What an amazing Savior we have!
Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, let's settle this," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.
Isaiah 7:14 All right then, the Lord Himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a Child! She will give birth to a Son and will call Him Immanuel (which means 'God is with us').
It isn't difficult to realize that man will never be good enough to qualify to live eternally with God. We haven't gotten any better than the original sinners that were thrown out of their garden home. You would probably say that we have only gotten worse than Adam and Eve as their one sin has grown into a long list of sins. How can we possibly think we can be good enough to make it into Heaven without God?
All of the world religions are based on the idea that man can reach a better state but true Christ followers admit that they may become better people by man's standards but it isn't enough for God. We may become better citizens of this world but we will not be good enough to become citizens in God's kingdom.
Jesus Christ is the best Savior ever, the only real Savior, the only source of salvation that is good enough by God's holy standards. Since it is all about Jesus and his perfect goodness and it isn't about me, I can be sure that my eternal destiny is secure, without Jesus I will always fail to be good enough but with Jesus I don't have to be.
Hallelujah! What A Savior |
