Hebrews 9:28

The penalty of sin results in a debt that we all owe. And knowing that not one of us has the ability to pay on our own, Jesus Christ came. He came to become the only sacrifice acceptable to God and stamp our debt paid in full. With His death on the Cross, Christ provided to everyone that would believe on His name, the gift of eternal life. And now Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father waiting until it’s time to come once again. This time, Jesus returns not to offer salvation, but to come for His beloved bride. To call home those who eagerly have waited for His return. Oh how I long for that glorious day, and I cry, “Maranatha!” Come soon Lord Jesus!

Acts 10:34

When it came to salvation, the Jewish people felt pretty special being God’s chosen. For He protected, loved, and picked them above every other peoples in the world. So they were filled with jealousy when Peter proclaimed God’s plan of salvation is available to all, both Jew and Gentile. But it has always been God’s plan from the start that none of His children should perish. For just like John 3:16 tells us, “whoever” receives Christ as their Savior shall be saved. Not just some, not just a few, but whoever. Because in God there is found no partiality. And all who abide in Him in love and obedience, will receive His gift of everlasting life!

Luke 23:43

There is a beautiful lesson we can learn from the two thieves hanging on either side of Jesus. While we are alive, it’s never too late for salvation. Because of His great love, the Lord will never turn anyone away who comes to Him in genuine faith and repentance. Whether declared early in life, or with a last breath, all who confess Jesus as their Savior will enter paradise. For His mercy is so great and His grace so plentiful, Christ accepts everyone who loves Him, regardless of the timing. And no matter who we are, all who put their faith and trust in Him, will receive everlasting life!

Acts 4:12 

Each of us are born with a “God hole”. An emptiness in our hearts and souls that although we try to fill with other things, can only be filled by God. And throughout history people have tried on their own to fill the void in their spirit. They create false religions, false gods, and false salvation. But there is only one road to heaven. And that is through the blood of Jesus Christ. The only begotten Son of God, Jesus willingly left His glorious place in heaven to die for our sins and offer us the gift of eternal life. Any other way is a lie, and a certain path to both destruction and death.

John 10:17

When Jesus died on the Cross, His enemies thought they had won. But instead, the victory is Christ’s alone. For our Savior willingly laid down His life to pay the sin debt we owe and to offer us the gift of eternal life. Fully God and fully man, the Lord had all power and authority at His command. Yet in His awesome love for both us and the Father, Jesus died and remained in the grave for three days before His glorious resurrection! Now the sting of death is gone, scripture is fulfilled, and Jesus is once again at His rightful place at he right hand of God as our great Intercessor!

1 John 4:19

Born sinners and enemies of the Lord, once we had hearts of stone. But because God seeks a close, personal, relationship with us, He gave us the gift of love. Now not only can we love others, but we can love God with all of our hearts, minds and souls. And nowhere is God’s deep affection more evident, than in His love gift of Jesus Christ. Who, because of His death on the Cross, made it possible for us to offer in joy and gratitude to God a now acceptable love. A love made clean by faith in Christ and His righteousness.

Galatians 1:10

The apostle Paul and his teachings were being challenged in Galatia. Yet Paul stood firm, using Christ as his defense. As followers of Jesus, the world will challenge us as well. But we too can stand firm in the truth of the Gospel. For Christians answer not to man, but to God. And the lives we lead and changes we make are for His glory alone. So no matter what people tell us, or how they chastise us, we can find comfort in knowing we aren’t seeking the approval of the world. We are striving to lead lives pleasing to God alone, and trusting Him to handle the naysayers!

Psalm 51:12

Once we accept Jesus as our Savior, we receive the free gift of salvation. And although that salvation can never be lost, the joy of being saved is diminished when we live in unrepentant sin. David loved the Lord, but his sin with Bathsheba affected the relationship between them. And sin affects ours as well. And to bring us back into fellowship with God we need to, like David, confess and repent from our sin. When we do, God is faithful to welcome us back into His loving arms, and fill our hearts with the joy of having a close personal relationship with Him once again!

Romans 5:8

Once we lived in darkness, eternally separated by sin from God. But because of His great love, God refused to leave us in that hopeless condition. So He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to provide reconciliation. Now, because of Christ’s death on the Cross, we are declared innocent and righteous before God. And through the blood of the Lamb, we become adopted sons and daughters in God’s family and heirs to His wonderful promises. And all of this is only possible through the amazing love God has for each and every one of us.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15

Paul deeply loved the Lord. He personally witnessed all that Jesus endured for the sake of each and everyone one of us. Compelled by the self sacrificing love of the Lord, Paul dedicated his life to following God and sharing Christ’s love with the world. And as followers of Jesus, we too should share that same compelling desire. For Jesus died for all. So out hearts of thankfulness for the great love He has shown us, we in return need to have a Christlike love for others. And the greatest way to show that love is to share the Good News of the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
