Sinner’s Need of Christ
13
poured out to us all heaven in one gift. Jesus lived and died and is
now our powerful High Priest. Heavenly angels are working to save
us. A loving Father and the Holy Spirit are working together for our
salvation.
Let us spend time thinking about the great sacrifice the Saviour
made for us! Let us give thanks for all the work that Heaven is doing
to save the lost. God is doing all He can to bring us back to His
house.
To move us to do right, Christ offers great rewards. He promises
happiness in heaven, where forever and ever we will develop in
mind, soul, and body. We will enjoy the company of the angels and
share the love of God and His Son. Surely these rewards are enough
to make us want to give our hearts to our Creator and Redeemer.
On the other hand, God’s Word warns us against serving Satan.
It tells us that sin destroys character and brings eternal death. At the
end of the world God will destroy all sin.
[17]
Let us remember the mercy of God. What more could God do?
Let us place ourselves in the right relation to Him who loved us so
much. Let us accept God’s love and the way we can be changed to
be like Him. Then we shall be friends with the heavenly angels and
feel at home with the Father and the Son.
