When we read the book of John 1 verse 1, we read that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." We know and we accept that the Word was Jesus.
Here again in John 17 verse 17 we read that Jesus asked GOD to sanctify us through the WORD. The WORD being Jesus.
We are made clean of our sins by the blood shed on the cross by Jesus. We are given a chance to have eternal life, not through the shedding of the blood, but by Jesus overcoming death and arising from the dead, in Human Form and ascending into Heaven.
This all sounds very complicated, but it is not. As sinners, (and we are all sinners, born into sin), we need to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and our Saviour. We need to accept that Jesus lived on earth, in Human Form, that He was born of a Virgin mother, that He was crucified (paid for our sins through the shedding of His blood on the cross) and then conquered death to give us eternal life.
How do we accept this? Very simply by accepting with our hearts and minds that this is the Truth. Jesus is the Truth. Jesus is the Light of the world, shining His light on our lives to give us the Grace of GOD. Once we accept this Truth, then we are filled with the Holy Spirit of GOD and then we need to confess our sins to GOD and to humbly ask GOD to forgive us our sins. We then need to forgive those who have sinned against us.
Today let us accept Jesus and ask GOD to fill us with HIS Holy Spirit. Let us confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and we are forever in His debt. He is our Lord and our Saviour. Let us confess our sins and be saved.
Prayer: Heavenly FATHER, save us from ourselves today. We accept Jesus as our Lord and our Saviour. FATHER forgive us for we have sinned. We forgive all those who have sinned against us. In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truly GOD blessed today!
