Saved By The Cross

Good Morning!! Almost every major world religion teaches that, if you are good enough and follow their set of rules, then you will be alright. But the cross of Christ unmistakably shouts to the world, "You cannot save yourself! You cannot be good enough for God!" That is why Jesus had to die for us to be saved. 

Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.—Galatians 5:11 (NIV)

 

Why are so many people so offended at the claims of Christianity? It is not because Christ requires good works, because almost any religion does that. The reason the cross of Christ is so offensive is that it shows that salvation cannot be earned. It means we must turn to God for help and healing and rescue.

 

 It's only by free, unearned and un-earnable grace, that we can be saved.

 

 

Dear Lord, give us the strength and the wisdom to be totally committed to You.

Guide us away from the temptations and distractions of this world,

so that we might fully honor You with our thoughts, our actions and our prayers.

Amen.

 

"Feed Your faith, and your doubts will starve to death."
