"They Got It All"

"They got it All."  Those must be the most precious words a cancer patient hears.  There are so many people I know right now who are going through the terrible, scary, anxious battle of cancer.

As I was reading my bible this morning, I received a text from one of those people saying "Had the CT scan yesterday, so hopefully will know soon if they got it all."  I said a quick prayer that this person receives those precious words soon.

As I started reading again this was the verse I read.  Colossians 2:11 "When you came to Christ, you were circumcised, but not by a physical procedure.  Christ performed a spiritual circumcision-the cutting away of your sinful nature."

I immediately thought of the procedure when they are removing cancer.  They go in and cut away the cancer cells, and then they biopsy to see if they are at clean cells.  If not they go in and remove more and biopsy again until they reach clear, cancer free cells.

When God saved me he removed all my sins past, present, and future.  With one cut, Christ's death on the cross, God "Got It All".  Those words should be just as precious to me as they are a cancer patient.

Those words to a cancer patient are really life giving.  Life can go on for them.  The fear of death so close, is suddenly lifted.  I thankfully have never had to personally receive those words, but I can only imagine the freedom and relieve you must feel.

I have received these words from my heavenly Father though. Your sins are forgiven.  That assurance that my sins are no more.  The fear of death lifted, but more importantly the freedom that comes in knowing Christ died for all my sins past, present and future.  The freedom in knowing that I can live in freedom and relieve.  Jesus did that for me.

If you have never heard those words "I paid it All",  private message me for more details.  Or find a good church in your area where the gospel is preached.  If you are in my area join me Sunday morning 10:15 AM Redemption Church.  "Jesus paid it all, He got it all."
