Thoughts for Today

Faith in Christ is the foundation, the first step to a relationship with God.

Today's scripture is one of many that explain the gospel message. We all fall short of God's standard … we all have sinned … and so none of us can have a relationship with God. The good news is that God loved us enough to send his Son, Jesus, to make a way for us. Jesus died on the cross and paid the price for every sin committed by man—past, present and future. Our responsibility is to trust Jesus as our Lord and Savior. When we do this, we are made right with God and can enjoy a personal relationship with him.

Webster defines trust as "assured reliance on the character, ability, strength or truth of someone or something." When we trust in Jesus, we believe that he is God's Son and that his sacrifice pays the price for our sin—and we are willing to rely on his character, his ability to do what he has promised, his power and strength and the truth of his love.

Consider this ...

Have you trusted in Jesus? Have you received his love and his sacrifice for you? He loves you with a love we can't even begin to comprehend. And he is trustworthy. He will never leave you. He will never disappoint you. He will always love you. In this world of uncertainty, there is no hope. But in Jesus there is every hope.
