Step Three on the Romans Road to Salvation is that Jesus Christ died for our sins. Remember yesterday we said that "the price of sin is death"? Jesus paid that price for our death.
He was the Perfect Sacrifice. His death paid for the sins of every single one of us.
I don't remember where I saw this, but it went something like this...Imagine you were on death row. The guards take you out of your cell to walk you down the hall to be executed. Someone who you don't even know steps in and says, "I'm going to take your place." He goes with the guards, is executed, and you go home. How will you live your life? Will you live differently? Or will you return to your old ways, go back to committing crimes? I think (hope) most of us would live differently. Well, that story is true for each one of us. Jesus took our place when we were dead in our sins. Don't let it have been in vain.
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8 ESV
*********
Please join me this week in praying for the lost, unengaged, and unreached people. Pray that we spread the Gospel far and wide this week. It's not God's will that any should perish and He wants us to pray for the unsaved and spread the Good News, bringing Him glory and filling Heaven. So, pray without ceasing that He use this ministry to bring in the lost into His merciful and loving arms.
I'll post daily reminders on:
