaiah 1:18; Matthew 26:28; Revelation 1:5; Romans 6:2,14). He purchased us with His Own blood so we might glorify Him in our bodies and spirits, which are His (Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 6:20). Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of the devil. And through death, He destroyed the one who had the power of death – that is the devil (1 John 3:8; Hebrews 2:14). Jesus abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel (2 Timothy 1:10). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
