We are Born again Christians.

‭John 3:3 ESV‬ 3] Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

 

We received Christ as our Lord and saviour. We recognised that we were sinners and had been separated from God by our own sin

Sin

Have you ever lied ?.. yes.. this makes you a liar

Have you ever stolen something.. even if it was small . Yes .. you are a thief

Have you lusted after a man or woman?.. yes .. you are an adulterer at heart. 

The list goes.. what it does is shows our Humanity's fallen state. 

‭Romans 3:23 ESV‬
[23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

How did we get to this place.. you remember the garden of eden where Adam and Eve walked. They had a beautiful close child relationship with their Creator. You remember that Eve was tempted by the serpent in the garden and after God has said "you can eat from any tree in the garden but don't eat from the tree of life". Well Eve and Adam both disobeyed God and because of that sin .. they were both separated and everyone since from God. God is holy and only those who are perfect dwell in heaven. So we now because of their actions are done for !!... But wait... It didn't end there.. God had a plan 

Jesus Christ who is the Son of God and part of the trinity (Father, Son and Holy spirit)was the Father's plan for reconciliation between man and God the Father ...

‭John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

How can I be reconciled back to God through Jesus ?

‭Romans 10:9-10 ESV‬

[9] because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

Jesus didn't come to condemn you.. he laid down his life for you ..

‭John 3:16-17 ESV‬

[16] “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

God the Father sent his Son Jesus to die on the cross for our sin and Jesus was raised to life by the Holy Spirit and now sits on the right hand of God. Jesus said that he had to go so that the Holy Spirit could come. God is a just God and will forgive your sin if you truly repent. 

‭John 16:7 ESV‬
[7] Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

Today .. Consider committing your life to Christ.. if you were to stand before God..  what is your best shot to get into heaven?.. 

The devil is real and  prowls around like a roaring lion waiting to devour. We only need to look at the state of the world.

"How is all this possible you say?"

‭Matthew 19:25-26 ESV‬
[25] When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” [26] But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Saved from what .. the wages of sin is death.. Hell.. separated from God for eternity.. in spirit but in eternal torture!. 

‭Matthew 25:46 ESV.                                                                       ‬[46] And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
