The Right Time… It’s Your Time!

Galatians 4:3-7 NLT.
3 And that’s the way it was with us before Christ came. We were like children; we were slaves to the basic spiritual principles of this world.
4 But when THE RIGHT TIME came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. 5 God sent Him to buy freedom For US who were slaves to the law, so that HE could adopt us as his very own children. 6 And because we are HIS children, God has sent the Holy Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”7 Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child.[e] And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.
God tells us in these verses that we were slaves to sin and servants to sin until God sent His Son, Jesus, to redeem us. How and why? Since God loves us, He wants us to be with Him in heaven forever. But since God is also just, (look up the word JUST pertaining to God.) like the just judge, He cannot ignore our Sins and crimes; there must be a price paid for these Sins. God is so Holy that the good things we do could not possibly outweigh the Sins we commit, whether we think that is fair or not. There is only one sacrifice that would pay the sufficient penalty for our sins. So, what is that sacrifice?
Do you remember how the Israelites would sacrifice a perfect lamb periodically as a sacrifice for their sins? But this wasn’t sufficient and they had to keep sacrificing lamb after lamb. When Jesus the perfect Lamb of God came to earth as man and as God, He allowed Himself to be sacrificed on the cross, and His blood then paid the full penalty for all of our sins. Jesus redeemed each and every one of us just as these verses say. But as with any gift, it must be accepted or we do not have it. Have you invited Jesus Christ into your heart, if not what’s stopping you. You can pray this simple yet sincere prayer inviting Jesus Christ into your heart. Jesus I accept your free gift of Eternal Life that you offer to me. The door of my heart is open and I invite you to come in and wash me clean from all my Sins. I accept you as my Lord and Savior, in Jesus mighty name.
If you prayed that prayer I welcome you to the family of God.
