132 God's Promises of Salvation for You
Think about this: Jesus is your source of salvation, freedom from what holds you back, healing for your hurts, and the power to make your life whole again. You were once lost in your mistakes and wrongdoings, but because of what Christ did for you, what was meant for death is now overflowing with life.
God's love for you is immense. Knowing you couldn't save yourself from the things that pull you down, God sent his only Son, who was perfect and without fault, so you could be saved. It's through Jesus' sacrifice that you're washed clean.
Every bit of pain Jesus endured was so you could experience the joy of a life free from condemnation, a life where you can truly be free when you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. Acts 4:12 puts it this way: "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." No one else has the power to rescue and redeem your life, only Jesus.
Come boldly before God today. Admit where you've fallen short and receive forgiveness and salvation. God loves you deeply and has longed for a close relationship with you since the very beginning of creation.
I urge you to come to Jesus, surrender your heart to him, and reconcile with God so you can avoid eternal suffering. Salvation is a gift freely offered to everyone, but so few truly grasp its incredible value. Don't take this opportunity lightly. Turn away from what's wrong, follow God's path, cherish the gift of salvation, and be thankful for the chance to embrace Christ as your Savior. Hallelujah!
