Sinner saved by Grace, is a quote
which we can find everywhere in the Bible, from the first man to the present
generation.
The world is filled with
hypocrite people who do not accept the ones who try to come out of their
mistakes. But when you open the word of God and read it, we find people whom
God gave a second chance and saved them.
One such person is a lady called
Mary Magdalene. We see her as a sinful woman in the book of Luke 7 and 8. She
found out Jesus and her life changed. She was possessed with demons, but Christ
healed and saved her and took her and others along with his disciples. Even
after Christ resurrected from the death, He appeared to her and she went and
told the good news to His disciples (John 20)
In the Gospel of John 8, we see a
woman caught in Adultery being brought in front of Jesus. Instead of judging
her, Jesus told her – Go and sin no more. That changed her life. She went and
told everybody about the grace of Jesus. She can be called as the first
ambassador of Christ.
David, one of the celebrity King
of Israel did adultery and to hide it, he got involved in killing the lady’s
husband (2 Samuel 12). But once he was revealed about the sin, he confessed it
before God and asked for forgiveness. God not only forgave him but He called
David as the man after God’s own heart (Acts 13: 22).
Saul, the first king of Israel
was a perfect man (1 Samuel 9). He did a small mistake, but did not repent or
confessed about it. The God who knew his heart threw him out of the throne and
rejected him (1 Samuel 15).
God is our creator and He knows
our heart. He knows about our thoughts and intention. He knows our repentance
and our proudness. He knows our ego and humbleness.
The bible tells about sin as
“whoever conceals their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn
from them, they will receive mercy” – Proverbs 28: 13.
In the same way Jesus says in
Luke 15, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and
returns to God.
Jesus Christ came to the world as
a sacrifice to sins of the world, so as to give salvation and make the men
righteous with God. But the one who comes to Christ should repent of their
sins. Acts 28: 19, says, Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your
sins may be wiped away.
There are people who are
struggling to live because of the guiltiness of their sins. Jesus Christ came
and took all the punishment for your sins. You should understand that your sins
are forgiven. Only thing you need to do is to confess it before God and ask Him
to forgive. Once God forgives your sin, He forgets it also.
Once you repent, you will be free
from sin and when you understand saviour Jesus and accept him, your life will
be controlled by the Spirit of God. You will see peace in your heart and from
nothing you will be guided to take decisions that will be a blessing to you and
you will become a powerful blessing to others.
May The Lord touch you and save
you to be blessed and be a blessing in Jesus name
