The Impossible Exam
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh; that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1-4 WEB)
There was once a teacher who punished his badly-behaved class of students by giving them an examination full of the world’s hardest questions spanning across all subjects and disciplines.
“Class, if any of you want to be dismissed from class, you must get full marks in this exam. If not, you will have to stay back for detention every day. To give you all an advantage, you may discuss the questions with your fellow classmates.”
Everyone in the class attempted the exam, but even the smartest students had many mistakes. It seemed impossible.
The classmates were all frantically flipping through all the textbooks in the classroom, but it was no use. The questions were just way out of their level.
Just when it seemed that all hope was lost, the teacher said, “Class, I see that you are all trying your very best to work together to do well on the exam. Tell you what—I cannot cancel the exam, but I will join your class as a student and attempt the exam with you. There is no rule against me joining as a student in your class.”
Since the teacher had set the exam based on the knowledge he had, he easily answered all the questions correctly. To whoever wanted to refer to his answers, the teacher allowed them to see and write the same answers.
The students were all overjoyed. One by one, they copied the answers, and handed in their exam papers, scoring full marks. They were finally able to go home. They had learnt their lesson, and decided to be more studious in the future.
——
God gave the children of Israel the Ten Commandments—an impossible exam for mankind. The Law is perfect, holy, and good, but it was weak through man’s sinful flesh.
Whoever wants to be justified through the Law must keep the Ten Commandments perfectly in both word and deed. Anything short of perfection is considered unrighteous. Everyone fails this exam.
Then, God revealed His master plan: Yahweh the Son became a man to take the impossible exam on our behalf.
He lived a sinless life for thirty-three and a half years, and offered up Himself as our atoning sacrifice for sins. The blood He shed at the cross and His death perfectly fulfilled the Law for everyone.
Whoever wants to refer to His answers can just take His answers as their own and get full marks on their exam. When we place our faith in Jesus as Lord, we share in Jesus’ death, resurrection, and become a new creation in Christ. We are finally eligible to go home to our Abba God in Heaven!
It takes humility for a person to admit that he is a sinner that has no hope of deserving salvation by his own works. God is so holy that even one sinful thought can make you unrighteous. Perfection is needed. The way to be saved is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord!

One Sacrifice for Sins Forever
“then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second, by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins, but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God; from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet. For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.” (Hebrews 10:9-14 WEB)
Once for all.
One sacrifice for sins forever.
By one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
The Holy Spirit inspired the writer to repeat the “one sacrifice for sins forever” idea three times.
He must have foreseen that many people would be trying to offer their own additional sacrifices to earn their salvation; that many would be afraid of somehow committing an unpardonable sin and losing their salvation.
Some believers use the same chapter, Hebrews 10, to show how believers can lose their salvation, but actually Hebrews 10 shows us how perfectly saved and forgiven we are.
You have been sanctified and forever perfected by the one-time offering of the blood of Jesus.
To explain it clearer, you have been born again through the Holy Spirit to become a new creature in Christ that still lives in the body of flesh you were first born with.
““Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” (John 5:24 WEB)
Your spirit inside has passed out of death, into eternal life. You can no longer be under the Old Covenant of the Law because you have been set free from it through sharing in Jesus’ death at the cross.
You were also raised from the dead as a new creation in Christ, and you entered into the New Covenant of Grace. This means you are adopted into God’s family as His child, seated with Christ in Heaven. When God looks at you, He sees Jesus because you are a member of His body—you are “in Christ”.
Just as Jesus is seated at the right hand of Abba God, waiting for His enemies to be put under His feet as a footstool, so are you seated there as Him because you are in Him.
The posture we ought to live by is not as the Jesus that was tested by the devil in the wilderness and humiliatingly beaten by men on the way to the cross.
We are now living as the Jesus who is seated in Heaven next to Abba God, far above all principalities, powers, and every dominion in existence.
“and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.” (Ephesians 1:19-23 WEB)
Now what we are waiting for is the last part of our redemption, which is the salvation of our body. When Jesus returns for His saints, our mortal bodies will be transformed into immortal glorified bodies, and our outward perfection will match what has already happened in our spirit. This is what all Christians ought to be focusing on and waiting for. It is our blessed hope!
Declare: “Just like Jesus, I am forever perfected and sanctified, seated at the right hand of Abba God, far above all principalities and powers. I have passed out of death into eternal life, and I am just waiting for Abba God to put every enemy under my feet as a footstool. The last enemy to be abolished is death, and that will happen when Jesus returns, and my mortal body is transformed into an immortal body. I am not waiting for death, but looking forward to eternal life in a new body. Thank You Abba God for this blessed hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen!”
God has equipped us with mighty spiritual weapons in Christ. When we know how to use them, we can emerge victorious over every spiritual warfare. Discover all about this in “Silencing the Serpent”, and also be set free from long-time Satanic strongholds, yokes, and bondages through the revelations and prayers within:

