- Jesus is the one in whom we find salvation. Acts 4:12 says “there is
salvation in no else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among
men, by which we must be saved.” We must believe in Him and He will save us into life
everlasting. Life is full when we are living according to God’s plan for our lives
and when we are submitted to His plan for our lives! Why don’t you accept Christ
today?
- Jesus is the one who paid a great price for us and He will rescue
us from an empty way of life. I
Peter 1:18,19 says, “For you know that it was not with perishable things such as
silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from
your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or
defect.” When we feel that something is missing we can look to Christ for greater
meaning in our lives.
- Jesus is the one who will cleanse us and make us a new creation.
He wants to give us a new outlook and the ability, through His Spirit, to follow Him. I Corinthians 5:17 tells us,
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new
has come!” He will not only forgive us for our sins and cleanse our lives, but He
will also give us the power to live fresh, clean, new lives!
- Jesus is the one who gives us access to the Father who warmly
welcomes us to be His children. We have a privileged relationship with Him. Jesus, through
the cross, has given us access to the heavenly Father and all of the love and power that
He is. Romans 8:15,16 says,
“For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you
received the Spirit of sonship. And by Him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’
The Spirit
himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.” When we come to
Christ we find a new family. Romans
15:7 says, “Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to
bring praise to God.” When we lock arms with other believers we are never alone as we
strive for integrity in Christ.
- Jesus is the way that we receive nourishment and growth
spiritually. God wants to teach us through His Word. When we are guided by the Holy Spirit
we will learn from the Word of God. You can look forward to learning from your Father in
heaven when you meditate on the Word of God. II Timothy 3:16,17 explains
why we need to read the Word of God: “All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may
be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
- Jesus is part of the Trinity. The Trinity is the Godhead which
consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are one God while at the same
time they are equal in power and glory. Matthew 28:19, 20 speaks of
the Trinity, “. . . baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. . .
