REPENTANCE

Peace of the Lord be to you. For today's "Bread from Heaven", Thursday 7 March 2024, I will read a passage that is written in the Word of God in:
Luke 5:32 (NIV)

“I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

Jesus did not come for the righteous but for sinners. He came into the world to free us from the slavery of sin and give us salvation. There were many hypocritical and religious people living in Jesus' time who thought that Jesus should not care about sinners. Jesus replied to them that he had not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
The Bible reveals to us that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Unless we accept Jesus into our lives as our personal Savior and decide to live for Him, we cannot be freed from sin. Perhaps you may think that you have not committed serious sins such as murder, but sin is a sin regardless of our thoughts which would like to create scales of gravity. Men need Jesus more than anything. This is an open invitation to accept His unconditional love and the forgiveness He gives to those who believe in Christ Jesus.
No one will ever love a sinner like Jesus does. Sometimes even close friends or family members have difficulty accepting an evil person into their lives. Even if the world has condemned you, Jesus is ready to forgive you. Recognize Him as your personal Savior to be saved from the wrath of judgment.

Together we pray to the Lord telling him: God in heaven, thank you for Your great love. Thank you for the sacrifice of Jesus who died on the cross for me. I wish to consecrate my life to You, help me to do Your will in everything. In the name of Jesus... Amen!
With love, Ivano Salerno
