The world is becoming an increasingly hostile place. There is also a growing hostility towards believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. There are Christians all over our world today that are suffering horribly for their belief in Jesus Christ. Several are put to death for being a Christian. The truth about Jesus Christ is under attack like never before.
We believers in Jesus Christ must stand firm upon the truth of God's Holy Word, the Bible, and the truth of who Jesus is. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and The Life. There is only One Way to the Father and that is through Jesus Christ.
Religion will not save us. Religion is trying to do enough good works to earn God's favor and hopefully enter into Heaven if our good works out weigh our bad. There is a major problem with that way of thinking. There is none of us that I good enough on our own to earn our way into Heaven no matter how much good we do. Our good works will never our weigh our bad.
We have all sinned and fallen short of God's high standards. The Bible tells us that their is no one that does good. We have all been born with a sinful nature and we are all born bent away from God. There is only one God and He reveals Himself in the Holy Bible. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. There is no other God but Him. He is the Creator of all things seen and unseen.
There is only one way to find forgiveness of our sins and that is by placing our faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. God demonstrated His great love towards you and I by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, into this world to live a perfect sinless life and He died on the Cross shedding His blood for our sins. We must come to Jesus and confess that we are sinners and receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
Jesus rose from the dead on the third day to show us that He is indeed God. He is at the right hand of the Father and one day He will return and establish the Kingdom of God upon the earth in full completion. God doesn't want anyone to perish or go to hell and be eternally separated from Him, but many unfortunately will reject the truth of Jesus Christ.
The Lord loves you and wants to have a relationship with you and that is only available through Jesus Christ. God invites us to come to Him and know Him and more importantly be known by Him. Everyone is invited to come to faith in Jesus Christ. No matter where you live and no matter what you have done. God is willing to forgive your sin and give you a place in Heaven, but only if you come to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.
There world is growing darker and more hostile. We believers in Jesus Christ must stand firm upon our beliefs in Him and be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live for Him each and everyday. Come to the Lord Jesus Christ right know if you haven't done so and make Him your Lord and Savior.
If you have already I would like to encourage you to keep praying and calling out to the Lord. Keep loving Him and trusting Him for all things are possible with God. Keep reading the Bible. Keep persevering as you run the race of faith while focused upon the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lord,
We praise Your Name.
You are Holy.
Thank You for all that You have done and all that You do for us.
I uplift those Christians that are facing persecution.
Strengthen them.
Lead us and guide us by Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
