God is holy, and he will not be associated with sin. All people are sinful and all sin deserves punishment. Instead of punishing us with the death we deserve. Jesus Christ took our sins upon himself and paid the price for them with his own death. Now we can joy in God,

Through faith in his works we can become the children of God, rather than enemies and outcasts.

While we were yet sinners (Romans 5 v 8) God sent Jesus Christ to die for us, because he loved us so much. We were helpless because we could do nothing on our own to save ourselves. Someone had to come at exactly the right time-he also came according to God’s own schedule. Remember, God controls all history and future.

Therefore whenever you feel uncertain about God’s love for you, remember that he loved you even before you turned to him. The love that caused Christ to die is the same love that sends the Holy Spirit to live in us and guide us every day. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is the same power that saves you and me, is available in our daily life.

Just as you can pray for forgiveness, you can also pray for God’s power and love as you need it. Be assured that having begun a new life with Christ, you have a reserve of power and love to call on each day for help to meet every situation and challenge.

The Bible parallels our spiritual journey through life. It begins by presenting us with two roads or choices- the way to life and the way to death. If we choose God’s way, we will have eternal life and reign with him. If we do not choose God’s way, we will become servants of Satan and will be destroyed in Hell with him.

If we choose God’s way to life whilst on the earth, you will still experience blessings, troubles, joy, grief, successes and obstacles. Our inward attitude becomes an outward expression. When we praise God, we help ourselves by expanding our vision of who he is:-

-          A rock that can’t be penetrated by anyone or anything.

-          A fortress or place of safety where the enemy can’t follow.

-          A buckler or shield that comes between us and harm.

-          A horn of salvation, a symbol of might and power.

-          A tower high above our enemies.

You can have a close relationship with Jesus Christ, by trusting in him alone to save you from the curse (Sin) that has fallen on all mankind. In fact when you confess your sins and receive him into your heart, God gives you the right to become His child.

“Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1 v12)  

Dear reader, if you haven’t done so already, is there any good reason why you cannot receive Jesus Christ into your heart right now? If you are willing to let go of your burdens, sin and if you want to repent, you can receive Jesus as your Lord and saviour right NOW! At this moment you can pray this most important prayer of your life.

Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God.

I believe you come to earth. I believe you died for me on the cross and shed your blood for my salvation. I believe you rose from the dead and ascended on high. I believe you are coming back to earth.

Dear Jesus, I am a sinner. Forgive my sins, cleanse me now with your precious blood. Come into my heart, save my soul. Right now I surrender, the best I know how. I give you my life. I proclaim you the Lord of my life, my saviour, my God.

Today I declare I no longer belong to Satan. I belong to Jesus. God Almighty is my heavenly Father, Jesus Christ my saviour, the Holy Spirit, my comforter. And I proclaim that I am yours forever, washed in your blood, and I am born again. Amen.
