The Bible says that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, Jesus. We had all sinned and were far from God, but Jesus bought us with His blood and now He has made us righteous in Him.
There was a time when no one could approach God. Sin creates a barrier of separation between man and God. But praise be to God for Jesus who came to earth and offered himself as a sacrifice of atonement for the our sins. Now we can go in prayer to God and call him “Abba, Father”. Jesus bridged the gap between us and Heavenly Father. He shed His precious blood for us on the cross so that we could have direct access to God. Now that the gap has been closed, we can go to God in prayer. This morning recognize the importance of the sacrifice that Jesus made for us so that we could draw closer to God with the confidence that He is our Father.
Together we pray to the Lord telling him: God in heaven, thank you for Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Thank you for your mercy and for the forgiveness of sins. I desire to live a life consecrated to You. Help me to do your will in everything. In the name of Jesus... Amen!
With love, Ivano Salerno
