FREEDOM FROM SLAVERY (HE PURCHASE A NAME FOR US BY SACRIFICE)

Philippians 3:8(And being found in fashion as a man, he humbles himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow of things in heaven, and things in earth and things under the earth).

Ephesians 3:14(For the cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named).

A slave does not have a surname; they only take the name of their master. As soon as they are sold into slavery, they are strip of all they have including their names. That’s how bad it is. They enter into bondage with a new identity their master gave them.  It does no matter whether they are prince or princess before they were sold into slavery; the same chain and the same treatment for all no preferential treatment. Adam was named by God; God created him in His likeness and breathed upon him that makes him his father; so he carried God’s name as his surname. Ephesians 3:15(Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named). After Adam encountered Satan, he lost the right to use his surname and enter into slavery and was chase out of his palace. Jesus Christ came to redeem us and reconcile us to God by sacrificing himself because someone needs to pay the price for me and you to get our surname back. Before he could do that he needed to add value to his own name and earn God’s respect. God announces to his disciples twice that Jesus Christ is his son (Matthew 3:17, 17:5). It is one thing to call God our father but it is another thing for God to accept us as his sons and daughters by pronouncing it from his mouth. It takes sacrifice to get to that level. You will get there in Jesus name. Jesus got his name by humility and obedience. He humbles himself and obeys God unto death. It takes humility and obedience of faith in his name for us to be able to add value to our own name. His name is not cheap. Nothing good comes cheap; your adversary (Satan) will make it difficult for you to get the right to use the name of Jesus because he knew that if you have access to the name, you will be free from his captivity. The name of Jesus means freedom; chains of slavery are broken at the mention of his name. His name nullified poison (Matthew 16:18). The only name that Satan and his agent bow to, so to be a son and daughter of the most high God and boldly use the name of God as your Father; you need to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior. He that is born of the Spirit is spirit (John 3:6). The name of Jesus is our ticket that we need to present to receive the right to call God our father. John 1:12 (But as many as received him, to them gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name).

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
