“The Work Is Complete”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 98

The Work of redemption is complete. Everything needed for this journey on earth is ALREADY provided by God through the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross.

If we take an apple, everything needed for the apple to bear bushels of apples is ALREADY in the apple. If it’s not ALREADY in the apple, then where does it come from?

The apple tree is ALREADY in the apple. So are the roots, stem, branches, leaves, and the many bushels of apple. They are all ALREADY in the apple.

Likewise, God by the finished work of Christ has made provision for EVERYTHING the BELIEVER will need for this journey on earth.
Every sin is already forgiven. Every sickness is already healed.
When Christ died, He paid for sin and sickness.
The word of God declares now we are sons of God. Not that we shall be, but we are.
The apple is just one seed. Every word of God is a seed. Faith applied to this seed will manifest everything the seed  is supposed to bring forth.

Salvation is ALREADY provided in the finished work of the Cross. God is not going to do anything else to save mankind. The individual must accept what God has ALREADY done about two thousand years ago. The moment the individual accepts the finished work of Christ, they are immediately saved, according to their faith.

Healing is ALREADY provided. Just as Salvation is spiritual healing,physical healing is also ALREADY provided. The shed blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross has provided healing for the Believer. God is not going to do anything new to heal the believer. He has ALREADY healed the Believer when He went to the Cross.

The Believer simply has to accept the healing that God has ALREADY done.

A believer may say he or she was saved twenty years ago. The scripture declares that the Believer was saved two thousand years ago when Jesus hanged on the Cross. The Believer simply accepted their salvation when it was revealed to them.

So is physical healing. By His stripes the Believer was healed two thousand years ago. The Believer today simply has to accept their healing which is ALREADY provided when He hanged on the Cross.

The Work is finished. Salvation, Healing, and Provision are complete. The Believer simply has to accept it.

The Psalmist sings about the marvelous work of God in Salvation.

Let’s read:

Psalm 98:1-2 “O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. [2] The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.”

He openly declared His Salvation by hanging between two thieves, between Heaven and Earth. A complete work of redemption.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 98:3 “He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.”

The four corners of the earth. Anyone who has heard about Christmas has heard about the Christ, the Salvation of God.

Anyone who has heard about Easter has heard about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for their salvation. If they accept it, they are saved.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 98:4-8 “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. [5] Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. [6] With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King. [7] Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. [8] Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together”

The sea can’t help but roar. It’s the Salvation by Our Lord.
The floods can’t help but clap. It’s the Salvation by Our Lord.
The Believer can’t help but sing. It’s a finished work.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 98:9 “Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.”

He who that believes not in the finished work is ALREADY condemned.

John 3:16-19 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”

He that believes not is ALREADY judged and condemned.

Accept His ALREADY complete work. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The Song of Salvation, in Christ!
