The Bible teaches that God is our Creator but the history of mankind from Adam onwards has been one of rebellion and disobedience. None is exempt—sin has left its dreadful scars on us all. The penalty of sin is death. God's love, however, does not desire the death of a sinner, but God's holiness is such that He cannot gloss over sin. This is the reason why Christ came—to die on the cross to bear the punishment of our sins.
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved," was the wonderful answer to the question, "What must I do to be saved?" asked by a hardened jailer, convicted of sin. We need to have the real experience of conviction of sin, repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul also said that "if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in thy heart that God has raised Him from the dead thou shalt be saved." Rom. 10:99That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Romans 10:9).
We should then commit our ways unto the Lord and consecrate our lives to Him—the Lord Jesus to whom be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
A life without Christ is a wasted life. The blessing and joy which comes from being fully committed to the Lord Jesus should be the portion of all who believe on Him.
