Jesus' life, a ranson for many!

 As children of GOD and Christ followers, would we be willing to die for anyone?

I am not a very brave person.  In the face of the choice to die or to let someone else die, I am really not sure how I would fare.

And yet Jesus came to earth for one reason, to die for you and I to have eternal life.

His whole life was dedicated to this purpose.  

Can you imagine going through your whole life, never sinning, although being tempted, knowing full well that you are going to die for all the sinful people you will meet?

This is the greatest sacrifice anyone can ever make.  And Jesus not only knew that this was His purpose on earth, but took on humanity, added it to His deity and did this for you and for me.

Now I am not sure about you, but I know how sinful I have been in my life.  It is not a pretty picture.  And I know that I will still sin, albeit that I do not want to sin, nor intend to sin.  But I am human and I know that sin comes so easily.  It just slips in.  The little lie, the little swear word, the unkind thoughts.  All of these things we do, even if we do not want to do them.

But we can be saved from these sins if we will only accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.  If we will accept that we are sinners and if we can ask GOD constantly to forgive us, we can be saved. 

It really is that easy.  Confess Jesus as Lord of our lives.  Admit that we are sinners and believe that Jesus is the Son of GOD.  That is all there is to salvation and eternity in Heaven.

If you have not done so, believe in Jesus, admit that you are a sinner and confess Jesus as Lord today!

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, today I renew my belief in Jesus Christ.  I know that Jesus is YOUR Son and my Redeemer.  I know that Jesus came to this earth, lived a sinless life and then took all my sins onto the Cross of Calvary.  There He was punished for me.  He died and rose on the third day.  He conquered death for me to have eternal life with YOU.  I know that He sits at YOUR right Hand.  I know that without Jesus I cannot get into YOUR presence and live in Heaven with YOU.  I know that I am justified through Jesus.  I humbly thank YOU for YOUR grace in sending me such a great gift as eternal life through the blood of Jesus spilt on that Cross for me.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay faithfully GOD blessed today!
