Scripture: John 8: 21-30
Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. As he spake these words, many believed on him.
Scripture Commentary: Your sins separate you from God; accepting Jesus is the key to eternal life
You will die in your sins if you reject Christ. Jesus rescues you from your sins. Sadly, many people are taken up with the values of this world. They are blind to the priceless gift Christ offers.
Where are you looking? Don’t focus on this world’s values and miss what is the most valuable thing of all: eternal life with God.
Jesus is the truth that sets you free. He is the source of trust, the perfect standard of what is right. Jesus frees you from the consequences of sin and from Satan’s deception.
As you seek to serve God, Jesus’ perfect trust frees you to be all that God meant for you to be.
Accept Jesus!
