| Suppose you were walking across the street, and were about to be hit by an oncoming car, and someone heroically pushed you to safety, but they were killed as a result, how would you feel toward that individual? Gratitude, deep appreciation, sincere thanks - these words seem inadequate, don't they? |
| Friend, Jesus Christ, the Son of God died in your place [see Hebrews 2:9]. He was without sin [See Hebrews 4:15; I Peter 2:22; and I John 3:5], but He died for the sins of the whole world [see Romans 5:8; I Corinthians 15:3-4; I Peter 3:18]. He left the glory of heaven, to walk among men for a time that one day the saved can be in heaven - forever. "not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven," [Matthew 7:21]. |
| Do you love Him for that? Jesus said in John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments." Show your love for Him! Obey Him and live for Him. Jesus is "the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him," [Hebrews 5:9]. |
| Dear reader, if you want to know what Jesus, man's saviour, says we must do to have our sins washed away by His blood [Matthew 26:28; Ephesians 1;7; I Peter 1:18-19] please read John 20:31; 14:1,6; 8:24; Luke 13:3 and 5; Matthew 10:32-33; 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16; Luke 9:23; John 8:12 and 12:48. |
