Getting Right With God

Romans 3:23-25 (NLT) 23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. 24 Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. 25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past,

There are a lot of ideas out there about how to “get” to God. Some people feel that you need to work extra hard and others think you need to chant a certain prayer. Getting to God is as simple as accepting what God has done for us by sending Jesus Christ as the payment for our sins. His blood was shed as the ultimate sacrifice for all mankind. Man is very empty and is looking everywhere to fill that emptiness. The only thing they find is more emptiness. God made a way – through Jesus. He fills the void in our life. We didn’t deserve His love but He gave it anyway. He made a way for all of us to be right with God. He paid the penalty of our sins. It is available for us right now – God’s underserved kindness because He loves us.
