Kingdom Revelator Australia – Issue 90
Salvation is for all. When God banished Adam and Eve from paradise for their disobedience, He just didn’t banish them from His sight; He first clothed them with garments of skin (Genesis 3:21), and promised them a saviour (Genesis 3:15), thus portraying God’s unfathomable love for mankind.
When Jesus came, people saw the true nature of God in Him; He was always forgiving, loving, compassionate and full of mercy, and in so being Jesus drew people to Himself without much effort. As the followers of Christ today, we are called to walk in His footsteps, to bear witness to His teachings and be Christlike. This is the call of a Christian. Are we bold enough to let our lives reflect St Paul’s proclamation of faith where he says, “For I am not ashamed
of the gospel; it is God’s saving power for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek” (Romans 1:16).
No matter how big a sinner we are, be assured of God’s forgiveness; He is the one who will rejoice over a repentant sinner and reward us with eternal life. God, who did not withhold His only Son from us, does not take joy in seeing us perish. He called us to be His children in faith. “But when the fullness
of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children (Galatians 4:4-5).
Jesus showed us how to walk in complete obedience to His Father’s will. God promised life everlasting in return for obedience. Are you willing to follow in obedience to the will of God, even if the path is rocky and there is endless suffering in your life? This is the challenge for the committed Christian.
