Jesus, the son of God, came to this world (Matthew 1:23) that we may have a more than abundant life. (John 10:10) He who never sinned took all of our sins on himself so that we could become righteous. (2 Corinthians 5:21) We can't earn righteousness. (Romans 3:21-31) We can only become righteous through Jesus Christ. (John 10:9-11) We are saved by faith. Ephesians 2:8-9) To become saved we only need to confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and that God raised him from the dead. (Romans 10:9-10) Regardless of what you've done, regardless of what you need to overcome, regardless of how damaged, sinful or unlovable you think you are Jesus died to set you free because he loves you. (Galatians 5:1) Won't you give your heart to Jesus today and let him set you free from slavery to sin?
***Scripture:
📖 Matthew 1:23 NIV
[23] “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
📖John 10:10 NIV
[10] The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
📖 2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV
[21] God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
📖 Romans 3:21-31 NIV
[21] But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. [22] This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, [23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, [24] and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. [25] God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— [26] he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. [27] Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. [28] For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. [29] Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, [30] since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. [31] Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
📖 John 10:9-11 NIV
[9] I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. [10] The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. [11] “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
📖 Galatians 5:1 NIV
[1] It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
