Ground Zero For Humanity... Christ Crucified... Humanities Only Hope.

The Gospel is not the gospel of men, but the gospel of God. By it, the revealed truth of God's love is manifested and judgment on sin is sure and the certain defeat of death and the devil. There is nothing in time or eternity more certain than what Jesus Christ accomplished on the Cross. 

The cross is ground zero for humanity and eternity. God the Father made redemption through the blood of His only Begotten Son the foundation by which we stand reconciled unto HIM.  There is no hope for anyone apart from the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the pressing issue between God and humanity.

There is only one position in which we are right with God, and that is in Christ Jesus by virtue of is atoning work at the cross. He came to this world to destroy the work of Satan and the power of sin. Sin is a matter of reality that breads the lie that we are sufficient in ourselves. It is the very fact of sin that explains why Christ came to this world; and sin is the explicit cause of all sorrow and death.  Yet, it is in Jesus Christ only that death, sin and Satan are defeated. 

The heart of reality is the Cross of Jesus Christ. It is not the baptism of the Holy Spirit that changes people, but the power of the gospel of Christ. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not an experience separate from Christ; it is the evidence of Christ in you. We must be careful not to substitute the Cross of Christ for causes. Beware, lest your preferences persuades your doctrinal belief and shipwrecks your devotion to Christ and His Cross. Amen!

Sin, Repentance and Forgiveness - God's Love

We all commit sins. It's a part of being human. It is important to remember that even if we make a mistake and commit a sin that we know God still loves us. He will not leave us. We are His, we belong to Him in Christ Jesus forever.
It can be easy to get caught up in guilt for that sin. Sincerely repent and ask God's forgiveness and His help with whatever you are dealing with. God loves you and always will. 
He gave His life for us to redeem us to Himself. He did this to cover all our sins with His purity and love and we are forgiven for everything. We have salvation in the Lord. 
This does not mean however that because God has forgiven us that we should go out and willfully sin, for that is against the Lord and is like driving another nail into Him on the cross that He died on for us. 
What it does mean is when we fall, He is there with us, carrying us, never ever letting us go. Remember that. You are never alone. God is with you.

~ Hebrews 10:16-23 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God;Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)” (KJV) ~ To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. Acts 10:43 KJV ~ Psalm 86:5 “For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.” (KJV) ~ Psalm 55:2 “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” (KJV) ~ Ephesians 1:7 “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” (KJV)
