Hebrews 9 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read Hebrews 9.
Meditate on verse 28.

So Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many,
will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin,
 to those who eagerly await Him.

Well, the news about this covenant in Jesus Christ gets better and better.  Not only is God merciful to your iniquities remembering them no more, when He returns to take you out of this world, He will make no reference to your sin.  What a relief is that?  If you are eagerly awaiting the return of Christ, He is not going to mention anything you have done wrong when He comes back.  Jesus Christ became your sin, so you could become His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21).  His blood so completely covers yours sins that Jesus refuses to remember your very sins that killed Him.  If that is not enough, His blood even cleanses your conscience from dead works so you can serve Him.

Jesus does not remember your sins, so why are you allowing the guilt and shame of your past paralyze you and keep you from serving the Living God.  Let God cleanse your conscience of all the dead junk from your past, so you can serve your Savior for the rest of eternity.  Do not neglect your so great a salvation (Hebrews 2:3)!

Pray Hebrews 9:14 and 28 over yourself and those for whom you are standing guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“Christ, by Your blood,
through Your eternal Spirit,
cleanse __________ and my conscience
from dead works to serve You, our living God.
Thank You for bearing our sins.
Thank You that when You appear a second time for salvation,
You will not reference our sin,
if we eagerly await You.
God, please cause ____________ to eagerly await You.
In Your name, Jesus~”
