God Still Speaks

Nicodemus learned strait away that being religous is not enough to enter into the kingdom of God. Jesus is very clear that we must be born again. The word "Must" is a key word. The born again experience is not optional, but a necesity if we are to be saved. People today are still trying to appease God through religion, they fail to look at what Jesus did for us on the cross. The snake that moses lifted up was made of brass. Brass speaks of judgment. God judged our sins on Jesus, He became a curse so that the mercy of God could come to us. Not only did Jesus take our sin on the cross, but also our deseases. The people when bit by a snake would die unless they looked at the bronze snake on the pole. If we would look at Jesus on the cross and see that he took our sicknesses and deseases we too could be free from the snake bite of desease. This is God's love shown to us. He loved me so much that he sent Jesus to die in my place, he became my substitute, he took my sin and gave me his rightousness, took my desease and gave me health, took my poverty and gave me prosperity, took my sorrows and gave me joy. This is why it is so easy to love him and to be grateful for His love for me. I didn't deserve this love but His grace (unmerited favor) was given to me. He didn't come to judge me, but to save me. I am born again because I have confessed Jesus as my Lord and I beleive that He is risen from the dead. All of the blessings of salvation are mine, Thank you Jesus for your awesome love for me!
