Are You On Good Terms With God?

How do I get right with God?

We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus. (Romans 3:22-26 – New Living Translation)

God wants all people to be saved, and come to a knowledge of the truth. The truth is that there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, namely Jesus Christ, who came to pay the penalty for our sin and to restore us into a right relationship with God. So, let’s be made right with God today by placing our faith in Jesus Christ.

Prayer:

Dear God,

Thank you for making me aware of what you have done for me through Jesus Christ. It is true that I have sinned and fallen short of Your glory (Romans 3:23). There is no one who is righteous in your sight, and any justification by my own merit is like filthy rags in Your sight. For I have not done right in Your His sight, and I have not remembered Your ways (Isaiah 64:5-6)

Thank you for showing me your great love by sending Jesus to die for my sins while I was yet a sinner (Romans 5:8). You sent your Son so that by believing in Him I would not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16).

You have saved me by your grace, and I accept the sacrifice of Your Son on the cross for my sins. By accepting Jesus, You have given me right-standing with you, and I will forever be grateful. Amen. 

The Most Holy Name

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)

Today, I sat down for some lunch in our cafeteria at work. No sooner had I taken my seat, when I heard someone behind me cursing the name of Jesus Christ. So, I quickly followed his public curse with my own public confession, saying to Jesus Christ out loud, “I bless your holy name!”

At that particular moment, it felt good for me to publicly honor His name, and I am thankful for the opportunity to express my freedom of speech within a secular environment.

Following lunch, I passed by this particular individual and prayed for his salvation, as I made my way back to my workstation.

Within your own work environment, may you be encouraged to lift up the name of Jesus Christ whenever someone else chooses to dishonor His name.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus,

You willingly came to this earth to die on a cross for our sins, and your love has been made known to us so that we would not perish. You came not to judge us, but to save us, and to give us eternal life. (John 3:16-17)

Help us to turn away from our unbelief, and to recognize our need for you, while there is still time to be forgiven of our sins, and to be reconciled with our Heavenly Father.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for we have all gone astray, and we have all fallen short of the glory of God. May your mercy and grace be made evident to everyone who has not understood how they have dishonored your holy name. Amen.

The One Who Saves

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

God’s gift of salvation has only come by one name, and by His name, we must be saved. This One which God speaks of came from heaven, and this name was given by God to save us. This name that has been revealed to us is Jesus of Nazareth.

Have you trusted in His name?

If yes, then you will not perish, but you will inherit eternal life. If no, then you already stand condemned by refusing to believe in the only One who can save you.

The choice for you is life or death. What do you choose?

Prayer:

Lord Jesus,

At the mention of your name may those who are blind see the extent of your mercy, may those who are deaf hear of your lavish grace, and may those who are indifferent experience the depth of your amazing love. Amen.

Washes Away My Sin

In fact, under the Law, almost everything is cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness [neither release from sin and its guilt, nor cancellation of the merited punishment]. (Hebrews 9:22)

I love the old hymnal, “Nothing But The Blood”, by Robert Lowry, because it reminds me of the finished work of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus has fulfilled the requirements of the law, by shedding His blood on the cross. He was crucified as the lamb of God, buried, and raised from the dead, has been given authority to forgive our sin (Matthew 9:2-6) and only He can make us right with our Heavenly Father (John 14:6).

“What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
no other fount I know;
nothing but the blood of Jesus. ”

Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be like wool. (Isaiah 1:18)

Prayer:

Lord Jesus,

We say “thank you” with a grateful heart for being willing to be crucified on the cross for our sin, be buried, yet being fully made alive again by your resurrection.

I pray for Muslims, Atheists, and others alike who refuse to see your salvation for their sins. May your Holy Spirit convict them of their sins, convince them of their need for you, and remind them of the judgment to come. For today is the day of salvation for everyone who chooses to believe. Amen.

How Are You Saved?

“For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; “not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation].” “For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].” — Eph 2:8-10

Prayer:

Lord Jesus,

Thank you for saving me by your grace, through placing my faith in you. Your finished work on the cross for my sin and your resurrection from the dead enables me to walk in newness of life. You have been so good to me, and I rejoice in your salvation. Amen. 

God Saves

God saves us from us from the consequences of our sin which leads to death. His gift of freedom and forgiveness for our sins is found in Jesus of Nazareth. Today, I pray that you would choose to be rescued by Him. May He deliver you out of Satan’s domain of darkness, and bring you into the Kingdom of His beloved Son. Amen.
