The Truth
of God’s redemptive grace is exercised in the gift and sacrifice of
His Son Jesus, our Messiah. Why would God make such a sympathetic
offering? The answer lies in the text of John 3:16, “For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For
God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is
not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of
God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the
world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds
were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither
cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he
that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made
manifest, that they are wrought in God.” All that desire the Truth
will navigate toward the Light of God, make the necessary adjustments
in the strength of Jesus Christ, and walk in His Truth.
We are
born into this life carrying this enormous burden called “sin.”
The entire human race was plunged into the state of sin due to the
disobedience of our mother and father, Adam and Eve. They fell for
the Serpent’s temptation and ate of the forbidden fruit. God placed
a curse upon the earth because of their disobedience.
God has
included all under sin that He might offer a remedy. Galatians 3:22,
“But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise
by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe...26 For
ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as
many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there
is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs
according to the promise.”
Jesus
Christ is God’s Gift of Redemptive Grace to this lost and dying
world. The Truth of His redemptive grace reaches into the darkest
crevices of life to illuminate the path of lost mankind. Look to
Jesus, our Messiah, today and be loosed from the penetrating,
consuming darkness enveloping our world. Jesus will deliver you and
empower you to walk in the freedom that only He can give!
