(John 19:30 NKJV) So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
“It is finished.” These are the most significant words spoken in the history of man.
These 3 words represent the beginning of salvation for man and the end of the power of death.
Jesus came and walked this earth for this reason… to give His life for us. It is this that gives us salvation. It is this that gives us freedom from sin. It is this that makes us righteous. We just need to claim it.
You have been bought with a price. There’s nothing that you can do to add to it. Jesus paid it all and made it possible for us to stand before God, spotless and clean. We just need to ask for it.
Have you accepted the offer of salvation that Jesus made for you on that terrible cross? If not, you need to! It’s not difficult and you don’t need to feel like you have to clean yourself up before you can come to God.
Come to Him first and then let Him help you with the cleanup process afterward. It’s a very simple thing to do. Just ask Him! If you have never accepted God’s offer of salvation and forgiveness for your sins, just say this prayer or something similar in your own words:
God, I know I am a sinner. Please forgive me for my sins and make me a new creation. I believe Jesus died for me. I want to live my life for you. Amen.
That’s all there is to it! If you prayed that prayer for the first time, congratulations! You are now a child of God! Your sins have been forgiven and you are starting with a clean slate.
If you have just been saved, be sure to write to us and tell us. We want to share in your joy!
