I want to preach to you briefly from the book of Romans. Firstly Romans chapter 3 and verse 10 says “There is none righteous, not even one...” So if I ask you are you righteous what would you say to me? In truth if you are already a Christian you probably already know that your righteousness is as filthy rags before the Lord (Isaiah 66:6 NKJV). So what can we say then. How about you can’t save yourself so you must get your righteousness from Jesus Christ.
Romans chapter 3 verse 23 says “...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” So you are not righteous and you have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. Sin separates you from God and unless you jolly well sort it out you are going to die in your sins in eternal fire separated from God.
Romans chapter 6 verse 24 says “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The wages of our sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ who bore our sins on the Cross and paid the sin debt that we owe in our place. Yes God took your place and was judged instead of you and me that if we believe on Jesus Christ our Savior we have eternal life. Our sins forgiven.
My friend II Peter chapter 3 verse 9 says “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” Know that God has made preparation before you were born that if you choose Jesus Christ as your savior then your sins are forgiven and your salvation is assured. Jehovah loves you and is not willing for you to perish in your sins. If you are not saved then it is time to get down on your knees and seek the Father to forgive your sins in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son and to ask him come into your heart in the person of the Holy Spirit of God. If you have faith then he will do this for you
God bless you my friends.
