“We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.” Romans 3:22
” For everyone has sinned, we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous through Christ Jesus when he freed us of the penalty of sin.” Romans 3:24
Keys have been used in the bible for thousands of years as a symbol of authority and power. They were sometimes made of bronze or iron, and so large that one was as much as one man could carry. When someone was entrusted with a key, it signified that they were being trusted with an important charge. Keys are used today as the mechanism to open and close important things that are being kept safely behind closed doors. Keys were used in Revelation (1:18; 3:7,8) as the Lord’s authority over his church, or to one of his messengers to whom is given power over those in the “Abyss” (20:1). He as the key is the very existence of our Lord Jesus. Faith is the master key that cause all of the other keys to work. God has given us a key that will make us right with God. This key is faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We must balance our lives each day upon the faith that we build toward our belief in Jesus and what he stands for. We must believe the meaning of his death on the cross and that he still continues to be the master key in today’s world. Yes, we are all born sinners. Yes, we continue to make mistakes in our lives and sometimes fall flat on our faces. However, what do we do when these circumstances happen to us? Do we think only of how strong and smart we are and try to fix things on our own? Or do we look upward to our Lord and ask for his help? Do we use the master key that we have been blessed with or do we put ourselves through anxiety, doubts, fears and worries, all of which are sins themselves. When Jesus accepted the assignment as the master key from God in heaven, he accepted the great assignment of dying for you and me. He took on our sins so that we don’t have to live each day as lowly and sinful. What we have to do is believe. We must continue in our ritual of prayers, our positive outlook with Jesus and live our lives in joy and peace of mind. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
Romans 3:22
