The Gospel of Christ is the most beautiful story ever told. It brings light to eyes that once once were darkened by sins curse. It sets captives free and restores a heart tainted by the world that has nothing lasting to offer.
The Gospel is the joy of Christ Jesus, for it is His story, His epic, into which He stepped into humanity, fully God and fully man to save the world.
God, saw fit to send His son Jesus, to die for sinful humanity, not out of anything that we had done, but truly, only by His mercy.
Jesus, was the first real superhero. No cape, but a little walking on water.
Jesus Christ offers life for you and me. One of the greatest deceptions in this world is that you are "numero uno", that you can handle life and that you don't need God. God is just your cosmic genie for whom you pray to when life is difficult, or when you really need something. You add him onto your life and if you have time then you'll squeeze him in when its convenient for you.
No, the gospel requires a sacrifice. We are in a war against Satan and sin and God is calling for warriors, devoted to the cause of Christ to join Him in fighting and ultimately, winning this war.
Unless, you have fully committed your life to this gospel that saves wretched sinners like me, you will never experience a truly regenerated heart and Jesus will not confess you to His Father when you stand before Him. Jesus tells says, "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.- Matthew 7:21-22
Repent I say, for the Kingdom of God is here. A Savior has come. He offers true and everlasting life. He desires that you would turn from your sin and turn towards Him. He is asking you to follow Him, but He will not force you. Jesus Christ is who you were created to know, He beckons to you, come home.
Thanks for sharing your love and passion for Our Savior. Your words are true and inspiring. They help to dust off the complacency this world puts on us. Keep up the good fight victorious warrior.
