God’s Word is our Hope. And the Apostle John said "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us!" His name? Jesus!
Romans 5:19 is just one verse from God’s Word that assures our souls with Hope because of Jesus. Listen and be encouraged:
"For just as through the disobedience of the one man (Adam) the many were made sinners, so also through the one man (Jesus) the many will be made righteous." (NIV)
Let’s embrace the Hope that is ours in Romans 5:19. Though we were declared sinners because of the disobedience of the fallen Adam, we can now be declared righteous, yes, in right relationship with God, because of the obedience of the lifted-up Jesus.
The hymnwriter was inspired to write these wonder-filled words: "Be Thou my vision, Oh Lord of my Heart... Thou my best thought by day or by night. THY PRESENCE MY LIGHT!"
So, let us -- once and forever -- fix our gaze and transfix our thoughts on the sacrificed Son of God, Jesus, and be transformed from our never-ending spiritual death to His everlasting spiritual life. Though we were once desperate sinners, we can now be devoted saints.
Note: A saint in one who now chooses to belong exclusively to God -- THY PRESENCE NOW MY LIGHT. A sinner is someone who chooses to still belong exclusively to sin and willingly forfeits eternal life.
Presence Matters Most!
That is... Presence. Unity. Souls. Love.
Pastor Kerry Willis
