Welcome to “God’s Word to You”!
God’s Word to You today is found in Luke 23:36-43
36The soldiers also mocked Him, coming up to Him, offering Him sour wine,
37and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!”
38Now there was also an inscription above Him, “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
39One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!”
40But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?
41“And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.”
42And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!”
43And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”
I often get messages from those who either are unsure of their salvation or of a loved one. Today I want to give peace to them. Maybe you are one of them.
We tend to judge each other. All of us do it. So all of us sin whether we are saved or not. Confessing that sin is important but it doesn’t change our salvation.
We are either saved or not. Period. No ifs ands or buts about it.
We either are or we are not.
But the answer to being saved is if we have come to Jesus and asked for His mercy, whether we believe in Him or not and if we have thrown ourselves at His feet.
Not how much we have thrown ourselves. And yes we should do good works if we are His. We should never sin again. Whew we all fall short on that one huh?
Our duty as His children on this earth is to show His love to everyone we meet. Our duty as His children is to help others know Him and to grow in our faith and maturity not judge others because we don’t think they understand or perform or work to what we think His standards are. Because only He can say:
“Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”
Don’t be a Pharisee, be a child of Jesus. Don’t work expecting rewards work because you love Him.
Most of all love…
me n’ God love ya
