December 18, 2015 Today's reading: Amos 6 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10 What does being lost mean? The eternal Son of God became man because He cared for the lost. A lost condition today frequently signifies that modern man finds himself in a state of solitude or abandonment. In the Bible, the word "lost" has the more drastic meaning of "having no other prospect than eternal condemnation". The son of God saw what mankind had become through sin: lost, separated from God and without any right to a place in heaven. Therefore, He came to earth to seek and to save. Man is fleeing from God, rather than approaching Him. He is behaving like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, hiding from God. But God did not simply let them go. In His love, He took the initiative, went after them and called "Where are you?" Adam and Eve's sin was forgiven. That this was at all possible they owed to the One they did not know, but whom we know: Jesus Christ who came "to seek and to save that which was lost." He was born to die, suffering God's judgment for the guilt of sinners. That is the only way of salvation. Man cannot undo the guilt of his life, nor can he save himself. He is lost. It is up to us to admit our guilt and lost state and be found through the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is the only way to take hold of the salvation offered us. |

Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:18) God in His grace has centered every blessing for us in Christ.

Open Heavens for Friday, January 10, 2014 by Pastor E.A Adeboye SPIRITUAL WARFARE I When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More |
