By John Stenen “Knowing that you were not redeemed (saved, born-again, made righteous), with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct (sinful lifestyle), received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” 1 Peter 1:18-19. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone would fall on their knees and open their hearts and ask Jesus to come in and wash them clean of all their sins with His precious blood? No matter how many good works you may do; no matter how many times you may be baptised in water - it will never cleanse you of your sin! Only the blood of Christ can wash away our sin. It is applied to us when we, by faith, repent and receive Jesus into our hearts. John 1:12; John 3:16. However, many will never do that for a number of reasons. John 3: tells us that many will never come to Christ because they love their sin; they like it in the dark and refuse to come to the light because their deeds are evil. Are you tired of carrying the sin, the guilt, and the shame? Then surrender to Christ today, and find out what true freedom is. Experience God’s love, joy and peace. On top of that, you can have the full assurance that your name is in the Lamb’s Book of Life. The alternative is ….. God bless.
