My attention recently was caught by a Scottish Widows advertising campaign slogan, it said...
‘Change your life today’!
That seems a bit dramatic - Is it really possibly to have a personal revolution in a day?
Being honest there are not many things that cause a transformation in a day; but it could happen. Let me give you one example there are others. For instance, you could meet an individual who changes your life for ever. The love of your life! You have just been introduced or your paths have only crossed but immediately your heart is captured and things are never quite the same again.
For some people their first encounter with Jesus of Nazareth changed them from that day forward. His grace and love captured their hearts. The voice of God stirred their spirit and they became aware of their failings and sin. The feeling of guilt was crushing as they discovered how rebellious they were by nature and why life hurt so much. The outcomes and consequences of sins were devastating but what blew them away was that 'Christ died for our sins'. He, the holy Son of God paid in person the full price God required to clear the guilty and forgive the fallen.
The words of the Bible, despite being shocking in their starkness and truthfulness, ring true to reality and are in tune with the human conscience.
Let me remind you of the blunt, basic but honest truths of the Bible:
In respect of wrong that is found in every human being:
‘All have sinned’
‘The soul that sins shall die’
‘The wages of sin is death’
Sinful people 'will be cast into hell’
In supporting the claim that Jesus is the only means of rescue (salvation)
Jesus said ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life no one comes to the Father (God) but by me’
'Neither is there salvation in any other' (only Jesus)
'Through this man (Jesus) is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins'
In explaining what you need to do to take advantage of God’s rescue plan
'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved'
'Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved'
'Repent and believe the gospel'
The truth is there!
The choice is will you believe!
Your life could be changed, in a moment!
