Yeah. Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. His spirit answers to the blood. But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. ROMANS eight eleven.
The fourth verse of Arise, My Soul, Arise speaks of God the Father answering the request of God the Son and granting salvation to a repentant sinner, adopting him into his family. The Father hears him pray, his dear anointed one. he cannot turn away the presence of his Son. His Spirit answers to the blood, And tells me I am born of God. As Christ the Messiah hung on Calvary's tree, God the Father turned away.
Unable in his holiness to look upon Christ as he bore the sins of many. Jesus cried in his agony, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? But once God's righteous justice was satisfied, The Father turned back and answered Christ's prayer even from the horns of the altar, as it were. I and my Father are one, Christ has said. and once sin's penalty was paid, there would be no more separation.
And when a sinner comes to God claiming the blood of Christ as a full payment for his sins, and Christ himself prays for the sinner's full forgiveness and acceptance, The Father cannot turn away, for He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4.10. In our texts, The same spirit that raised up Christ grants the spiritually dead sinner new life. and declares him to be born of God. Marvel not that I say unto thee, ye must be born again, literally born from above.
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the Lord. the sons of God.
