As followers of Jesus Christ, it is
vital that we not only treasure our relationship with God (made possible only
by Christ’s work on the Cross), but we also must be willing to give up anything
which stands between God and us. God wants us to surrender all aspects of our
lives to Him. Therefore, when we do not surrender, He will lead us into
difficult situations to bring us into the right perspective of focusing only
upon Him. God wants us to go to Him first whenever we are faced with any issues
in life.
The Only True God as depicted in the
Bible is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last (Isa 44:6, Rev 22:13).
He is God and there is none other (Isa 44:6). He is the One who laid the
foundation of the earth (Job 38:4, Isa 48:13, Psa 102:25, Heb 1:10). He
asks that all of us look to Him and be saved (Isa 45:22).
All of us are like sheep which have turned astray (Isa 53:6) and that is why the Bible states that we have sinned against the Only True God (Rom 3:23).The wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23) and this is why we find that death comes to all men. No matter who you are, you will die one day. This happens because we all have sinned against God.
The Gospel (Good News) is God did not
forsake us but desires that we are reconciled back to Him (2 Cor 5:18-19). God
sacrificed His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ to bear all of our sins (Isa
53:4-5). Being satisfied with Christ’s
work on the Cross, God resurrected Him from the dead (1 Cor 15:3-5). Christ has
helped us to remove our sin issue which has hindered our relationship with God
since ages past once and for all (Heb 10:10)!
If you have not trusted in Jesus
Christ as your personal LORD and Savior, what is your response to God’s Great
Love for you as described above? The Only True God of the Bible, who has
created you in His Image and breathed the breath of life into you, has also
taken the initiative to make a way out for you in order to be reconciled back
to Him and have a relationship with Him. If you still have questions, please
feel free to watch this video to learn more about the Gospel.
For those of us who have responded, we have a relationship with the Only True God of the Bible. However, we need to place our relationship with God above all other priorities in our lives. We need to treasure our relationship with God and work at this relationship by ensuring that our hearts are solely belonged to Him. In other words, we should be like King David – a man after God’s Heart.
