Known By God

Sometimes we may feel lost and all alone in this busy crazy world.  We may feel lonely and misunderstood.  We may even wonder if anyone cares for us and what we are going through.  Many people feel weighed down by life's problems and troubles.  Some people try to fill the emptiness in their hearts with drugs, alcohol, or something else, but none of those things work.

Some of those things may seem to be fun and they may seem like they help at first, but that is just a part of the enemies lie.  Eventually the person will feel trapped and entangled in those things that they will have a really hard time escaping the pull of those things.

There is only One that can fill that empty void that a person feels in their hearts and that is God alone.  We need a relationship with God and that is only available through Jesus Christ.  We have all sinned and we have all fallen short of God's high standards.  We can't save ourselves and we can't keep ourselves saved.

God sent Jesus into this world to die on a Cross for our sins.  We must repent of our sins and receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior in order to be saved.  When we come to know Christ as Savior our sins are forgiven and we are sealed with the Holy Spirit who comes to dwell within us.  When we place our faith in Jesus we come into a relationship with God and we know God.  We are also known by God which is a wonderful thing to comprehend.  When we were sinners we were strangers to God, but when we come to know Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we have the right to be known as children of God.

I am thankful that I am God's child through my faith in Jesus Christ.  There is nothing that I can do to earn God's favor and there is nothing I can do to save myself because I am sinful man.  Thankfully, God made a way for all of us to have our sins forgiven and to have a home in Heaven through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

We can be known by God through our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  This should make us want to shout praises unto the Lord our God.  Praise the Lord!

Lord,
Thank You for allowing us to be known by You through Jesus.
We praise Your Name.
Empower us to live for You through the power of Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
