Following Jesus at ChristmasSample

Have you received salvation for your sins? The story of Jesus coming to earth, going to the cross, and rising from the dead isn’t just a story; it’s the reality of a passionate rescue mission that Jesus would undertake, one that would cause Him to come to earth and redeem us. You and I don’t just need “help” living a better life or fixing a few parts of our lives that are dysfunctional; we need a reconstruction, and we need life. The Bible teaches us that “all have sinned and fall short,” or come up short of the standard, to pay the price for sin (Romans 3:23 NIV). While it’s true that living according to the Bible produces a better and more successful life, having more earthly success is of no value if I’m dead spiritually. So, we look to Jesus for life, and then we live our lives out of the overflow of that salvation and grace.

Reflection

• Take the time today to repent of your sin, turn your life toward Jesus, and confess that He is your Lord and Savior!
• He will forgive you and bring you into the family of God.
