Gospel Minute 10: Right with Him
2024-08-25
So much more could be said about how Jesus took us, His enemies, and made us right with Him.
“He hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” (Ephesians 1:6-7). So God accepts us because of Jesus and we have His forgiveness.
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). We have peace with God because of Jesus.
“And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement” (Romans 5:11). There was a breach between God and us, and Jesus Christ repaired this breach.
These things were done by Him, and it is all yours when you believe in Jesus Christ.
Do you know that you are a sinner, and are an enemy of God? Do you see how you are helpless to do anything about it?
Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins? Do you trust that He has risen from the dead?
If you trusted in Christ right now, do you believe He would save you?
If God saves you now, do you see that He would give you eternal life, a life that does not end, and that you would have it immediately?
You contribute nothing to this eternal life; God provided everything you need in Jesus Christ to be saved. There is no work from you, and neither is there any other prophet or personage that assists in this. Trust only that Jesus has received all wrath from God for your sins. The matter is settled. Do you believe Him?
