A Salvation Message

A Salvation Message For Our Time

Are you a sinner?

If you’re a Christian, the answer is “Yes.”

If you’re not a Christian, the answer is also “Yes.”

There’s a common misconception that Christians are, or at least think they are, sinless.

Skeptics of Christianity say things like:

I don’t go to church because it’s full of hypocrites

Christians think they’re holier-than-thou

Let’s help put those misunderstandings to rest.

We’re All Sinners

That means me . . . you . . . the postman . . . that celebrity . . . your pastor . . . your college professor.

Every person driving next to you during your morning commute is a sinner.

That’s a lot of people – a whole population worth.

There was, and is, only one perfect, sinless, eternally-divine Person who ever walked the earth – God’s own son, Jesus Christ.

Why would God do that for us?

Who are we to deserve such a gift as His Son?

Saved By Grace

A salvation message

No other mediator exists between God and Man, except our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

God loves us so much that He sent His beloved Son to die for us so that our sins could be washed clean.

He’s a God of second chances, and third, and fourth . . .

Even though we all fail Him, as Christians, our salvation is secure because of God’s grace and our repentant hearts.

There’s a whole world out there in need of salvation through Christ alone.

Watch as Ray Comfort explains this. The short video begins with a lesson on dinosaurs and then segues into the consequences of unrepentant sin to a young woman faced with some very important life questions.

Will God Forgive Me If

Will God Forgive Me If I …

Will God forgive me ifHad an abortion?

Divorced for non-biblical reasons?

Committed adultery?

Skipped church?

Broke a promise?

These questions are from real people searching on the internet.

They’re searching for guidance about an issue in their life that is weighing on their very souls.

God bless them for recognizing their need for answers about important questions in the Christian faith.

First, some important facts for everyone to remember:

  • We’re all sinners and we will all continue to be. We’re human beings, not God, so there’s no getting around our sinful nature.
  • Will God forgive me if ____________ (insert your concern.) Our loving Father does forgive if we sincerely seek His repentance. And, our infallible God is smart enough to know the difference between a sincere apology and a fake one.

How do we ask for forgiveness?

Talk to God. Pray about it and, if you feel comfortable, find a Christian friend or family member and ask them to pray about it with you.

Heavenly Father, I believe I have messed up.

I’m asking for Your forgiveness and

also Your guidance about this situation.

I’m listening, Lord, and I’m opening my heart

to your eternal wisdom. Please give me strength

and patience as I seek your Will for my life.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

* In Isaiah 1:18-20, KJV, the Bible tells us:

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:  20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

 Lord, Thank You For Your Grace

In my humble opinion, the word “grace” is one of the most beautiful and meaningful words in the English language. It is through His grace alone that we have salvation.  We are forgiven from our sins through Jesus Christ, but we must believe in Him and repent when we sin.

I hope this is helpful to anyone reading this post who has a question like the ones above.

God alone, makes all things new.

God makes all things new

* In 1 John 1:9, Scripture tells us:

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
