To save the lost
In the gospel of Luke we read,
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."
Here as we would put it in industry today is Jesus’ job description.
The apostle Paul writing,
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8.
Earlier in Romans 3: 23,24 Paul tells us,
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:23,24
We cannot live a perfect life. We all fall short of what God wants for our life. That’s why the apostle Paul tells us,
“For our sake he made him [Jesus] to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Corinthians 5:20.
We Christians believe we cannot work our way to heaven. In the book of Ephesians we read,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8,9.
Thus we must humble ourselves before God. Confess our sins and ask God to come into our lives.
