PJP2 THANKS TEXT 151123 - 1 Corinthians 6:11 (ESV)/(emphasis added/jaj)...."And such were some of you.  BUT you were Washed, you were Sanctified, you were Justified In The Name of The Lord Jesus Christ and By The Spirit of our God."....

I am Thankful that God The Father, in His Plan for Redemption of All mankind Sent His One and Only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and His Holy Spirit to Wash, Sanctify and Justify us despite our true worthiness to be judged for our sinfulness.  If I had nothing else to be Thankful for, This Fact and This Alone would be Enough to Sing His Praise, and Bow in Worship to Him, our God and Savior.  Three overlaying Concepts of our Lord Jesus are Reflected, though unspoken, in 1 Corinthians 6:11 - God's Love, Mercy and Grace for us, through Jesus' Sacrifice and Resurrection provide the Bridge for us to Be Cleansed, Set-Apart, and Guilt-Free.  To Summarize, I am Thankful that By God's Grace we are Reconciled to Him.  Now that is something to be Encouraged By.

Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, I sense Your Moving me to Prayer.  I would offer up yet another Paraphrase of Prayer and Praise from Your Inspired Word, O Holy Spirit, as we find Written in Psalm 86:5-7 and 1 Corinthians 6:11 (ESV)/(emphasis & paraphrase added/jaj)....O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, God our Heavenly Father, for You, O Lord, Are so Very Good and Forgiving to us.  Father God, You are ever Abounding in Steadfast Love to All who Call Upon You.  Holy Spirit, Give Ear, O Lord, to our Prayer.  Lord Jesus, Please Listen to our Plea for Your Grace, that we May Be a Reflection of You in our daily Lives.  Father God, in the day of my trouble we Call Upon You for Your Help.  Holy Spirit Thank You for we Know that in Your Perfect Time You Will Answer us.  Even though, Lord Jesus, You Know full well that because of our sin and selfishness, we are in no way worthy of Your Love for us.  BUT, Praise Your Holy Name, Because of Your Sacrifice and Your Resurrection, You have Washed us Clean of all our sin,  Father God, it is You by Your Grace that we are Sanctified and separated to Be Your children.  Holy Spirit, By Your Power we are Justified In The Name of The Lord Jesus Christ.  Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, Empower and Encourage us to ever Share Your Word with those who do not yet Know You and Your Amazing/Saving Grace.  In Your Precious Name we Lift our Prayers....Amen/Amen....jaj
