Dear Friend,
It’s most likely you have heard how
much God, the creator of the heavens and the earth is in love with you. It’s
also very probable that you've heard that only the blood of Jesus, the only
begotten Son of God can cleanse you from your sins.
However, do you know that God’s amazing
package of salvation for you is far more than forgiveness and remission of
sins? Forgiveness of sins, redemption from the bondage of the devil,
justification which basically means being declared righteous and sanctification
which basically means being made holy are all included in God’s blessing to any
repentant soul, yet, it doesn't end there.
The focal point of God’s irresistible
offer to you is that that you will become a bonafide member of His family. God
says to everyone who turns from sin and comes to Him through Christ, “I will be
a Father unto you and you will be my sons and daughters” (2 Cor. 6:18). And the
Apostle John also recorded about Jesus, “As many as received Him, to them He
gave the right to become the children of God, even to those who believe in His
name” (John 1:12).
God is not only willing to forgive and
cleanse us; He desires to make us His children. He wants to be our Father with
Jesus being the firstborn among many brethren (Rom 8:29). This has been God’s
big plan for the whole of mankind from the very beginning. Do you have an idea
what it means to be a child of the Most High?
Romans 8:17
says, “If
children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ”. The
inheritance you are entitled to when you become one of His Children is not just
some material things you can gather here and there. God Himself becomes your
heritage, “I am your exceedingly great reward” (Gen 15:1). “The earth is the
Lord’s and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein (Ps. 24:1).
The earth and all its fullness, all creation, all things in heaven and
on earth, all diamond and all gold belong to God by right. He has the right of
ownership on everything because He created them all. Yet see what He offers us
– Himself. All that God is and has, His eternal life, His power, His wisdom, and His Kingdom are
laid out for us to inherit. “For all things are yours.
And you are Christ’s: and Christ is God’s” (1 Cor. 3: 21, 23). When you have Him you
have everything.
So what is it going to be? Will you
take this offer or will you just to let it go? Will you continue your life the
same way? Can you hear Him knocking on the door of your heart? Won’t you rather
let the Savior in? Why allow the devil rob you of all that the loving Savior
has for you?
Jesus says,
“Look I have been standing at the door and I am constantly knocking. If anyone
hears Me calling him and opens the door, I will come in and fellowship with him
and he with Me.” Revelation 3:20
