Christ died for us.

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him" (Romans 5:8, 9 KJV). God has blessed us with such a beautiful relationship with Him. This relationship started when He made man in the garden of Eden. Though man broke his commitment to the Lord, that did not stop God from trying to reach out to us time and time again. He is a jealous God for you and I, and He is a God that is able to deliver us from all captivity. Over time man has wandered away from the path of Truth, our Lord. Man is giving himself over to idols, lusts, and rebellion. Man is not really sure who or what he wants in this life. Many people are chasing after the dollar bill and finding themselves filled to the brim with material things, yet they are empty and barren inside. Others just can't get enough of the attractions of the flesh. Pornography fills the Internet. Many websites are filled with sexual immorality, and they are binding the heart of humanity and blinding the eyes of God's creation. Many men, women, and children cannot say no to the image on the screen. They become spiritually bound. However, through it all God has never given up on us, no He has not. What Jesus did at Calvary proves God's great love for the sinner, slave, captive, blind, and immoral, including every human being. Our Lord is calling us back to Him. The message of today is to come back to our first love, Jesus. He wants to build a relationship with you, and in doing so you must partake in Him. Repent! God has never given up on us nor forgotten us. He loves us. God bless you. Amen
