Today in church we covered the start of Paul’s ministry in Acts 13. Paul teaches the complete gospel message in chapter 13 and towards the end of the chapter in verse 45 we get the reaction of the religious leaders of the day.
Acts 13:45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul.
How many of us hear that same reaction from the world today? It saddens me to know that people have a serious disease 1 million times worse than cancer and that is sin.
What I find even more disturbing is how they view the cure. People ask me all the time why are you so “Religious” or why do you share Jesus so much? I usually simply state the following. If I found out you had cancer and I had the cure how sick would it be if I didn’t give you the cure?
What is the true cure to our disease. Jesus Christ, the sacrifice He made on the cross and more importantly His resurrection. The bible clearly states we are going to be held accountable for our actions. We all have sinned against God and will be judged according to our actions. However, if we put our complete trust in Christ He has paid our debt and we are free. I know its a mind blowing concept and that no other religion gives free grace but you must work for your salvation. Christianity is all about the grace and mercy of Christ. But you must put your faith into Him completely.
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
