3. “It is finished.” John 19:30
These three words are the last words
Jesus spoke before He died on the
cross.
People all over the world rely on
Jesus and what He did on the cross…
but I wonder how many of them are
not understanding what it is that
Jesus finished
4. Is.53:5
“But he was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bruised
for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace
was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed.”
5. What exactly did Jesus finish?
1 Peter 3:18
“That’s what Christ did definitively:
suffered because of others’ sins, the
Righteous One for the unrighteous
ones. He went through it all—was
put to death and then made alive—to
bring us to God.” (MSG)
6. 1 Peter 3:18 Ampl.
“For Christ [the Messiah Himself]
died for sins once for all, the
Righteous for the unrighteous (the
Just for the unjust, the Innocent for
the guilty), that He might bring us to
God. In His human body He was put
to death, but He was made alive in
the spirit,”
7. I am comforted with words
like definitively,especially when
they come from God.
At the cross Jesus was
declaring that because of His
sinless life here on earth He
could “bring us to God”.
8. Who are the “us” Jesus is referring
to?
John 3:16 (NIV)
“For God so loved the world that
He gave His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him
shall not perish but have eternal
life
10. God’s grace has made available to us
everything we will ever need in this
life.
However, it’s going to take faith in
order to access grace; we cannot be
passive about it. We received
salvation by grace through faith.
Our salvation includes our soundness,
wholeness, deliverance, healing, and
prosperity. It is by faith that we take
possession of those finished works. It
is already done.
11. We received our salvation by grace through
faith. God has given us everything we need to
have an extraordinary life (Ephesians 2:8-
10, AMP).
1. “For the grace of God that
bringeth salvation hath appeared
to all men” (Titus 2:11).
a. Salvation has been made available to
everyone on the planet.
b. It takes faith to receive the grace that’s
been made available (Romans 5:2).
12. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in
Christ” (Ephesians 1:3).
1. There are two realms in existence,
running concurrently—the spiritual and
the physical realms.
a. The spirit realm is the parent of the physical
realm.
b. The physical things we see came from
spiritual things we cannot see.
c. For instance, angels exist even though we
cannot see them with our physical eyes.
13. 2. “And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray
thee, open his eyes, that he may see.
And the Lord opened the eyes of the
young man; and he saw: behold, the
mountain was full of horses and chariots
of fire round about Elisha” (2 Kings
6:17).
a. The spiritual eyes of the servant were opened,
giving him the ability to see the spiritual
realm (2 Kings 6:15-17).
14. 3. When we became born again, God
placed many good things on the
inside of us (our born-again spirits).
a. When we are facing troubling challenges in
life, we can acknowledge those good things
within us (Philemon 1:6).
b. Our salvation encompasses our soundness,
wholeness, deliverance, healing, and
prosperity.
c. By faith, we take ownership of what God has
already done.
17. Take comfort in knowing that God
knows exactly what He is doing.
There is no “Plan B”. He doesn’t need
one!
1 Peter 3:22 (MSG)
“ Jesus has the last word on
everything and everyone, from angels
to armies. He’s standing right
alongside God, and what He says
goes.”
