About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"THE WAGES OF SIN" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
THE WAGES OF SIN
I BELIEVE I NEED TO EXPLAIN FURTHER WHAT I MEANT WHEN I SAID "SIN IS NOT AN ISSUE ANYMORE." SIN IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE AND DOES MATTER BECAUSE THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. ROMANS 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO IS THAT JESUS DIED FOR ALL SIN, NOT FOR JUST US BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS. HE DIED FOR EVERYONE'S SIN AND EVERY SIN THAT WILL EVER BE COMMITTED. 1ST JOHN 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. HE WAS SPEAKING TO BELIEVERS WHEN HE SAID "NOT FOR OURS ONLY."
ALTHOUGH JESUS DIED FOR ALL SIN, EVEN THE ONES WE HAVE NOT YET COMMITTED, WE STILL NEED TO CONFESS THOSE SINS WHEN WE DO THEM. THE BIBLE SAYS "If we confess our sins, he is faithful to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." ARE YOU WONDERING WHY WE HAVE TO ASK FORGIVENESS WHEN WE SIN IF JESUS ALREADY DIED FOR ALL SIN? THERE ARE TWO REASONS AS FAR AS I CAN TELL. ONE IS THAT THE BIBLE SAYS TO AND THE FORGIVENESS THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN WILL APPLY TO THOSE SINS AND THE OTHER REASON IS THAT IT KEEPS SATAN FROM HAVING ACCESS IN OUR LIVES.
I HAVE ALSO BEEN ASKED HOW I CAN SAY THAT HE DIED FOR SINS WE HAVE YET TO COMMIT. WELL, WE HAD BETTER HOPE THAT IT IS TRUE BECAUSE JESUS DIED ONCE AND IS NOT GOING TO DIE EVERY TIME WE COMMIT A SIN. HE DIED ONCE FOR ALL SIN. "Hebrews 10:12-14 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified."
JESUS DID IT ALL AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS BELIEVE WHAT HE HAS DONE AND RECEIVE IT AS A FREE GIFT. SALVATION IS THE MOST PERFECT AND IMPORTANT GIFT ANYONE WILL EVER RECEIVE. "but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." OUR JOB IS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS GIFT OF SALVATION. IT IS ALL THERE FOR THEM BUT IF THEY DON'T KNOW, HOW WILL THEY EVER RECEIVE IT. THEY HAVE TO BELIEVE AND RECEIVE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST WHICH IS THAT HE DIED, WAS BURIED AND ROSE AGAIN.
THIS WEEK, PLEASE TELL SOMEONE ABOUT HOW MUCH JESUS LOVES THEM. THEY REALLY NEED TO KNOW AND YOU JUST MIGHT ME THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS WORLD THAT CAN REACH THEM FOR JESUS. DON'T LET AN OPPORTUNITY LIKE THIS PASS YOU BY AND PLEASE DON'T LET THEM DOWN.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
