Devotion for Today

He gave me eternal life!

February 28, 2013

These things have I written unto you that believe . . . that ye may know that ye have eternal life . . .
–1 John 5:13

Recently I read that it will cost this country a hundred billion dollars to get one man safely to Mars. It cost God the priceless blood of His only Son to get us sinners to heaven. By tasting death for every man, Jesus took over our penalty as He erased our guilt. Now God can forgive. In a moment of thanksgiving, Paul once exclaimed, “He loved me and gave Himself for me!” Will you repeat these words right now, even as you read? If you do, I believe you will have cause to be thankful too, and that you will experience the love of God in your heart. Try it and see. The Bible teaches that you can be absolutely sure that you are saved.

Prayer for the day

Father, although my finite mind cannot understand all the wonders of the Gospel, I thank You for the assurance of my salvation through Christ.

O Death, where is thy sting? To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord... I will remeber this always when I see my loved ones passing... Oh, the Joy to be with Christ!

It's time to take a spiritual bath! Ask Jesus to come in and wash away all the sin we have placed on our own lives through the sin nature. Take up your cross daily. Sin is sin big or small he will forgive and cleanse them all!

Jeanne says 2.28.2012, 06:52 a.m.

Jesus died for my and your sins so that we may live. Without Him I would be lost. I pray that everyone will get to know Him and experience His unconditional love.

Jesus died on the cross for our sins. We must follow the path of righteousness at all times and do only what is pleasing to Him. Thank you Jesus!

If Satan asks whether I am rich,I may be confused. If he asks whether I am well,I may not argue with him. But if he asks whether I am saved. I will jump up and say Yes! Because that is the only question he will never ask unbelievers. If he does, they will consider it and desert him. So eternal life is mine and Satan has no business with it. Hallelujah!

Dear Jehovah God,Thank thee for the continuous rain, once in awhile sunshine, and wind gentle breeze to revive us all sinners who are perhaps unworthy of death so never to mention about becoming thy chosen vessels for Holy Spirit

The price was extremely high but God's Love was so great for us that he gave his only Son's life. That sacrifice was so huge that I honestly have no idea how to adequately thank him.

THANK YOU JESUS. THANK YOU

Gerry says 2.28.2011, 07:11 a.m.

There is no back door into Heaven although many lost sinners may try. God's word is specific about how to get there . Simply acknowledge that Jesus Christ is his Son , he gave his life as payment in full for our sin debt and rose again . Try it and you will be amazed .................

Jesus on the cross sealed man's deliverance from sin which was a stumbling block till then in man's relationship with God.
