“If we confess our sins, He is Faithful and Just and will Forgive us our sins and Purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Meditation:
There is no other way to receive salvation except through Jesus Christ, who offered himself up so that we would not have to suffer the condemnation for our sins. In Jesus Christ we have found the light, we walk away from darkness. Jesus Christ is the manifestation of the fullness of God's love for all mankind. When the world was at its worst, God sent His son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and set us free from the bondage of the enemy. There was no one else who could have done this for us without any ulterior motives. God simply did this because of His love for us. We didn't deserve it. Humanity was a mess at the time Jesus came to the earth. There was a mixed multitude of people - those who knew God but had chosen to turn their backs on Him, those who did not know God at all, and those who walked around with their noses in their air as they depended on their self-righteousness. But they all had one thing in common: sin. There was nothing man could do to resolve it. Many tried to fulfill their law in their own power but they could not do it. All the sacrifices that were done to atone the sins of the children of Israel were done on a regular basis because they were unable to stop sinning. Sin had a powerful grip over the people and it brought out the worst in them. We were redeemed through the blood of Jesus Christ, reconciled to God, the Father. It is only through Jesus Christ that we can be children of God. There is no other way. People try to find peace and happiness in earthly goods and substances but they never find it because none of these things have ever been able to do what Jesus did for us. We can only get peace from Christ, our solid foundation. Once you have the peace from Christ you have found 'true' happiness. Our lives have been justified by the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on our behalf. All of this was done out of love and nothing else. When we think of the love of God, all we have to do is think of Jesus because that is where it is all shown.
Prayer:
