Your Role In Christ’s Death
Please allow this passage to be a reminder that you played a role in the crucifixion if Jesus Christ. Your sin nailed Him to the cross. Remember, God is Omnipresent. This means that He is present at all times forever. He saw your sins before you were born. He added them to the price Jesus paid. But be careful. Do not think that this knowledge gives you the “right” to sin as much as you want “since God has seen them all anyway.” That would be a grave mistake. You cannot love Christ AND pursue a life of sin. (Read that again) Jesus said, multiple times, if you love Him, obey His commands. At no time has Jesus ever commanded us to sin. If you’re unsure of how to define sin, use this simple one from James 4:17: Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, for him it is sin.” But wait, there’s more. In 2 Kings 22, we learn that even when you are unaware that what you are doing is sin, God holds you accountable anyway. This means, sinning, whether you know you are doing it or not, is punishable by death (Romans 6:23). This is why I always encourage you to read your Bible daily. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. Acts 3:13-16 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. 14 You disowned the Holyand Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. 15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. 16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see. Today’s Reading: Acts 3
