Day 3: World is listening.

Day 3 : What if the whole world were listening, what would you say?

I would tell everyone that as dismal as this world may seem some days, there is hope. There is a gift that has been offered to each one of us and all we have to do is take it. We don't deserve it and there's nothing we can do to earn it but it has been freely given to us.

This gift is called 'grace'.

¹ Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. -Romans 5:1-2

The Bible talks about the world beginning with the creation of a beautiful garden and two blameless people who walked and talked with God. They were truly innocent – they didn’t even know that they were naked. But it didn’t stay that way. They chose to turn away from God and sin entered the world, and with it guilt, shame, regret. Humankind was no longer blameless. But God still loved the world that he created and so he sent his Son to redeem it.

Jesus came, and died, and rose again to wipe the slate clean. He was scourged, tormented, and finally nailed on the cross for humankind’s sins – this was all part of God’s plan to bring you and I back into relationship with him. God wants to be a part of your life. Is this the life for you?
