Will you accept Christ Jesus today?
Matthews gospel records,
“While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and “sinners” came and ate with him and his disciples.
When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and ‘sinners’?”
On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Matthew 9:10-13.
Jesus here makes it clear why He came to earth. To reach the sinner for God. To point the sinner to heaven. To show God’s mercy to all who would believe in Him.
The apostle Paul points out,
"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 are all sinners. We all fall short of the glory of God. But all who believe in Christ Jesus are redeemed through Christ’s death on the cross.
The apostle Paul pointing out,
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8.
The apostle John tells us,
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1John 1:9.
Will you confess your sin to God today and accept Christ Jesus into your life today?
Please think about it.
