For part 2 of our All About Jesus series that we are doing for the month of April, we are going to revisit a section from our Christmas post. It’s titled, Jesus, the Lord’s gift. And you can check it out here or read it below.
Through Jesus, the second Adam, we have been restored. His whole life was to redeem us to God. He was also a fulfillment of the Law (the Law of Moses) which couldn’t save us/failed to reconcile us back to God. But through faith in Jesus, we are restored (Romans 10:9).
He saved us and atoned for our sin. He made us right with God again.
We know now that one isn’t saved by their own doings. No one is innately good or righteous. Doing good deeds doesn’t make one clean inside. In 1 Samuel, it says that the Lord looks at our heart. He knows our hearts. Good deeds don’t make up for a dirty heart and life of sin.
The truth is that we need God, and we needed Jesus to come so that we may be saved.
“for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23 NKJV
But through Jesus, God blessed us with the gift of reconciliation. We have been redeemed and made right with God.
“Blessed (praised and extolled and thanked) be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has come and brought deliverance and redemption to His people!”
Luke 1:68 AMPC
By His grace and His glorious plan and purpose for our life, we are saved. We are given grace by God’s love for us.
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8 NIV
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.”
Ephesians 1:7 KJV
So, as you go throughout your day, remember the ultimate gift that God has given us, which is Jesus. And remember to uplift, inspire, enlighten, and, more importantly, encourage someone. If you want to reach out or have any prayer requests, you can submit them here.
