SALVATION FOR GODS CHILDREN

.Someone Died for You by Nathan Adams
"...one died for all"

Let us suppose that you were going to be killed in a horrible manner tomorrow for something that you had done wrong. How would you feel if an innocent person volunteered to receive that punishment for you? Would you be grateful? How would you express that gratitude? That is exactly what Jesus Christ did for you and me when He died upon the cross. Paul tells us that “we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Consequently, the “wages of sin is death”(Romans 6:23). Therefore, if we each received what we deserved (our wage), it would be death. Peter says of Christ, “For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God…” (1 Peter 3:18) Likewise, Paul said “that one died for all” (2 Corinthians 5:14). We can now see that we (all mankind) deserved death because of the sin which we committed, but Jesus died in our stead that we might be able to come to God. ARE YOU GRATEFUL? How are you expressing that gratitude? It is my hope that we are expressing our gratitude through the fulfillment of the greatest commandment which is by loving God with all our heart (emotions), soul (life), mind (intellect), and strength (talents) (Mark 12:29-30). What does it mean to love God? John tells us, “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.” (1 John 5:3) Therefore, if we want to show our gratitude to God through our love for Him, we MUST do what He commands in His word, the Bible. SeekSalvation.org endeavors to help people come to an understanding of what this means. It is our prayer and only hope that you come to know and live for the one who died for you..Hillsong United-Salvation is here live..
