| The Truth is that sin has
caused a separation between God and humankind. No
matter how hard we try, no matter how good we try to
be, we still fall short. That is why, as Abraham
foretold
"...God will provide Himself a
lamb..."
(Genesis 22:8)
"Behold the Lamb of God who
takes away the sin of the world."
(John 1:29)
Abraham who twice offered his wife to a foreign king
-- this same Abraham is called "righteous". How?
Why?
"And he believed the LORD; and He counted
it to him for righteousness." (Genesis 15:6)
So then, righteousness before
God does not come from anything we do but, rather,
from faith. We must have faith that He has provided
for our redemption and have faith in that
redemption.
Messiah has come, and His name is Jesus; in
Hebrew it's Yeshua, and it means "salvation". He
came
first as our sacrifice. He will come again to reign
as King.
The
Truth is that Almighty God loves you so much that He
sent His Son to pay the price for your sin that you
might be reconciled to Him. It is His gift to you;
you need only receive it.
For the wages of sin is death but
the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ
our
Lord." (Romans
6:23)
"Behold, I stand at
the door, and knock: if anyone hears My voice, and
opens the door, I will come in to him..."
(Revelation
3:20)
Will you let Him in?
All you have to
do is ask Him.
"...if you shall
confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall
believe in your heart that God has raised Him from
the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man
believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confesses unto salvation."
(Romans 10:9,
10)
the Life
Just pray something
like this:
Lord God, I believe that you have sent
your Son, Jesus Christ, as the sacrifice for my
sins. That he died for me but now lives that I may
have eternal life through Him. Jesus, I accept and
receive You as my Lord and Savior. Come into me now
that I may be born anew and have life everlasting.
Amen.
My prayer for you is that you do receive Jesus. He
is the Way, theTruth, and the
Life. Amen
