“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
Everyone, you, me, friends, family, coworkers, our favorite celebrities, the politicians we vote for, all the people we look up to, everyone does not and can not meet God’s Holy standard. All have sinned, all still sin, and all will continue to sin.
“For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23(a))
God has judged sin. God has made known the penalty and just consequence for all our past, present, and future sins! Not just a physical death, which, because of sin, we will all physically die and go and stand before God, but also the spiritual death and eternal penalty and just consequence of Hell.
You can’t save yourself. What are you going to say on that day you are standing before God Almighty, the eternal Creator of all things, who is perfectly Holy and Righteous; who you’ve greatly, eternally, offended with your sins, your unholiness, imperfection, and unrighteousness?
But, God, knowing all this, knowing YOU, has provided YOU the perfect solution:
“But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23(b))
Because we can’t save ourselves, God provides us the solution, as a gracious GIFT, the GIFT of God. This gift is ONLY received through Jesus Christ. Because Jesus Christ is the only one who can be the perfect solution for all our past, present, and future sins!
“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8)
Christ died for you, while you are living in sin. Doing things that are shameful, hidden, in secret; all those things you regret in you past. All the things you feel stuck doing now, and all the sins that you will commit in the future: God saw it all and Jesus died for them all.
Jesus paid the price for all that you’ve done, doing, and will do. Jesus took it for you on your behalf, so you wouldn’t have to pay the price for all the things you could never make right.
Because of sin, you, me, everyone, can never do enough “good”
Jesus Christ lived the life that we can not. He was perfect for us. He was sinless for us. He paid the price of sin, for us. He rose from the dead paying off the sinful debt held to our account, freeing us from our slavery to sin, to be able to truly SEE him, to KNOW him, to LOVE him, to follow him, to trust and believe in HIM.
God’s GRACE, his unearned, unmerited FAVOR, is greater than anything and everything you have ever done and will ever do. God’s grace is sufficient for all eternity. And he is offering this grace to you.
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9)
God WILL save you from yourself and from his perfect justice and wrath for your all your sins. MAKE peace with God Almighty today! Accept his GIFT of eternal life with him through faith in the PERSON and WORK of Jesus Christ! God’s only Son, the perfect, righteous, and glorious Lamb of God.
“For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13)
Repent of your sin and CALL OUT to Christ Jesus! Trust in him that He is the only one who can cover all your sins. Believe in him that He is the only one who can give you HIS righteousness.
Call on him, believe in him so that when God sees you, he sees his SON, Christ Jesus, the Son of God, in you!
“There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1)
Live a forgiven life! Live IN the grace of God Almighty. Know without a doubt that Jesus can completely take away ALL your sins, pay your debt to sin, pay your just consequence for all your sin, make you ALIVE and FREE to LOVE God through Christ Jesus who is Lord and Savior.
Come! Come to Christ Jesus now! Let us pray with you. Let us glorify him together for all that he has done, while we were yet sinners! Come!
Let us know what you think!
