Jesus Saves YOU!

Colossians 1:21&22
"21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled
22 In the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight:"

But, Wait! There's more!
Not only was Jesus BOTH the priest and the sacrifice!  "the LAMB of GOD, which taketh AWAY the SIN of the WORLD." as John the Baptizer introduced  Him, also Jesus preformed reconciliation. We all fall away from God's teaching and we insist on doing our own thing. Which is sin. This is a deep disagreement between God and all people. This disagreement the Son settled once and for all on the cross. The Lamb of God, the priceless sacrifice. And, as Paul points out in the verse not merely all humanity, but “all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven.” This is, indeed, only a fuller exposition of the truth that God was in Christ reconciling the world, or as the Greeks would express it; the KOSMOS! That's everything!!

And, we can deceive ourselves and trick our heart and mind to think that Jesus did not save me. But, you would be wrong, today's verses; "And YOU, that were sometime ALIENATED and ENEMIES in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled In the body of His flesh through death, to present YOU holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight:" That's YOU that think God didn't mean to save you. That's YOU that think you messed up too many times for GOD to still care. That's YOU that thinks you can never be good enough for God. That's YOU that GOD wants to save... YOU. Look in the mirror, God died on the cross for YOU.
I know it's unbelievable, but it's TRUE! 
JESUS SAVES YOU.

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

we also...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
