The only way to be forgiven of our sins is to place our trust in Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches us that God has so much love for the world that He died to save it. Death was not the end Jesus rose from the dead. Through miracles and through rising from the dead Jesus proved He is God. Jesus claimed to be God and proved it by miracles, rising from the dead, and living a perfect life. We have all fallen away from God but we are united to Him when we trust in Jesus. Acts 13:38 says, “Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.” It is through Jesus Christ only that we go to Heaven and the Gospel is the Good News that Jesus saves us from our sins. Praise God for His love. Amen

Challenges
The Holy Spirit helps us to overcome many of the challenges we face. Life is not perfect but with God on our side we are able to experience peace and love. Romans 8:37 says, “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”. God loves us dearly, and He overcame death on the cross. Since Christ rose from the dead we know that since He could do that all things are possible with God. Praise God for who He is. Amen
David & The Giant
When David went to fight against the giant many people thought it would be impossible for him to win. However, with God on his side he was able to win. “When all the men of Israel saw Goliath, they fled from him in great fear. 1 Sam 17:24 BSB”. While everyone fled with fear David was strong in faith trusting in God. This should be an example that even if something seems impossible all things are possible with the Lord. Praise God that all things can be done through Him and that we will overcome. Amen
God Is With Us
We can trust that as Christian’s even when times are challenging God will help us learn from those things. God will make bad things become learning experiences. God will work things out for the better. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” God has a plan and a purpose for us. God created us with purpose and desires to have a personal relationship with us and the only way is through Jesus Christ. Praise God for Jesus Christ and His love for us. Amen
Forgives All Sin
The Bible tells us that all sins can be forgiven. The main sin that can’t would be to reject Jesus which I believe might be the unforgivable sin spoken of in the Bible. However, note that when that sin is mentioned it is because the religious leaders are claiming that Jesus is casting out evil spirits by the power of satan. Jesus says, ” “I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven…”. The Good News we should focus on is the fact of sins all being forgivable. Some would argue that the unpardonable sin can’t be duplicated today because we don’t see Jesus in the flesh so we can’t claim His works were done by satan. Praise God for His grace and ability to forgive all sins. Amen
Knowing Christ
Jesus revealed His power and authority in many ways such as through miracles, healing and rising from the dead. Jesus came to save us from our sins. Salvation is not given through good works, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12”. I am thankful that Jesus gives salvation through the grace of a sovereign God who unites me to Him through faith. When Jesus was praying while He was on earth He wanted everyone to know God and Him personally. “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. John 17:3”. I am thankful that we can know God personally, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5”. It is great to know that Jesus Christ is enough, we don’t need a priest, or friend to intercede on our behalf. All we need is God and Jesus Christ who He sent to pay for our sins. Amen
Body of Christ
1 Corinthians 12 teaches us that believers are part of the ‘body of Christ’, but what does that mean? It, means we are untied in Christ and part of the family of God. The fact He refers to us as His body is because we were made in His image and all believers are one in Christ. May God Bless You, Amen.
Faith Like Children
The Bible teaches that we should humble ourselves in the faith just like children. We are all Children of God through faith in Jesus Christ. In Mark 10:14 Jesus says, “…Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” I think Jesus is telling us in this passage that children often have unwavering faith in things. We should have the same faith, children were determined to seek Jesus. The Kingdom of God is made up of people with faith like children. All we must do is repent and believe and God’s grace is upon us. Praise God for making us like children in faith and saving us. Amen
Somebody
God made each one of us a somebody, we were created to be without sin but the first humans fell away. When Adam and Eve ate of the fruit in the garden sin entered the world. The lie of Satan was that if they eat of it they will become like God. This was only partly true; it did give humankind the ability to know good and evil. However, it did not make them like God as Christ is without sin. Any and all disobedience to God is sin. Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” The Good News is that Christ came to the earth about 2,000 years ago and gave His life so that if we believe in Him we are Saved. When we accept Jesus we are reborn and adopted into the family of God. Praise God for eternal life and the promise of Heaven. Amen
Roman’s Road
The ‘Romans Road to Salvation’ (KJV)
- “As it is written, ‘There is none righteous, no, not one. …
- “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23, KJV) …
- “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23, KJV)
- What does all this mean? 1. It means that we have all sinned. 2. It means that God is perfect and we fall short of His perfection. 3. That if we invite Jesus into our heart and life we have salvation and promise of Heaven after death.
