3rd March The solution: man has to be renewed An inner renewing is necessary. How is this possible? It is possible through the effect of the Word of God which is living and permanent. The Bible is acknowledged as true. So the believer can profit of everything which Christ has obtained for him; he is under his banner, in his camp. He is also led and protected by him. So, first of all God offers his forgiveness of sins to everybody who repents genuinly before him and who believes in Jesus Christ. This is not all: God also wishes to change him; he wants to give him a new heart, a heart which loves good and hates evil and which produces thoughts which are approved by God. God makes a new creation out of man. Don't you feel the weight and the might of your sins on you? Don't you want to be delivered from your sins? You feel unable to deliver yourself. Like that you will avoid useless efforts! Faith is such an easy approach. When I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ I acknowledge his godly nature. I submit myself to his authority. I receive forgiveness for my sins like a free gift. However, Jesus had to pay for this gift by his sacrifice on the cross. Now I can speak to him and tell him everything which preceeds with respect and with confidence. There is no procedure, no delay, no agent and no expenses. It is even availabe to a simple-minded and shy child. |
