If somebody wins the lottery, she is not going to be silent about it...she is going to shout it from the housetops, most likely! She would have a tough time holding in the joy that she feels as that moment. She just received "good news", especially if she had overdue bills, a house in forclosure, and was in need of some cash.
In the same vein, we as believers have the BEST news possible; that our sins are forever forgiven, we have new LIFE in Christ, we have a heavenly home to go home to one day, we have access by our faith to healing, deliverance, comfort, acceptance, provision, love beyond measure, PEACE, did I say unconditional LOVE? We have so much in Christ!
In this time coming up to the Celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus, let's remind ourselves of how much we have to be thankful for. We were once dead in our trespasses and sins; Jesus came and gave us LIFE. Life eternal. Life to live forever with Him. And that life starts here and now.
We are so blessed!
If you haven't yet found LIFE in Christ,
you can pray the following prayer and receive Him today.
God, I realize my need for you today.
I know that I can't do it.
I can't be in charge of my own life.
I want to make the great exchange with you.
My life for Your life.
Jesus, I know that you came as a Man to redeem me; to save me.
You died on the cross, forever removing my sin.
You were raised from the dead to give me new life
and You are now seated at the right hand of God.
Come in Holy Spirit and live in me.
Take my life. I know I'll never be the same.
Thank you for saving me!
Thank you for loving me!
