Roman 6:23, NIV
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23, NIV We will end up in grave because of the sins that we committed. Sometimes, this is not about physical death, but the moment we sin in the eyes of God, our souls are also dying. Sin is like a great wall that hinders us from connecting to God. It separates us from His presence. But the good news is, God gave us an expensive gift that saved us from eternal condemnation. And it is through our Lord, Jesus Christ. Through His sacrifice on the cross, we are…

Romans 6:11,NIV
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Jesus Reveals Himself to Sinners
If you think that Jesus won’t connect to you because of your sins and mistakes, then you are wrong. If you only read the bible, you will realize that Jesus loves to pursue the sinners.

Because the truth is only the precious blood of Jesus can redeem us from hell. He alone has the power to rescue us from the mess and the darkness that we are in. If you feel guilty because of your…

John 8:34, NIV
This is the reason why we need a savior. Humans as we are, we tend to commit sins that violate God’s law. We need His grace to help us live this life with freedom. We are still slaves to sin as long as we continue to live according to our selfish nature. This is the reason why Jesus needed to step down and carry our punishments. We can’t simply purify our hearts according to our own will and understanding. His blood alone can set us free from condemnation. It’s not about our own efforts and will. It will never be enough. We need divine intervention, and Jesus did it for…

Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them. Luke 17:4, NIV Choose to forgive those people who hurt you. Remember how Jesus sacrificed His life just to show you that your sins are forgiven. So extend that grace to those who need it. Don’t keep what He gave just for yourself.
