I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
I Am Found In You

Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Acts 13:38 NIV
I like to leave you with thoughts that encourage and challenge you; that lift you up and make you whole. My goal is to expand upon the Word of God in such a way, that you, the reader, see a part of God that makes you love Him more than you ever have before. Today, I need to pause for a moment and share with you something far more important. I want to make sure you know how to be saved!
You do know that God loves you. From the beginning of Creation, which God perfectly spoke into existence, God has loved mankind. The relationship God intended, however, was broken by sin. When sin entered into the hearts of man, a seperation occurred between man and God. God being Holy, or absent of sin, could not accept even the slightest of unrighteousness.
Thankfully, God loved us enough to make a way for us to come to Him. Having already established that the shedding of blood would be an acceptable sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, God sent His only Son, born of a virgin, sinless, to die on the cross. His shed blood paid in full our sin debt.
Oh, but that is not enough. Since God gave man the ability to reject Him by sinning, man must now accept God's remedy for sin. Therefore, we receive salvation by our faith in Jesus Christ, the only way a sinful man can ever reach a Holy God.
Let me ask you, if you died today would you spend an eternity in Heaven? And, if your answer is yes, let me ask you "why"? Why would God allow you into Heaven? There is only one answer that will do: It is through your faith in Jesus that grants you salvation. Have you accepted Him as your Lord and Savior?
If not, do so today! Tell Jesus you trust Him and Him alone as your Savior. You will indeed find the encouragament, the challenge, the joy, the victory and the wholeness of life that you have never known before. And, Christians, you pray for those who have yet to believe!
