By His death and resurrection, we are redeemed from etenal seperation form God, justified, made righteous, and accepted in his name.
Jesus, Our HealerA great portion of Christ’s earhly ministry was dedicated to healing the sick. We find no record in the gospels of Jesus turning away anyone who came to him for healing, nor do we find that any disease was too difficult for him to heal. He even raised the dead. Miraculous healings continue today -- evidence that Christ still is our Healer.Christ Our Healer .This symbol represents a pitcher containing oil to anoint the sick for healing that comes through obedience to God’s Word. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up (James 5:15)
Jesus, Our SanctifierSalvation for the believer happens in three tenses. First, in the past tense--we have been justified. Second, in the present tense,we are being sanctifed, made over in the image of Jesus, as described in Romans 8:29. Finally, in the future tense, we will be glorified, according to 1 John 3:2, a process made possible by Christ, our Sanctifier.
Jesus, Our Coming KingClearly, the entire New Testament tells us of the Second Coming of Christ. The Alliance is committed to doing its part to complete Jesus’ Great Commisision before His glorious return. The Crown. Christ Our Coming King. The Crown represents Christ’s royalty as the King of Kings. His coming will be a visable, personal appearance. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven. ( Mark 14:62)
The GlobeCompleting Christ’s Commission, the globe represents our mission in the world. THe Lord has urged His followers as He sent them to spread the Good News throughout the land. That appeal will continur until the gospel, through the efforts of His Church, has reached all peoples, and he comes again. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole worls as a testimony to all mations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14)
