NAIL IT TO THE CROSS
See my video short for Monday September 14, 2026 under my name: Hanny Stearns
In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.
Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh. Col. 2:
Today I was reminded by Holy Spirit that what we do in this life and the mistakes or choices we might make on a given day that may not be the right choice always, we cannot allow the devil to try to convince us that Jesus' sacrifice was not enough, because it was! We can take everything to Jesus, to the cross and nail it there. Why? Because He was nailed there. We do not have to live in guilt, shame or condemnation ever. If we mess up, we can "fess up" and that's all there is to it. By His grace, we have been saved. Why? Because the Lord knew before the world was created that we could never live up to a set of rules. The Old Testament clearly shows us how He wanted us to live, and because He is perfect, righteous and holy, none of us could ever measure up. So He had already slain Jesus before the foundation of the world, so the sin problem has been taken care of. Look at this...
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
We are saved by grace, God's grace. We are kept by His love. Remember that it is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. (See Rom. 2:4)
Also, remember this...
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!
I want to encourage you today as the Lord Jesus has encouraged me. God is for us. He is with us, not against us. He will never leave or forsake us. The devil is a liar and all he wants to do is accuse you day and night before God and that is why he is called the accuser of the brethren. So do not lose heart. Jesus told us we were going to have troubles in this world. But, He also told us to take courage because He has overcome the world! Be strong, be courageous because the Lord our God is with us wherever we go. Do not get caught up in a "works" mentality, which is bondage. Let yourself be held in the loving arms of grace and mercy - the mercy of God through Jesus Christ our risen Lord and Savior. God has blessed you and I bless you in Jesus Name! Amen!
