When we think of the great men in the bible, there are certain ones that come to mind. Names like Samson, Moses, Abraham, Jacob, Noah, and so on. But I think of those men like us. Just everyday men who were called by Jesus to be His disciples. Men like Paul who became His apostles, and all others after them who preached the word without fear. Teaching the gospel of Christ to everyone who would hear. The gospel of Christ is about salvation, the grace of God given freely to anyone who wants it. Total forgiveness of sin and a new life blemish free.
This same truth is preached today and is still available for all who want to be free from their past. Those who desire to be different and have peace in their lives. Anyone who wants to change, to have a new life that is not soiled by past mistakes. Those mistakes and sins follow us but do not have a hold on us anymore. Paul dealt with his past, persecuting Christians and his desire to remove them from this world was his thorn. But by the grace of God, he was free from that, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
ROMNAS 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
We can have a life free from our old selves as he did. We can live in the light of Jesus and please God the Father. We can be lifted from the grime of sin and made clean as pure as snow if we turn to our savior. Remember, He had one purpose to come and die, that purpose was to offer redemption and salvation to all who will turn to Him. It really is just that simple. Most people have a bible, but it is seldom opened. God’s own words are there. His offer of peace between man and Himself is there. His promises to those who are His are in there. Don’t take my word for it, just read for yourselves. I would say don’t take anyone’s word for it, read and know God for yourself. Reach out and take the redemption offered by the Lord and see the change in your life.
MALACHI 3:10
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and put Me to the proof now herewith,” saith the LORD of hosts, “if I will not open to you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Give yourself to God through Jesus and see the blessings fall upon you. God will take special care for His children as He promises.
Matthew 7:11 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!" [1]
The life the Lord will give you is like awakening to a clear beautiful day after a night of storms. This wicked life we have lived will be gone, the brightness of your new life will be amazing and it is all a gift from God. No man can give this to you, only God Himself. This gift is from the great love of God that He has for you. God Himself, the creator of all that is, loves each of us in a way we can’t understand, but it is real.
If you haven’t yet, reach out to the Lord, accept Christ and believe with all you being, be accepted by Him and live this new wonderful life. AMEN.
