Living in the Abundance of Christ's Sacrifice

Devotional

Day 1: The Power of Jesus’ Blood and Sacrifice

Through the sacrifice of Jesus’ body and the shedding of His blood, every sin—past, present, and future—has been washed away, and we have been made holy, righteous, and blameless before God. His blood is not just a covering, but a complete removal of sin, granting us access to a new covenant and a life of freedom, wholeness, and intimate relationship with God. No further payment is required; His sacrifice is once and for all, and we are called to live in the fullness of what He has accomplished, continually giving thanks for the redemption and new identity we have received. [01:10:49]

Hebrews 10:9-10 (TPT): “And then he said, ‘God, I will be the one to go and do your will.’ So by being the sacrifice that removes sin, he abolishes animal sacrifices and replaces that entire system with the new covenant. By God’s will we have been purified and made holy once and for all through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus, the Messiah.”

Reflection: Is there a sin or regret you still carry that Jesus’ blood has already washed away? Can you thank Him today for making you holy and let go of that burden?

Day 2: Abundant Life Through Christ’s Resurrection Power

Jesus’ resurrection released a power that not only raised Him from the dead but now lives in every believer, enabling us to walk in newness of life, free from the grip of sin and death. This resurrection life is not just for survival but for abounding in every area—overflowing with God’s goodness, healing, and provision. We are united with Christ in His death and resurrection, and God’s view of us is the same as His view of Jesus: beloved, accepted, and empowered to live victoriously. [02:08:58]

Romans 6:4-5 (ESV): “We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.”

Reflection: What area of your life feels stuck in “death” or defeat? How can you invite the resurrection power of Jesus to bring new life and hope there today?

Day 3: God’s Will for Abundance and Provision

It is God’s will for His children to live in abundance, not lack; He gives us the power to prosper and to stand strong against every onslaught of the world. This abundance is not just material but encompasses every good work, flowing from a heart surrendered to Him and built on the rock-solid foundation of Christ. As we walk His paths, which drip with abundance, we are equipped to fulfill every calling and to be a blessing to others, demonstrating the reality of our covenant with God. [01:44:04]

Deuteronomy 8:18 (ESV): “You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”

Reflection: Where have you been believing for just enough, rather than God’s abundance? What is one step you can take today to trust Him for more and to walk in His provision?

Day 4: Building Your Life on the Rock of Christ

When we hear and act on Jesus’ words, we build our lives on the unshakeable foundation of Christ, sharing in His strength and resilience no matter what storms come our way. This “rock wall strength” is God’s gift to protect and empower us, ensuring that the world’s pressures and challenges cannot erode our faith or identity. By digging deep and fully engaging with God’s message, we become storm-proof, able to stand firm and thrive in every season. [01:49:41]

Luke 6:47-48 (Mirror Bible): “Let me illustrate what it’s like for an individual who follows me. He hears my words and fully engages the effect of the message. It is like building a storm-proof house. So this person dug beyond the surface layers and continued to excavate until solid rock was found. And the foundation of the house was laid upon that rock. Then one day there was a massive cloud burst. The water began to rise and the river came down in flood until it burst its banks in a torrent and broke against the house with full force. Yet its intensity did not even shake the structure. The secret is that the house shares the same strength of the rock.”

Reflection: What “surface layers” in your life need to be dug through so you can build more deeply on Christ? How can you intentionally engage with His words today?

Day 5: Yielding to the Holy Spirit for Transformation and Harvest

As we yield to the Holy Spirit, He transforms us from glory to glory, preparing us to be lights and witnesses to a lost world and to participate in God’s great harvest. This outpouring of the Spirit brings boldness, assurance, and a deeper awareness of God’s presence and goodness, shifting our focus from ourselves to the needs of others. The more we open our hearts and allow God to work, the more we are changed, equipped, and empowered to reflect His glory and love to those around us. [01:34:54]

2 Corinthians 3:18 (ESV): “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.”

Reflection: In what area of your life do you sense the Holy Spirit inviting you to yield more fully? How might this surrender prepare you to impact someone else for Christ this week?

Sermon Summary

God’s character and promises are unchanging, regardless of our circumstances or feelings. He is the Way Maker, the Miracle Worker, and the Promise Keeper. When it seemed impossible for us to return to God, Jesus made a way through His sacrifice, bringing us into the family of God and making us whole—spirit, soul, and body. The stripes on Jesus’ body were for our healing, and His blood was shed for our redemption, washing away every sin and making us righteous and blameless before God. This is not just a covering, but a complete removal of sin and its effects, so that we can live in the fullness of what Christ has accomplished.

