Selfless Faith

In Matthew 9:2 Jesus is having a conversation with a man:

² Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.“

Thank You God for Your forgiving heart. We are sinful people but you love us so much that you wiped us clean of our sins through the blood of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Your Lamb, the sacrifice for our sins. We thank You God that we will never have to face Your wrath. We are so blessed to read, hear, know, and truly believe with all our hearts when You say, “your sins are forgiven.” Many people do not have the peace to know that their sins are forgiven because they are expecting to be judged by You. We know we have already been judged; our old nature was crucified with Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, on the cross; we were buried with Him, and when He rose again, we rose with Him in our new nature, our new body, our new creation in Jesus Christ. We have truly experienced the gift of salvation. So to everyone, remember, as long as you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, “your sins are forgiven.”

If anyone does not have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, and would like your sins forgiven too, just admit to Him that you are a sinner, ask Him to forgive you of your sins, and to come into your life; you will then be made whole and new through the power of the Holy Spirit from Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

In the John 8:14, Jesus says to the Pharisees “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.”

I am at peace because Jesus has comforted my spirit and soul. He assuredly told us He knows exactly where He came from, and exactly where He is going. Now He asks us to follow Him which means if we follow Him, He will lead us to the same place He resides. Jesus, the Christ, provides us with perfect completion for our lives. Before we came to know and truly trust in Christ, our lives were some type of crazy movie with alternate endings, but we all died in the end. Once we came to Christ, He told us exactly where we are going, and were are no longer anxious. Our souls are calm because we have that certainty. There is no other person who has been able to tell their followers where they are going because they did not know where they came from or where they were going themselves. That feeling of uncertainty definitely leaves their followers in fear their entire life. However, Christ completes our hope because He IS our salvation and our redeemer. In Christ, the Kingdom of God is no longer a hope, but a promise. God always keeps His promises, so most assuredly, we know where we are going. My spirit and soul rests in that certainty.
