Do We Truly Know What Christ Has Done for Us? [ Selected ] June 4, 2003 My friend, we need to realize what the Lord has done for us, individually. He purchased you and me with His own blood. We were lost in sin and a prisoner in the prison house of sin. We had no way to get out and no real desire to get out. Yet Christ so loved us when He saw us as a slave to past guilt, a slave to besetting sin, and a slave to our own frailty, futility, and worthlessness, that He ransomed and redeemed us, thank God! The enemy has many people believing that there is really nothing worth living for, in this world, so they are ready to take their own lives. Whenever we deal with individuals who are going through a troubled time such as that, we're glad we can tell them about Jesus and how much He loves them. The devil had lied to them by telling them nobody cared what happened to them. Thank God for the truth; there is One who cares. He cares to a greater degree than any of us can realize. He suffered and died to complete this wonderful plan of salvation for us. God, through Jesus Christ, has done for us what no man ANYWHERE can do. Christ can redeem us and bring us to God and He can take us out of every nation and bring us together! There is no man who can do that! Today, men in their own human efforts, are straining and struggling to unify people, but they are becoming more separated all the time. There is only one way to get together---give up to Jesus! He can take us out of sin and bring us to God. He can take us out of every nation under heaven, unite us, and make us a people who love each other and are able to worship together. There is only One who can unite our hearts. The ten most powerfully influencing Christian world leaders cannot do it; all the national and international church councils cannot do it---only Jesus can do it. HE HAS done it! |
