Does This concern you?
“For all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
This verse means that everybody has sinned. Me, you, Gorge, everybody has sinned. We were born in sin and we’re born sinners. We all have broke God’s perfect and Holy (and totally fair) Law. Most of us agree that it is perfectly right and true. We should not murder, we should not steal, we should not lie in anyway, shape or form, we should not disobey or disrespect our elders and authorities, we shouldn’t cuss (especially not use His Name as a cuss word) ect.
Now we all know that we all have lied at some time in the past or said something that was not totally accurate. And a good portion of us have cussed. Everybody has sassed their parents at least once… Need I say more?
Do you know the consequence of sin? One word, Death. “For the wages of sin is death…” Romans 6:23. That is physical death and spiritual death. Pretty tough payment to make, huh? We can’t pay for our sin by doing good deeds, going to church, or living a good life. Sin places a wall between us and God, and there is nothing that we can do to get it out of the way. We can’t go over it, under it around it or “good deed” it down. We can’t do a thing.
Breaking God’s Law is a criminal offense, and under His totally fair Laws the penalty required is death.
God absolutely HATES sin, but really loves the sinner.
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:8
He really does NOT want us to die. He loved us soooo much that He sent His only Son to die in our place.
“For God so loved the World, that He gave His only begotten son; that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Jesus, God’s son, took all of our sin and shame upon Himself, so we would not have to take it all. He took all of our lies upon himself. He took all our cussing upon Himself. He took all our disrespect of our parents upon himself. He took and paid our death debt. But He rose again so that we could receive this gift given to us.
Our sin, our filthy rags, He took and put upon himself, so that we might be made clean. He made a way to tear down that wall of sin between us and God. There is no other way to the Father except through Jesus. All we have to do is except that He did this for us, ask His for-giveness, and allow Him to work in our lives. The death debt you still will owe, unless you ask His for giveness and allow Him into you’re heart.
Will you allow Jesus, the son of the most high God, into you’re life today? He loves you so much and He wants you to ask him in to you’re life.
Do you want to know how to ask Him?
You simply bow you’re head and with you’re heart, cry out to God for His mercy and forgiveness.
“Dear God. I humbly come before You asking for you’re forgiveness. I know that I have sinned and that I deserve to die, but You sent you’re son Jesus to die for me, so that I might live. Please forgive me of my sins. Jesus, come into my heart. I love you and need you in my life.
Thank you for coming to earth to die for my sins and thank you for coming into my life, dear Jesus.
Amen”
If you prayed that prayer with a whole heart and you really meant it, then you are new born Christian!
“Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
Now this doesn’t mean that you won’t have troubles in the World, but you will have a peace of heart and mind.
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33
It is wonderful that He has overcome the world and sin!
It is wonderful that you are going to live with Him forever!
You need to read His Word, the Bible, everyday to help you grow spiritually (Start with John or Romans). You also need to find a good church to help you grow and learn and fellowship with other Christians. God Bless!
