THE DEPENDABLE DELIVERER
All
of us like sheep have gone astray.
Each of us has turned to his own way
but the LORD has caused the iniquity of us
all
to fall on Him. (Isaiah 53:6, cp Jn 1:29, Isa 53:5, 1Pe 2:24, 25)
Then he
(Abram) believed
in the LORD and He reckoned it to him as righteousness. (Genesis 15:6, cp
Gal 3:8, 16, Acts 16:31)
HERE IS THE GOSPEL (GOOD NEWS)
GOD GIVES SINFUL MEN TO BELIEVE IN THAT THEY MIGHT LIVE FOREVER WITH
HIM...
For I delivered to you as of
first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our
sins (2Co 5:21) according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried
and that He was raised on the third day (Ro 6:4) according to the
Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas (Peter), then to the
twelve (Acts 1:3). (1Cor 15:3-5)
To summarize:
Jesus Christ died for us, in our place, as our Substitutionary Sacrificial
"Lamb" (the One to Whom all the Old Testament sacrifices had been
pointing, cp Jn 1:29, 1Co 5:7 and Ex 12:5, 6, 13, 7, 21, 1Pe 1:18, 19). He
truly died and was buried (Jn 19:30). He was truly resurrected from the
dead (Jn 11:25, 26, Ps 16:10, Acts 2:31NLT, Acts 17:32, 24:15, 26:23, Ro
1:4NLT, 1Co 15:21NLT, 1Pe 1:3, Rev 20:6). He truly appeared alive after
His rising from the dead (Acts 1:3, Mk 16:14NLT. He truly ascended (Acts
1:9). He will surely return again (Acts 1:11, Jn 14:3, Rev 1:7, 8, Rev
19:11, Rev 19:16, Mt 24:30, 25:31, 1Th 1:10). He must be received by grace
through faith and not by our works of "righteousness" lest anyone boast
(Ep 2:8, 9). Dear reader, would you today ponder the reality of a
Christ-less eternity and "believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall
be saved" (Acts 16:31) and you will become a new creature in Christ (2Cor
5:17) with a new hope of eternal life with Christ (Jn 14:3, 1Thes 4:17,
Rev 22:3, 4, 5). Even in the Old Testament the call of the
Messiah, Christ Jesus, has always been...
Turn ("look" Is
45:22KJV) to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth,
for I am God, and there is no other. (Isa 45:22)
Then he (Abram = Abraham)
believed in the LORD and He reckoned it to him as righteousness. (cp
Ge 15:6NLT)
See my Personal Testimony to God's amazing grace to
save a wretch like me.
