We Are Redeemed

Last night my pastor read from God's word about why we are redeemed. It is to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. I have been to Venezuela to tell of God's love and His plan for us. But for now, I will tell of Jesus and His love using this blog. I may only reach a few people with God's message of hope but then they will tell others and then they will tell others and soon it will be a lot of people. If you are reading this, it is no accident. God oversees all things and He calls a lot of people to hear His word and to make a choice of repentance from sinful ways.
Lord, I pray for the lost. I do not think they understand the meaning of separation from You for eternity. The reality of hell, the constant torment that they will deserve because they could not bow to Your majesty. I have no words except Yours and Your grace is sufficent. Amen
Luke 23:2-4  And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king." And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so." Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no guilt in this man."
We had a need of a savior who was sinless. Jesus provided that need, he is the only way.
Acts 4:10-12 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead--by him this man is standing before you well.  This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."Our purpose and mission for Christ as we are witnesses to His Resurrection.Acts 2:31-33  he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. Jesus is seated at the right hand of God to make intercession on our behalf. Don't deny Him. He will soon come to take us home. Be ready, trust in Him!
