TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: “Though we ourselves are overwhelmed by our sins, you forgive them all.” Psalm 65:3 —– ” So we receive God’s promise of freedom only believing in Jesus Christ.” Galatians 3:22
TODAY’S MESSAGE: Sin is everywhere. This world became sin when God threw the devil out of heaven. When you and I were born into this world we were born into the sin of the world. We were born sinners. Our make-up is that of a sinner and our natural actions consist of sin. Everywhere we go and whatever we do we have the ability and the desire to sin. Sin is who we are. However, our God in heaven loves us so much that he has given each of us a solution to our sinful problems. It was not without sacrifice that God gave us the chance at a new nature. Through sacrificing his son, Jesus Christ, he gave us opportunity to receive his nature of love, peace and joy. He gives us the gift of wiping our sins away. When he does so, he forgives them and forgets them as though they never happened in the first place. This is sometimes hard for us to understand. Therefore, he has given us a mission to accomplish. It is one that is easy and hard at the same time. We are to believe with faith in his sacrifice for us. We are to focus on and believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We are to ask him to reside in our hearts and live in us. You may ask, how is that so hard? The answer is that we must believe in something unseen and not seen. We must develop a faith that is so strong that our lives reflect the love of Jesus. Our lives must reflect his joy and his peace. We must display his characteristics in good times and hard times. When a family member is sick, we must believe that God will take care of them. When we lose our job, we must believe that our God in heaven has his hand in the situation. When a disastrous destroys all of our earthly possessions we must believe that the Lord is in control. Our beliefs must be so strong that our lives gravitate to his ways and thoughts and not to those of this world. Our Lord loves us and will never disappoint us. When he closes one door, he opens another. We must believe that we receive and take action on those beliefs. We are overcomers of the evils of this world through the life and death of Jesus. Sin has no rule over us if we stay focused and believe! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
