So you have received Jesus The Christ, The Messiah, as your Savior and God? Well, let’s begin to learn some of the things that happen to you or anyone in that great exchange.
Hebrews 9: 13-14 teaches us: “For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the purging and cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Messiah–who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God–purge and cleanse our consciences, (my conscience and your conscience) from DEAD WORKS to serve the living God?”
One of the things that happened to you, to anyone is that you are washed in the holy, pure blood of Jesus the Messiah. Your sins are now washed away; you are now blood-washed. Your reborn Spirit is now sanctified and holy, set apart to do the Will of God.
So, if you find that your conscience has not yet been purged from DEAD WORKS, and you do not have any desire to serve God and Jesus; you have to question whether you are truly born again. This verse in Hebrews clearly teaches that the blood of Messiah Jesus cleanses us and purges us from the desire to DEAD WORKS and we now desire to serve the Living God.
Dead works is anything of the flesh that is not pleasing to God: self, ambition, pride, the list goes on ad infinitum. If you have no desire to seek out fellowship with other believers, find a bible-teaching church, read the Bible, or share with someone what has happened to you; you must question whether you are truly a son or daughter of God.
But fear not, just talk to God again in prayer, and ask the Holy Spirit to purge your conscience from these dead works and how to begin to serve God.
As always, if you have any questions, please comment and subscribe, and keep seeking God.
Love in Yeshua ha Mashiach, Jesus the Messiah,
