We can never repay Him, but we can give our life in the pursuit of knowing Him more.
Listen and Believe… He is the Author of salvation, and the Perfecter of our faith.
In the book of John, when
Jesus said, “It is finished,” He meant that whatever debt was owed, was
wiped away. Jesus satisfied divine justice, and our debt was settled to
God, when He died on the cross for our sins. The receipt is nailed to
the cross.
We can never be good
enough, or do anything to earn God’s love. The most amazing thing to me,
is you can never lose His love for you either. He’s always loved us,
even while, “we were yet sinners.” (Romans 5: 8).
The
road to Jesus is not a roundabout road of laws, it is not obeying this,
or that. It starts with a straight road of faith. Just receive,
believe, and become, then you will truly live. "[Many] received him, to them... became the sons of God," (John 1: 12-13). A
sinner, (which we all are by nature) who knows they are a sinner, and in
need of forgiveness, are well on the straight road to Jesus. In Luke, a woman merely touched the hem of Christ's garment, and was made whole.
Believing
by faith, and welcoming Jesus into your heart as Lord of your life, you
are reborn. This starts the change inside of you, changing our
attitudes, desires, and motives. Being born again takes a moment of
faith, but becoming Christ like is a lifelong process.
"We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin." (Romans 7: 14-25NIV). No one in the world is innocent, not one of us deserves to be saved -
not the person who doesn’t know God’s laws - and not the Christian
who does, and tries to keep them. We all have the ability to make
excuses for what we do. Never underestimate the power of sin. We can
never fight it in our own strength. Jesus is our only hope. He is God’s
provision for victory over sin. And when we fall, He lovingly reaches
out to help us, again, and again. We must depend totally on Christ for
our salvation. Once you truly have accepted Jesus as Lord of your life,
you’ll know something is different about yourself. What breaks God’s
heart, will break yours. You can never lose your salvation.
Do you think we owe God anything? I believe I do, and that is to love Him with all my heart, mind, body,
and soul. "We are debtors," to God’s grace, (Romans 8: 9-15), and forgiving mercy. To God, I
owe my life.
There will never be a “Greater Love” than “Abba Father”
Believe by faith.
