God’s love

Romans 5 ESV – 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from othe wrath of God. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

While we know that Jesus died for our sins because God loved us, Jesus actually died for all mankind. God’s love was and is for everyone. He died for us while we were yet sinners, and that means He died for everyone else. The atonement and forgiveness of our sins are available for everyone. Salvation is a gift from God. It is by His grace. Mankind on our own, we can not gain salvation. Never a question of good deeds as we are all tainted by the original sin of Adam. Thus, the Second Adam (Jesus Christ) was required to rectify the situation and reconcile us back to God.

As much as the work has already been done, mankind still needs to take the step of faith to accept Jesus into our lives as our Lord and Saviour. This is because individually, we are justified by our faith in Jesus Christ. Everyone needs to come to God through Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).

The question this morning is, have you personally accepted Jesus Christ into your hearts as Lord and Saviour? If you haven’t, say the sinner’s prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I know that I have sinned, and I repent from my sins. I thank you for sending Jesus Christ, your one and only beloved Son to die for my sins, and reconcile me back to You. I believe that Jesus died for me and rose again 3 days later. I accept Jesus Christ into my life and heart as my Lord and Saviour. I want to trust and follow Jesus for the rest of my life. In Jesus’s most precious name, I pray, Amen!

Share with others the Good News and guide them through the sinner’s prayer if they believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins and rose again and was victorious over sin and death. We all need to be on the road of righteousness that leads to eternal life! We all need to begin this journey to fulfil God’s plans and purposes for our lives! Amen!