How God Can Bless and Multiply You
“For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself, saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation. In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath; that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil; where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” (Hebrews 6:13-20 WEB)
God wanted Abraham to be absolutely sure that He would bless him, so He swore by Himself.
The truth that is impossible for God to lie and His sworn oath gives us a doubly confident hope of receiving His blessing as the seed of Abraham.
When tough times come, just remember that our God who cannot lie has sworn to bless and multiply you, and He is surely doing it.
Even when the world is floundering and men’s hearts are melting because of fear, we can remain stable and unshaken because Jesus is our anchor. He keeps us in shalom peace and leads us to navigate through any storm.
Right now in Heaven, Jesus our high priest is with the Father, praying for us, representing us before the Father.
Whereas the Levitical priesthood under the Law had curses upon those who disobey God’s laws, Jesus’ priesthood after the order of Melchizedek is one that only bestows blessings.
Melchizedek brought the bread and wine to Abraham, and blessed Abraham. In Christ, we are the seed of Abraham, and we can receive God‘s blessings through the same pattern.
Partaking of the Lord’s Supper is such a precious and important time of our day. As we set aside a minute in our day to proclaim the Lord’s death and what that accomplished for us, we benefit from His victory wrought at the cross.
“The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?” (1 Corinthians 10:16 WEB)
The apostle Paul called it “the cup of blessing”. Could it be that when we partake, we receive the fulfillment of God’s oath to bless and multiply us? I believe so.
The blood and body of Christ are full of divine life, and when we receive that, we experience close fellowship and identification with Him. This means “I am as You are.” Whatever Jesus is, you also become and have.
If you are not already making the Lord’s Supper the highlight of every day, I encourage you to prioritize this token of Jesus’ love, and see what wonderful things happen in your life!
God has given us many powerful spiritual weapons in Christ that destroy Satanic strongholds, yokes, and bondages. In “Silencing the Serpent”, you will discover how to emerge victorious in spiritual warfare, and be finally set free from cycles of defeat that have perpetuated in your life.

Verse 1
Blessed Savior,
Prince of Peace
The One who bore our sin
and shame on a tree
Bled and died at Calvary
Now we reign in life forever,
we are free
Chorus
And we sing Holy,
Holy are You Lord
All the glory to the King
we’re longing for
We cry worthy, worthy
and bow before
All the glory to the Lamb
forevermore
Verse 2
There is Hope
and there is Life
When we look upon
the cross of Jesus Christ
Where all our guilt
on Him was laid
He received our punishment
our debt He paidBridge
You paid it all,
death on the cross
Life from the grave,
and forever You will reign
Verse 3
As we look
to His return
Let His praise be on our lips
His Name alone
For this life
is just the start
Oh His Grace will
lead us straight into His arms
Final Chorus
And we’ll sing Holy,
Holy are You Lord
All the glory to the King
