Topic : Accept The Forgiveness
Bible Verse: Luke 23:43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
Message: Bible says Jesus was crucified between 2 criminals; of which one of them received the precious salvation; the Other didn't. We have few important learnings here. Firstly, the saved criminal was ready to accept his sin and acknowledge that he is a sinner. (Luke:23:41) When Holy Spirit convicts our sins we have to get alerted and accept it (John:16:8). Secondly, the criminal had the fear of God, which is to hate the sin (Luke:23:40 & Proverbs:8:13). We should hate evil and be ready to leave it (Proverbs:28:13). Thirdly, he trusted on the salvation through works of Jesus on the cross (Luke:23:42). We are justified through God's work and not ours. Finally we see the testimony in life of Jesus which saved a sinner even at that last moment. Our lives should witness Christ Jesus (Isaiah:43:12)
Prayer: Dear Lord! Help us to accept your forgiveness and live as a testimony for you. continue to speak with us, In Jesus Name, Amen!
