“…everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sin.” Acts 10:43b
The gospel is good news!
Not only on the day we first received the gift of salvation,
but it continues to be good news to us as believers EVERY DAY as we receive it anew!
Because,
Everyday I battle my flesh.
Everyday I fall short.
Everyday I am tempted to sin.
Everyday I sin.
Everyday I need forgiveness.
I need a Savior EVERYDAY…we all do!
It’s not shameful to admit need…
It’s an expression of humility and an opportunity to experience His supernatural life
As I acknowledge my Savior and believe His word when the truths of my need present themselves…
When I BELIEVE He has the power to save me from myself…
and I let Him save me…
The gospel becomes good news EVERYDAY!!
Jesus says in John 6:29, “This is the work of God, that you BELIEVE in Him whom He sent.”
What does it mean to believe in Jesus? We already did believe in Him, we are saved…
But each day moment by moment we have opportunity to:
BELIEVE, receive and experience the supernatural life of Christ manifested through us.
As we face trials, conflict, hardship and seasons of blessing…
We can BELIEVE, receive and experience His exceedingly great and precious promises He has given us in His word.
About who He is –
About who we are…needy everyday.
And…
About who we now are IN HIM – Healed and free!
We are NEW creatures in Christ.
We are cleansed from sin…
That’s what the cross did for us!
GOD now sees us as righteous!
We can run to Him for help anytime!
He LOVES you and is FOR you!
Daily we have opportunity to believe, receive and experience His lavish love,
-the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge
-the love of God which has been poured out within our hearts thru the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.
Recently God reminded me of Luke 10:20
“Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”
He means for our salvation to be a daily source of joy!
Believe Him…
For He has done it all FOR us.
He is our Savior everyday.
All the prophets bear witness,
To those who desire forgiveness
BELIEF in His name…alone
removes shame
Our sins have been covered by Jesus.
(See Acts 10:43)
