You Will Tell His People

How To Find Salvation

Through Forgiveness Of Their Sins.

Scripture

Luke 1

77 You will tell his people how to find salvation
    through forgiveness of their sins.


Observation

Zechariah’s prophecy about his son John the Baptist is true for us today. It is what we are to do. It is the Great Commission. 

Only forgiven people will have the opportunity to go to Heaven, only people who have heard and responded positively to the message that Jesus Christ came to this earth to die in our place. Jesus Christ lived 33 years without sinning one time. He was nailed to a cross. He died. He was buried and on the third day He came back to life. And He is coming back again very soon. 

He died to pay the penalty for our sins. Here are a few of my favorite verses that speak of sin; it’s consequences, and God’s forgiveness. 

    "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.   John 3:16  

    For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard. Romans 3:23

    For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 

    He is so rich in kindness that he purchased our freedom through the blood of his Son, and our sins are forgiven. Ephesians 1:7

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.    Romans 5:8     

    "I assure you, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life. John 5:24

Application

I will continue to share with people how they can experience God’s forgiveness and how they can have a personal relationship with Him.


Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me not to miss an opportunity to share about Jesus with every person You send my way. May You be gloried and highly exalted in 2014! May those we love seek You with all of their hearts and I pray that You would bring them back from captivity. Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Kathy’s verses for our family this year)
