Why are we here? - Day 6

Do you wonder sometimes why you were born, and what life is really all about? We go through life striving to obtain things. And many people judge their life by accomplishments. Like how much money they make, or the car they drive and the house they live in. And then many people just struggle to survive, to put food on the table and the bare essentials for their families. However the end is the same for all people, we all die. So what is this live all about.

The bible says, the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof or the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it. That includes mankind. In the beginning God created man to have fellowship with. God wanted a family. God still wants that family and has made every provision for all who believe in Him to become children of god. When Jesus died on the cross he paid in full the price required by God for us to be in the family of God. You see, Jesus died in our place so we would be in right standing with our heavenly father. The bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:21 “For he hath made him to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. And we obtain this righteousness before God by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The bible says in Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please God for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”

Here are a couple of key scriptures to explain God’s salvation plan for man through the Lord Jesus Christ. 1John1:9 If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sin to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. And in Romans10:9 That 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.”

Jesus went around preaching “the kingdom of God is at hand” and the repentance of sin. He was letting everyone know that the time had come to change their lifestyle of sin and selfish living. It is that condition that keeps all men from God, but now access to God would soon be available to all who would receive the gift of salvation through faith in Christ by the blood shed on the cross. Jesus said in the gospel of John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the father but by me.

There is no other way to God but by Jesus because of the price paid on the cross. So because of Jesus we now have a new identity in God, we are his sons and daughters. We can come before him with confidence, knowing there is nothing between us and God. So through faith in Gods salvation plan, through Jesus Christ we no longer live life like people of no hope, for we have life everlasting.

Jesus said in John 11:25 I am the resurrection and the life he that believeth in me though he were dead yet shall he live. If you search for him, you will find him. Read the Gospels and you will know him. Jesus is saying to you now, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock, if any man hear my voice and open the door I will come in to him and will sup with him and he with me.” The Lord desires an intimate relationship with you today. He loves you very much. He died for you and rose again and wants to spend eternity with you. So give your heart and life to Jesus today.
