I was a forgotten child, proud and sinful before I know Lord Jesus.
I was a prodigal son that was redeem by my Lord Jesus Christ with a price so that i can be together with Lord Jesus at the right hand of God.
Human are by nature sinful in nature. Our sin started with Adam's sin of disobeying God by eating from the tree of Good and Evil and not from the tree of Life.
Before knowing Lord Jesus, I was proud, sinful and had the idea that going to heaven is based on merit or what we say karma. No matter how much Good or merit that i do, my sinful nature will get the better of me.
However, i learn that there is no place for sin in heaven and Lord Jesus proclaim that there is no righteous man that sin naught. If we want to enter the gate of heaven we must be sinless.
No matter how much i try, i cannot be sinless. This shows my sinful nature and i am weak.
Why i continue to sin? This is because i am weak to temptations from the lust of the flesh, lust of the eye and pride of life.
When the eye see temptations occurs, the heart feel and the hand touch, follow by the taste in the mouth. This culminating in sin and the price of sin is death.
The jewish will have a sacrifical lamb to atone their sin during passover. But, we have a better way to atone our sin that is the blood of Jesus.
Therefore, i need Lord Jesus as my Personal Lord and Saviour as i am weak towards temptations and sin. I have an inherent sin in me since the day of my forefather Adam.
If we are sinless and strong to overcome temptations than we will not need Lord Jesus as our Personal Lord and Saviour as he is the Lamb of God that clear the sin of the world. He is the only one that bring salvation and redeem our sin, sanctified us and make us clean and righteous in the eye of God.
Lord Jesus proclaim that he come not for the rich or strong but for the sinful, meek, oppress and the poor in spirit.
I need a sinless man that will redeem and replace my sinful nature and Lord Jesus is the only Son of man and Son of God that is sinless to redeem our sin with his blood at the cross and we are frail. Therefore, with his stripe, we are heal and make whole.
This is because sin cannot enter heaven or live together with God like darkness cannot exist together with light.
In John 3:16 God so loves the world that he let his only begotten son to die for our sin that whoever believe in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Lord Jesus, is the only person that overcome sin and death as he was ressurected on the third day and his finish work at the cross promised that those who received him as his Personal Lord and Saviour will have Salvation and eternal forgiveness of sin now and forever and there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus.
Moreover, Lord Jesus come to this world that we may have life more abundantly and Lord Jesus also declare that repentance and forgiveness of sin be preach in his name in Judah, Sumerian and the whole world.
We will also be rewarded with the fruit of the holy spirit and the gift of the spirit making Lord Jesus the better testimony in the eye of God.
Lord Jesus is the truth, the way and the life.
Like the song goes "Jesus loves me, yes i know for the bible tell me so." and the verse "man does not live on bread alone but every word of God."
Loving you God with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my might.
In conclusion, sometimes I still fall into sin when tempted, because my old sinful nature is still in my heart. Therefore, I still need to learn to daily push aside my old selfish and sinful ways / preferences, and obey the Lord instead.
Thank God that by His grace He has already redeemed me by His own blood on the cross and my Salvation is ensure."
