At Just the right time
The apostle Paul writes,
“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8.
The apostle Paul makes a statement here that at “just the right time Christ died for the ungodly”. Those ungodly people, are people like you and me.
Paul notes,
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23. That all is you and me and everyone that has ever lived.
We all fall short of what God would want for our lives. Sin is falling short of God’s expectations for you. It is doing things that God does not want you to do. And we all sin.
The apostle John states,
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives." 1John 1:9-10.
As Christians we believe that as the apostle Paul states we “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
We also believe that if “we confess our sin he is faithful just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness”.
So my question to you the reader is, do you believe this?
If so would you be willing right now to go to God in prayer, confess your sins to God, and accept the forgiveness that comes through Christ Jesus?
Please think about it.
