MESSAGE
During this past decade, we have seen a huge increase of the use of Executive Pardons. In years past, the majority of pardons were issued toward the tail-end of a term of service. Other occasions where the mercy of pardons might increase have historically been connected to major holidays such as Christmas. The past decade we have seen sky-high numbers, masses of pardons being cranked out with one political party seemingly trying to out do the other side through pardon volume.
A pardon is a government decision to allow a person to be relieved of some or all of the legal consequences resulting from a criminal conviction. A pardon may be granted before or after conviction for the crime, depending on the laws of the jurisdiction. -{Wikipedia} Pardons were invented in the Bible; For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age. {Titus 2:11-12 NASB}
In bible history, pardons were known as MERCY, or FORGIVENESS coming from God; Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance. {Psa 89:15 NKJV}
Further, in the New Testament, the word SALVATION comes to mind.
In some of the old Puritan Daily Readings, from c. 1558-c. 1758, Scottish Editor Randall Pederson writes, "Pardon sweetens all mercies. [While] Other mercies are a ring, but Pardon is the diamond in it". According to the Scottish PDR --"I have temporal mercies AND A PARDON TOO!"
Western churches today are filled with what I call "Secular-Christians". Tender souls that have said the prayer, agreed with the words, got the T-SHIRT but never opened their heart to receive the PARDON and experience true change that can only come from God Himself. Its like wearing a diamond-less ring, its only for show. Pray for them! Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have compassion on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly Pardon. {Isa 55:7 NASB}
We all, everyone of us, remain today as convicted capital sinners. This world is full of sin laden folks who have been granted, by God's grace, a full unrestricted PARDON that once and for all time, releases us from the Eternal Sentence of Execution passed down to us by Adam and cleans us of our sins.
SUMMARYThe Father of all has offered this gift of grace, this SALVATION, to everyone who will call the name of His only begotten Son, JESUS the CHRIST by confessing with the mouth that JESUS is LORD. Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in unchanging love. {Mi 7:18 NASB}
Our Lord granted every human soul on this planet a full pardon through salvation in Jesus the Christ. We are saved by Grace alone, in Faith alone, through Jesus alone, according to Holy Scripture, all for the Glory of God alone.
(PDR): "For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved (pardoned) by His life."
{Rom 5:10 KJV}
[Jesus] was crucified to death on the cross, and rose following three days to resurrected life anew, taking His rightful seat to the right hand of Almighty God! And that HE, JESUS, is returning as KING of KINGS; His arrival is very close.
Have you received the DIVINE PARDON? Has your eternity already begun? If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. {1 Jn 1:9 NASB}
Quoting now from the Puritan Daily Reader (PDR) "Pardon sweetens all afflictions. A frown with a pardon is better than a thousand smiles without it."
CLOSING PRAYER
Forgive us O' Mighty Father as we repent for being lax in giving thanksgiving to You for the gift of Grace and of pardon in the manner of salvation. Let us be humble and attentive before Your throne, as we put to use that which You have given us, wisdom, courage, stamina, boldness, patience and love. And for the greatest of gifts, that of Your forgiving heart in the name of Jesus, AMEN.
DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, Ye heaven-ly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Waste no time in finding like minded folks, to fellowship with, who also know the lord Jesus. Be introduced to a church that preaches the BIBLE. Email me. Begin the journey that you will never tire of; the discovery of the Majesty, Beauty and loving Power of Jesus the Christ. Welcome to the family!