The life is in the blood, and Jesus’ blood was poured out as a shielding substitute, absorbing the wrath of God so we would never have to face it. His sacrifice was once for all, perfect and complete, leaving no outstanding debts. We are called to live in the reality of this finished work, not trying to add to it with our own efforts, but responding with gratitude and faith. Our acts of service and giving flow from what He has already given us, not as a means to earn His favor.

God’s desire is for us to abound in every area of life. His covenant is established in our abundance, and He gives us “rock wall strength”—a supernatural power to withstand every challenge and to prosper in every good work. This abundance is not self-centered, but God-centered, manifesting as we yield our hearts to Him and allow His Spirit to transform us from glory to glory. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live out this resurrection life, to stand firm on the rock of Christ, and to be witnesses of His goodness to a world in need.

We are not called to a life of lack or defeat, but to overflow with the life and power of God. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us, enabling us to walk in newness of life, free from sin, and equipped for every good work. Our words, our faith, and our gratitude become the fruit of a life built on the unshakeable foundation of Christ. As we remember and proclaim what Jesus has done, we step into the abundance and victory He has secured for us, living as true sons and daughters of God.

Key Takeaways

1. Jesus’ Sacrifice Brings Complete Wholeness The body and blood of Jesus were given not just to cover our sins, but to make us whole—spiritually, physically, and emotionally. His atonement leaves nothing out; what was broken in us is restored as if it never happened. This wholeness is a present reality, not a distant hope, and we are invited to receive it fully, not diminishing any part of what He accomplished. [51:07]
2. The Blood of Jesus Is Our Shielding Substitute The blood of Christ is not merely symbolic; it is the very life that stands between us and the judgment our sins deserved. At the cross, Jesus absorbed the full wrath of God, satisfying every demand of the law. Because of this, we are forever free from condemnation, and no sin or failure can separate us from God’s love or presence. [60:58]
3. Abundance Is God’s Covenant Intention for Us God’s will is not for us to live in lack, but to abound in every good work. He gives us the power—described as “rock wall strength”—to resist the erosion of the world’s system and to prosper in every season. This abundance is proof of our covenant with God, and it manifests as we center our lives on Him, yielding our hearts and trusting His provision. [104:55]
4. Resurrection Power Is Alive in Every Believer The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us, empowering us to live victoriously and to manifest God’s goodness daily. This resurrection life is not just for eternity, but for now—enabling us to overcome every situation, to speak life, and to walk in the newness Christ purchased for us. We are not victims of circumstance, but victors through His power. [123:41]
5. The Holy Spirit Empowers Us for Transformation and Mission The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is essential for living the abundant life Jesus promised. He brings boldness, assurance, and the ability to stand firm and be witnesses of Christ’s glory. As we yield to the Spirit, we are continually transformed, equipped for the harvest, and able to manifest the infinite abilities of God in a world desperate for hope. [92:35]

Bible Study Guide

Bible Reading

Isaiah 53:4-5 (NLT) — > Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.

- Hebrews 10:9-10 (TPT)
> And then he said, “God, I will be the one to go and do your will.” So by being the sacrifice that removes sin, he abolishes animal sacrifices and replaces that entire system with the new covenant. By God’s will we have been purified and made holy once and for all through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus, the Messiah.

- Romans 6:4-7 (NKJV)
> Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin.

see, that rock wall strength that it talks about in the New Testament, that word is closely associated with the word dunamis. Which is God's miracle working power. It's an explosive. It's where we get the word dynamite. It's an exploding power that is powerful enough to change any situation, any circumstance you face. The dunamis power of God can come in and blow it up and bring it back into right order. Into kingdom order. [01:58:52] (31 seconds) Edit Clip

This is something we know. This is something we know. Something that happened for me. Something that Jesus did for me. The resurrection power is alive in me. I died his death. I live his life.

See, the Holy Spirit can come and change your life. If you're not born again here today, this message is a great message for you. If you don't know, if you haven't received the Holy Spirit in your life and you want to, you want this power that comes and resides in you, that edifies and builds up.

It gets charged up so that you can go out and have energy. Go out and have power to do what he's called you to do.
