How Do I Get Right With God?
In a world where we often struggle with the weight of sin and the feeling of guilt, there is a light that offers hope and renewal. This light is found in surrendering our lives to Jesus Christ.
The message is clear - by placing our faith in Jesus Christ, we are made right with God. It's not about being good enough, avoiding mistakes, or trying to earn favour through our actions. It's about a genuine surrender to Jesus. This surrender brings forgiveness, grace, and a new life. It's a moment of transformation, where old things pass away, and all things become new.
The impact of His resurrection has reverberated through history, transforming lives, and stirring hearts. The disciples, who were initially doubtful and unsure, became impassioned evangelists, willing to endure hardship and persecution for their unwavering belief in the risen Saviour.
Consider the transformation of Thomas, once known as the doubter. After encountering Jesus, Thomas carried the Gospel to India and ultimately chose to face death rather than deny his faith. His journey from doubt to unwavering conviction serves as a powerful testament to the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.
The invitation to surrender to Jesus is not bound by time or place. Whether you are encountering Jesus for the first time, or are personally acquainted with his story, today is the day for transformation. It's a day to let Jesus move from being a historical figure to becoming the personal saviour of your life.
For those who find themselves inexplicably drawn to God, feeling a pull within their hearts, there’s an invitation to explore the depths of this divine attraction. And for those who feel unworthy or laden with guilt, know that the message of Jesus is a message of hope, forgiveness, and new beginnings.
The call remains the same - surrender your life to Jesus and embark on a journey that transcends the constraints of this world. It's a journey marked by grace, forgiveness, and unyielding love. The surrender to Jesus is not a surrender to fear, but a step into the embrace of love that transcends all understanding.
As we reflect on this powerful hope let us remember that the message of Jesus is one that has transformed lives across generations and continues to do so today. If you find yourself at a crossroads, uncertain or burdened, consider the invitation to be made right with God through faith in Jesus Christ. Today, you too can surrender to a love that knows no bounds and embark on a journey that offers hope, renewal, and purpose.
