Isaiah 11,12,13,14; Hebrews 9
For
Without The Shedding Of Blood,
There Is No Forgiveness.
Scripture
… For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.
Observation
Forgiveness
of our sins … have your sins been forgiven? Forgiveness is always a gift. When
someone does you wrong and you choose to forgive them – you gift them
forgiveness. You and I can’t earn forgiveness.
The
forgiveness of our sins is a free gift to us, but it was very costly to the One
who gives us that Gift of forgiveness.
Most
people in this world think that if they are good enough then maybe God will let
them into His Heaven. The truth is that you and I can NEVER be good enough to
earn our way into Heaven.
Jesus
Christ had to shed His blood to pay for our forgiveness. He had to pay sin’s
penalty even though He never sinned. He became the Perfect sacrifice for our
sins.
What
do we have to do?
We
must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. We must believe that He lived a sinless
life that He died and His blood was shed to take away the penalty of our sins,
and we must surrender our lives to Him. We must ask Him to be the Lord of our
life!
Have
you turned from sin and self and turned to Jesus Christ? Have you been forgiven
for your sinful life?
Are
you forgiven?
When
I was 19 years old I heard this Good News and I asked Jesus Christ to be my
Lord and my Savior. I turned from sin and self and I turned to God and I asked
Him to save me. I am 63 years old today. Jesus has never left me since the day
I surrendered my life to him. He has always been in my life since the day I
said “Yes” to Him. He lives in me!
Are you forgiven?
Application
I will remind myself today that most of the people that I
will see today do not have a personal relationship with Jesus. It is my job to
share every chance I get.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for giving me Eternal Life. I don’t deserve it. I know that
it is a Gift. Thank You Jesus for shedding Your blood on the cross for me.
Thank You for dying in my place so that I could be forgiven. Thank You for the
life that I get to enjoy … it is an abundant life just like You promised!
