Message from Scripture: 9/25/2020

Our message from Scripture today is Heb. 7:25. ^“ Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”

Christianity is based on the reality of an empty tomb, and that tomb being empty because the one who was placed there has risen over death. Christianity continues as a dynamic faith because those who put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ have found Him to be a living presence and a continuing power in their lives. What does Christ, who lives forever, offer us for our lives today?

Jesus lives to be our Savior from the penalty of sin. Paul reminds us, “Just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness, resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Rom. 5:21).

Jesus lives to be our Savior from the power of sin. Paul affirmed, “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 15:56-57).

Jesus lives to be our Savior over the presence of sin. Again Paul tells us, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Cor. 5:17).

While we struggle with sin in this existence, if we are in Christ, our Lord lives to provide what we need to be successful in Christian living, in living for the hope of eternal life. Have a great day today, knowing Christ is always there for you. God bless.
