The eyes of the Lord cannot look on sin. (Habukkuk 1:13) The
only possible way for God to see us, to be in relationship with us, is through
His Son, Jesus Christ. Because of our sinful natures, there is no way for God
to reach us or for us to reach God. He is pure. He is holy. He is righteous. He
is truth. He is light.
Jesus, fully man
and fully God, lived the sinless life that is impossible for each one of us.
Imagine God stepping down from heaven and living and dying for us. Not only did
He suffer a painful death, He carried each of our sins, all of our diseases,
all of the violence, all of it, on Himself. The agony on that cross is beyond
anything any of us will suffer in our lifetimes.
What does He ask of
us in return for His great sacrifice? To believe He did it. It is a free gift.
Why will so many turn away? Why do we try so hard not to believe? Satan’s
schemes and deceptions are alive and well and will increase until Christ’s
return. Stay faithful. Stay watchful. Stay in relationship with Jesus. God sees
us through the lens of Christ. His righteousness became ours and God sees us as
blameless! Hallelujah. Praise His holy
name.
Therefore,
since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our
Lord, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1
Father,
How can we thank You for sending Jesus in our place? His death
and resurrection give us eternal life, with Your grace and through our faith.
It is so simple. Yet many do not understand. Help us, as Your sons and
daughters, to spread the good news of this free gift of life.
In Jesus name,
Amen
