What does it mean to trust Jesus?
First let's answer the question who is Jesus? Jesus is God made flesh by being born
of a virgin (Mary) from the Holy Spirit. He lived a sinless life and then willingly
died for sinners to take our deserving punishment.
Back to what does it mean and how...
It means to put your complete
faith and trust in Jesus that he
died on the cross for your sins and three days later rose. Once we put our faith
in him to wash away our sins they are burried in his death. We know get a new life
born of the holy spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received,
how that Christ died for
our sins according to the scriptures;
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
My sins, I'm not that bad, I should be good enough to go to heaven?
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
If you judge your sins from man's standards or your own you will always come out
to be good enough. God's law is perfect and no one can forfill his law, but one
person, Jesus Christ.
I John 3:5 "And ye know that he (Jesus) was manifested to take away our sins; and
in him is no sin."
Still not convinced, why not take a quick test to see if you are good enough:
Test
You can be forgiven today and set free from your sins today
Today you can be saved and have eternal life, and the sure peace of knowing you
are. That is God's promise!
Simply believe, place your trust in Christ and let him save you.God assures us that
all who believe will be saved! And He further explains that our salvation is eternal
and begins the moment we put our trust in Him.
Christian maybe struggling with doubts...if you have, and do trust Christ...be assured
God Saved you.
Salvation is not based on one's feeling. I may sin and if I do as a child of God
I will feel sorry for it. I surely will not feel good when I sin. But, God has forgiven
me, even before I sinned. He did not save me because I deserved it or was good enough,
stopped committing sin or was worthy. In fact no one is worthy to be saved, because
we "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Rom. 3:23)
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us." (Roman 5:8).
You see while I was a sinner God loved me and Christ died for my sin. That is so
very clear. Further, after I believed and received Jesus Christ as my Savior, I
still am not worthy of his Grace and Love!!! I never will be. Yet, He still loves
me and still forgives the same way he did when I was first saved. I can no more
win God's favor by my good works now as I could before I was saved.....! It is His
love and Grace that keeps me saved. I will fail him, yet he will never ever fail
me.
You can receive Christ right now by repenting (change your heart about sin, turn
away from it) and put your complete faith and trust in Jesus Christ and what he
did for you on the cross.
