The ten most powerful things of universe
In a terrorism world, dictatorship and massive destruction, how can events happened 2 thousand years ago in a valley near Jerusalem really make difference today in our lives? Jesus Christ's suffering in the cross and His resurrection three days later have still power to defeat the enemies of everything good and correct?
The answer is a triumphant “Yes!”. it is important we remind that Jesus' last words before His death were, “it is consummated.” The debt of our sins was totally payed. Even if the work of the redemption would finished, Jesus was not ended. Three days then, Jesus lifted from the death by the power of God.
The power of God is larger than any other power that could exist today in the world. Larger than any army, larger than any armament, larger than any governor, Jesus is Lord on everything and He has more power than all things.
Bellow you have a list of the ten most powerful things in the universe that they are at your disposal today as a true Christian in Christ Jesus.
1. the Power of Jesus' Blood – Nothing else can grant you the pardon.
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;” Ephesians 1:7
2. The Power of the Gospel – Nothing else can save your soul.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16
3. The Power of the Cross – Nothing else can set you free of the slavery of the sin.
“ Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Romans 6:6
4. The Power of the Word – Nothing else can reveal you the transformer truth.
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12
5. The Power of the kingdom of God – nothing else can protect you against the evil.
“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” Mathew 6: 13
6. The Holly Spirit's Power – Nothing else can turn you more according to Christ's image.
“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” II Corinthians 3:18
7. The Power of Resurrection – Nothing else can give you eternal hope.
“... hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” I Peter 1:3.
8. The Power of the Prayer – Nothing else can move the hand of God.
“And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” Mathew 21:22
9. The Power of the Grace – Nothing else can give freely everything that you need.
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work” II Corinthians 9:8
10. The Power of the Faith – Nothing else can maintain you firm until the end.
“To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” I Peter 1:4-5
Finally, be sure that Jesus Christ is on that moment at the right of the Father, that His name is above whole name, that he is the King of the kings and Lord fo the lords, that all enemies are down to His feet, and that His government and peace will never have end. Very shortly He will lift from His throne and He will go back to the earth to reign in justice. Until that day, continue firm in Him, because His redemption is coming.
