As I think about this Easter season I have begun to think about the fact that Christ bore his body on a cross and died for everyone and not just for some. It truly is amazing that no matter who we are the God of the Universe was willing to die for us. No matter if we are gay, straight; murderers, thieves, liars, and the list can go on and on. No matter who we are Christ died for us. I feel like so many times we act like Christ died for the righteous people, but no one is righteous. We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God that is written in Romans 3:23.
Also in Romans 5 Paul the writer of the letter to the Romans is talking about Christ the savior of the world and he writes “Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” See in God’s eyes we are all worth saving no matter what we have done. In this world we live in people do not normally willingly give up their lives. It would take an act of so much Love to be willing to sacrifice it all for another. And that is exactly what God did, he loved us so much that he sent his one and only son that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life that’s written in John 3:16
I can truly tell you that this life that Christ offers is truly worth it. How many other times can you truly think of someone that loves you so much he is willing to die for you? That is what Easter is about; it is about The Savior who died on a cross for the sins of the world and then defeated death three days later and rose from the grave. No matter who you are Christ died for you, so that you would be able to experience eternal life and be with him in heaven.
So what does it take to get this salvation that is offered freely to us? In Romans 10:9 Paul explains it, he says “That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” and then in Romans 10:9 he says “Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord WILL be saved.” It is written out very clearly all we have do is call upon the name of the lord and believe in out heart that he is God and we will be saved. I capitalized the word WILL because it does not say that you might be saved, that God will consider letting you have eternal life it says you WILL be saved.
If you have read this and have any questions please feel free to send me a message or call me or anything. Christ is the most important thing to me and I would love to talk to anyone about it. I love you all.
