--SET FREE FROM GUILT!
---We are incarcerated by our past. We have been found guilty! Our executioner’s footsteps echo against stone walls. We sit on the floor of the dusty cell, awaiting our final moment. We don’t look up as he opens the door. We know what he’s going to say. “Time to pay for your sins.” But we hear something else! “You’re free to go. They took Jesus instead of you!” The door swings open, the guard barks, “Get out.” And we find ourselves shackles gone, crimes pardoned, wondering what just happened? Grace just happened! Christ took away your sins. Romans 3:24 says, “God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us.” What happened? Grace happened!-- "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." --(Ephesians 2:8-9) --"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." -(1 JOHN 1:9) --GRACE/ML~~-- [We must remember we are not saved by works. After we are saved, however, we will want to help spread the Word of God. By email, telephone, letter, text, person to person, etc. We love Jesus and will want to help spread His Word. Remember, Jesus told us "If they hated Me, they will hate you also." The enemy of our soul will try to discourage us, We must say, "The Lord rebuke you, devil." [JUDE 9] Jesus is the Word of God. "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. --(JOHN 1:14) Hallelujah! Jesus paid our sin-debt by dying on the Cross. ]
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
