Christ Died Once For All

Scripture

Hebrews 9

27 And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, 28 so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.

Observation

Are you eagerly waiting for Him? Are you ready for the return of Jesus Christ? I am. When He comes back for me and hopefully for you He will come not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation. Our sins have already been dealt with on the cross. He paid the penalty for my sins and for your sins and if we put our trust in what He did for us on the cross then we can eagerly look forward to His return.

Have you experienced His forgiveness? If you died today where would you spend eternity? Do you know? If you were standing before God at Heaven’s gate and God asked you, “why should I let you into my Heaven?” what would you say to Him? The only correct answer to that question is found in verse 28 of chapter nine of the book of Hebrews.

I can boldly enter into Heaven when I die not because of anything that I have done but because Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away my sins.
Are you forgiven?

Application

I will continue to share this message with those that God brings into my life.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for my salvation. I realize that I am saved for a reason. I am to be a light to bring others to a saving knowledge of Your Son Jesus Christ. Help me to share the Good News with boldness and with urgency. Remind me today of the lostness of the people around me. They need a personal relationship with You.
