We Need Jesus

We are living in a dark and wickedly sinful world.  When we look at the world these days we can see that everything seems to be coming apart at the seams.  People will point fingers at one political party or another.  Some will blame one people group and so on and so forth.  The true problem of the world lies within every person's heart.

We are all born into this world with a sin nature.  Our hearts at bent away from God.  We are born spiritually dead.  There are many people walking around us and they seem to be alive physically, but they are actually spiritually dead because they are still in their sin.

The Bible tells us that we have all sinned and we have all fallen short of God's glory.  There is no one that does good and we have all gone astray.  We are all deserving of being placed in a literal hell for all eternity.

Thankfully, God made a way for each one of us to have forgiveness of our sins and a place in Heaven.  God sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ into this world to live a perfect and sinless life and die on the Cross for our sins.  In order to be welcomed into Heaven we must be born again.  We need to recognize that we are sinners and we must repent of our sins and confess them to Jesus.  We need to receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  We need to trust in the finished work that Jesus Christ accomplished on the Cross for us when He shed His blood for us.  Jesus took the punishment that you and I so rightly deserve.

When we come to faith in Christ the Holy Spirit comes to indwell within us.  The Holy Spirit will work in our hearts to make us more like Jesus and that will continue throughout our lives here on earth and it will be completed when we enter in to Heaven when we see our Lord Jesus with our very eyes.

There is still hope for our world.  There is still hope for our family, friends, and co-workers.  The hope that we have is Jesus Christ.  He is the One that the world needs.  We need Jesus.

Lord,
We praise Your Name.
We need You Lord Jesus.
Thank You for all that You have done for us on the Cross Lord Jesus.
Thank You that One Day You will return to the earth.
I pray that many other people will come to know You Lord as their Lord and Savior.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.
