PAUSE TO REMEMBER 2

Heb. 12:1-3

It’s easy to forget, or neglect, or take for granted our salvation. It is why we must keep focusing our thoughts on God’s Word. We must revisit Calvary often. We must stay focused on Jesus who provide for us our salvation.

Remember Jesus, who died for our sins. Jesus began the plan of salvation. Before the very foundation of the earth was laid, the plan of salvation was conceived. God gave mankind the freedom to choose to live in and for Him or not. No one is forced to become a child of God. God knew before He created man the way He did that most would reject Him, but because of His love for us, He did not let us die in our sins and be cast out of His presence forever. He created the perfect way for sinful man to be made right with God, Jesus would die in our place.

Jesus not only planned our salvation, He carried it out. God sent Jesus to us to die for our sins. He lovingly became one of us so that He could save us from ourselves and our sins. Jesus alone was qualified to die for our sins, because He alone lived a sinless life in the flesh.

Not only did Jesus create and carry out salvation’s plan, He’s coming again to complete the plan. When Jesus rose from the grave, He made it possible for us to rise from the grave and go to heaven. He tore away the barriers that kept us from God. He did for us the impossible; He made us righteous and holy before God and fit for heaven. Jesus is coming again soon to complete what He started and is now doing in our lives. We have a sure hope , eternal life in God’s presence.

Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our salvation. Don’t lose sight of Him and He will finish what He started when He saved you. Don’t let anything distract you from your life in Christ. It will be worth it all when we see Jesus.
