Lost and Found
Isaiah 1:18
“Come
now let us reason together,” says the LORD. “No matter
how
deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it.
I can make you
as
clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if
you are stained as red as
crimson,
I can make you as white as wool.” (NLT)
What a
profound declaration of the Truth this is from our holy and righteous God. What an encouraging promise this is from the
Savior who continually pursues the lost so they can be cleansed and made
righteous. But make no doubt about it, dear friend, just as Christ pursues His
lost and wayward people, so too, does the Enemy pursue your soul and will do
anything to pull you away from God, hoping to stain you with so much sin that
you will believe that God could never forgive you. Do not believe this lie, for God so loved the
world that He gave His One and only Son to be the perfect and final sacrificial
Lamb of God. This single act of perfect love and justice is the complete
atonement of mankind’s sin and rebellion.
And it's for you as well.
Many
lost and wandering souls are led into a life of sin by the lies of Satan and
his godless world view, which has no godly purpose or lasting value. It's much
like chasing the wind until you run off a cliff. Most of these deceived people pursue things
that feel good for the moment, but are unaware of its meaningless, short
sightedness, and is eternally deadly.
Most of our world operates against the very grain of God’s will and many
of its people are desperate for something that will fill the empty gap and give
us peace. And there is only One Person
and One Way to fill that desire; the death and resurrection of our Lord God and
Savior, Jesus Christ. He sets us free
from the power of sin and of death. He
removes the shame and guilt of our sinful past and gives us a new lease on
life—an eternal life. The forgiveness
and the cleansing power of Christ Jesus is complete, and no one who has the
breath of life is ever too lost to be found.
Complete forgiveness and redemption, is but a breath away for anyone who
truly longs for peace, hope, and forgiveness.
A
Whisper of Hope
Come
to Me…My dear child, and I will fill the emptiness that only I can
fill. This delusional world is filled
with false hope and confusion, making it difficult to escape its darkness. But take heart, for I have overcome the world
for you and your redemption is but a decision away. I not only bring you salvation, but also My
peace and wisdom the weather the storms until the day I bring you Home.
1 John 1:9
But
if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just
to
forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong.
(NLT)
“Behold! The Lamb of God
who takes
away the sin of the world!
(John
1:29)
