Spurgeon's Prayer: Complete Redemption in Christ

When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
— John 19:30 (BSB)

Christ does not leave His work half-finished; He began, and He will finish.
— Charles Spurgeon

Lord Jesus, we praise You for the finished work of redemption. On the cross, You declared, "It is finished," and from Your throne in heaven, You continue to reign as the One who has completed what no one else could. You have led us completely out of bondage, leaving nothing behind. Every part of our redemption is secure in You, and we give all glory to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for the great work of our salvation.

We rejoice that we are no longer in bondage to sin or death. You have raised us from ruin, justified us, and guaranteed us eternal life. We are free, not because of anything we have done, but because of what You have accomplished. Thank You, Jesus, for doing what we could never do for ourselves. Our hearts are full of gratitude as we rest in the assurance that our salvation is complete.

Father, we give You all the glory for raising us to new life. We could never earn or deserve such a gift, but in Your great love, You have justified us through the blood of Christ. We look forward to the day when this salvation will be fully realized at the return of Christ, when we will be raised incorruptible and made perfect in Your sight.

Help us, Lord, to live in the light of this great redemption. May we always remember that our salvation is not the result of our works but of Your grace. Let our lives reflect the joy and peace that come from knowing we are secure in Christ. May we bring glory to You in everything we do, knowing that it is all because of Your finished work. Amen.
