THANK YOU JESUS!
How many Christians fully understand what God's grace towards us really means? When He sent Jesus down here as a sacrifice for the sin of the world He demonstrated His love and His kingdom. When Jesus took our beating and died for our sin and shed His blood to cleanse us from all unrighteousness He did it "once" for "all" of us and the only requirement to receive His forgiveness and grace is to simply "believe."
God's perfect grace is poured out on all of us who receive Jesus as Lord and King. It means that we who believe are set apart from the unbelievers and are grafted in to the remnant of God's chosen people, Israel. Here's what Paul told the Believers and the Jews in his letter to the Romans: "I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile." Romans 1:16
By His grace we are all saved! Not according to our good deeds or obedience to the 'law' because we all fall short when it comes to obedience. Thank God for His mercy and grace! Because with out that we'd all be "toast." Even the Pope would not make the cut because He was born into the same sinful nature as all of us. When we understand that the love of our God and Father is unconditional, it sets us free from guilt and condemnation! Glory to God! Now we can be ourselves and know that we our forgiven for all our sin past, present, and future. Now that's the real "Good News" the "Gospel" message that needs to be preached to the world because anything less would not be such good news. Like if the message was: Stop sinning or you will go to hell! Or, if you don't go to church and pay your tithe God will not let you into the His kingdom. Or, yes, you will go to heaven but first you must be obedient to all the law as written by Moses then you will be saved. Who would make in to heaven if we had to be perfect first? I believe God loves us so much that He made a way for us to be saved from ourselves and hell and that way is JESUS! If we are in Him we are a new creation and the old self died when we first believed, our spirits were born again but our sinful fleshly bodies were not and we are in a constant struggle with our flesh because of Adam. Here's some more of Paul's letter to the Romans: "Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. For just as through the disobedience of one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man the many will made righteous." Romans 5:18-19
Wow! Now that should make a person want to get up and shout, Praise God! If you have not yet received Jesus as your Lord and Savior do it now! Just say this short prayer: Jesus, thank you for shedding Your blood and dying for me on the cross. I believe with my heart and I confess with my mouth that You are Lord and I want You to come into my heart and I make You my Lord and Savior. Thank You Jesus, for saving me! I am saved!..
Now find some where to be baptized and begin your walk with the Lord. It truly is awesome to have a friend like Jesus who sticks to us closer than a brother. Who forgives us all our sins and from Him we can gain the wisdom and power from the promised Holy Spirit.
