Light 4 Jesus

What makes the Gospel of Christ truly Good News is encapsulated in Romans 8:1-4. Verse one offers hope and assurance to believers, proclaiming, “ There is t herefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” . To truly comprehend the significance of these verses, we must be mindful that salvation is an irrevocable gift from God, one that cannot be taken away. Furthermore, this gift was obtained on our behalf by the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ. Therefore, it cannot be obtained through works and our own efforts. So, let's unpack the profound message contained in Romans 8:1-4. What Does It Mean That Believers Are Not Condemned? In our flesh, we have never been able to remain sinless due to its inherent weakness and susceptibility to corruption. We have all sinned, making everyone unrighteous and guilty before God , who is just and holy. Because of this, we are all deserving of paying the penalty fo...

In continuation with the theme of being saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, let's delve into the profound words of Jesus Himself spoken in John 6:28–29. These words offered clarity to His followers when they earnestly sought to understand what they needed to do to carry out the works of God. In response, Jesus provided a simple yet profound answer: the work of God is to believe in Him, the Son of God, whom the Father sent. The Foundation of Faith Prior to this statement, Jesus makes it abundantly clear that He gives Salvation to those who believe in him and that it is the will of God the Father. John 6:27 NKJV -  Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you , because God the Father has set His seal on Him.” Seeking Signs and Believing in His Work As the dialogue continued, His followers posed a question: John 6:30 NKJV - Therefore they said to Him, “ What sign will You perform then...

As believers, we are set apart by the undeniable promise of salvation–which comes only through faith in the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ–and the absence of condemnation. This divine assurance is articulated in John 3:18-21, where Jesus proclaimed the power of faith in Him and the unshakable hope it provides for those who walk this path. However, this passage also contrasts the fate of the unbeliever, explaining why they refuse to come to the Light. Peace with God Before being born again , we were enemies of God, separated from Him, because of the sinful nature of our flesh. But now, as believers, we are not merely granted peace of mind; we have something far greater—peace with God Himself. This peace is immensely significant because it is only obtained through the redeeming blood of Jesus which reconciles us with God. Moreover, this peace ensures that the wrath of God will pass over us on the Day of Judgment. Our guarantee of this is that we are sealed with the promised Holy...

There is only one message that holds the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, and that is the Gospel of Christ, also known as the Good News. In fact, this message is so significant that the Bible says that anyone who distorts and shares a false gospel, which is not the true Gospel, should be accursed. So let's delve into the true Gospel which God has given us because of His great love for us . The Gospel in a Nutshell Ephesians 2:4-9 gives us a clear understanding of the Gospel of Christ: Salvation is a free gift that  is only received by the unmerited grace of God. God's grace is only obtained  through faith in the complete works of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.  The Gospel unequivocally states that we cannot save ourselves through works and good deeds, regardless of how righteous we may think we are: Our righteousness is as filthy rags to God . Therefore, the message of the Gospel is designed to humble us, leading us to repentance as we begin to...
