Our Almighty God is righteous and just. Romans 3:23, tells us that all people have sinned and are inadequate to be in His presence, since God cannot tolerate sin. As a result of His wrath against sin, we were doomed to eternal separation from Him. But thankfully, the story does not end there. In His love and mercy, God sent His Son to walk among us. Jesus experienced the hardship and temptation common to all people, yet He never sinned. The Savior chose to die a gruesome death in our place, paying the penalty for our wrongs. Scripture tells us, that there is no greater love, than a man who gives up His life for a friend (John 15:13). Jesus went further- dying for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:10). In fact, He would have sacrificed Himself even if it were only one person to ever exist. Promising forgiveness and eternal life, Christ asks sinful man to believe and follow Him. When we trust in Jesus, we are adopted as God’s children and receive His indwelling Spirit, who blesses us abundantly with joy, peace and guidance. We have access to converse with the Father at anytime. We do not deserve the Lord ‘s invitation to have an intimate relationship with Him, yet in His Grace, He is loving and compassionate towards us. What a privilege to be able to approach the King’s throne, knowing He listens, He understands, and He cares for us. Let us rest in God’s love and enjoy sweet fellowship with Him now and forever. – Hebrews 4:14-16
