Our God Cares
During these days of uncertainty, you and I need to know there is a God who cares for us. A God who understands the fundamental need for good health, and who can give hope for tomorrow. The Bible points you and I to Jesus as the answer for all of our spiritual needs who came into our world and experienced what it means to be human. The Bible also clearly teaches that Jesus is Devine, the Son of God in human flesh. He came to lay down His life as the ultimate sacrifice for sin: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” (John 3:16-17) The sacrifice of Jesus is God’s unique gift of forgiveness and hope, offered to all who will repent and receive it.
We are at peace with God when we have accepted the forgiveness and new life that Jesus offers. How do we come to this experience? Paul answers that important question in Romans 10:9-10: “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” In verse 13 Paul makes this wonderful promise: "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." When we confess the Lordship of Jesus, we are saying to the world that we have passed into a saving relationship with Him as our Savior and Lord. We have had a spiritual rebirth, and have come to the realization that God does care.
Do you have a personal relationship with the living Lord of the universe – Jesus, the one who died for your sin, and rose again for your justification on the third day? For each one of us who has by faith, confessed Jesus as our Lord, there is the wonderful experience of living a new life in Christ Jesus because, we have come into a living relationship with Him. Now we can live through any crisis, confidant that our God knows and cares.
Today, let us give thanks to our God who knows and cares.
