God sent His own Son down to earth to save us. Jesus died for our sins, and God promised to forgive us our sins if we accept Jesus as Lord in our lives. But that was only the beginning of God’s plan!
Jesus loves you so much and wants you to feel that love everyday!
He hated the lusts and desires in His human flesh. He hated them so much that He denied and crucified them—every day He put sin to death. That’s why the death on the cross on Calvary didn’t have power over Him, and He rose from the dead and showed Himself to His disciples, before returning to heaven to be with His Father!
An important part of the story of Jesus was the life He lived! He was here, He was a man, and He was tempted—in all points, just like us. But He didn’t sin!
Jesus is our forerunner; He lived the life, and made footsteps for us to follow.
It says clearly that, as His disciples, we are called to follow in the footsteps of a man who committed no sin. That means that we are also called to live without committing sin!You see, Jesus didn’t just go back to heaven to hang out with His Father, and leave us here struggling in our own sin and unhappiness. He promised to send the Holy Spirit to help, teach and give us power to overcome.
We need to pray for help to stop doing that which we know is wrong—to stop doing our own will instead of God’s will. “But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy.’” 1 Peter 1:15.
