Getting right with Jesus!

The words above are the response of John the Baptist when he saw Jesus.

Sin is a recurring behavior for every human being. This is because you live with an inner condition which is in rebellion to God and there is no way to get rid of it.

God is holy and wants nothing to do with you. The only hope is in Christ Jesus. He understands the frailty of humanity. He sees everything inside you both the good and the bad.

Jesus died to forgive your sins and make you clean before Him but unfortunately we just keep getting dirty. This behavior was repeated by the Israelites time and time again and eventually caused them to be scattered among foreign nations.

This condition became so serious and repulsive to God that He wiped out all humanity except for eight souls. The primary culprit was sexual immorality which is rampant today.

God knows you can never attain His standards of holiness. But He provided a solution which cost Jesus his life. And, Jesus was perfect and did not deserve this punishment.

Jesus was obedient to God and died on the Cross. This horrific death was very good for you and me.

If you are a believer Jesus promises to forgive all your sins and restore you to God. He is also with you for the long run and knows you will stumble at times.

Jesus has sealed you with the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Christ. The Holy Spirit will convict you of sin and keep you on a pathway with Jesus.

Most believers stumble because they do not listen consistently to the voice of Christ. They stray away from the Holy Spirit to live with fleshly motives.

God cannot be treated like an on and off water faucet. You must be alive in the Spirit at all times and operating under His authority. This will protect you from evil and the consequences of sin.

Where sin abounds the grace (love) of God abounds more. Live in the work of the Cross and you can please Jesus.
