God in His Wisdom extended his arms of love to all of human race through Christ. it is an open invitation so everyone can come, regardless of their state whether broken, battered, busted or their profession, character, achievement, the trouble or the issue confronting the individual or in spite of their background, whether it’s colorful, coded and not so good background, all can come, for the blood of Jesus is strong enough, powerful for the cleansing of the soul and the transformation of the heart. For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believe in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. Yes, the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. So the price of love that was paid through the shedding of the blood of Jesus covers all the fault of man, for when we were yet without strength (sinners) in due time Christ died for the ungodly, so provided you are willing to return to Christ, you can have a new start today. Wisdom says “RETURN NOW” for tomorrow may be late. John 3:16, Rom 6:23, Rom 5:6
Friend, you have once known Christ and you were saved but went away from him, such that what you knew in the light or taught in church or through the word of God, was denied through the darkness of the night, you might still be standing and going with the multitude to the religious functions or to perform spiritual duties, you may still be singing in the Choir, ushering, working in the children department, you are still the Pastor’s PA, an elder or an intercessor, you possibly are still sitting among the saints on the pew or ministering on the Pulpit but only you know that you are far off while others thought you were still on the Lords side, for you who have been written off by men or you have condemned yourself because of how much you have broken the heart of God who loved you like Peter. Wisdom is calling you, to be reconciled to God today.
For you, it might seem as if no one understand the misfortune that you have gone through, or are going through such that it has affected your perception about life and God, assuming you do not deserve what you are currently experiencing, or possibly are thinking that what you worth or deserved has deluded you and you are angry with the world or with God or in God. The Love of the God is still extended to you today, and you can still return back to Christ instead of standing aloof. If you have become lukewarm or there is no longer love in your heart, for you seem to have lost the passion and zeal for God, or the hunger and thirst for God’s Word. Even if you have lost the prayer fire but you still have the form of Godliness, but you shake yourself like Samson but could not feel the fire or power again. Beloved you can still return to your God, provided you are sorry for the actions or attitudes that have taking you away from him, and ask for God’s forgiveness; God’s grace is big enough to bring you back into right standing with Him”, but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more. So that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord”. Rom 5:20b-21
Consider this:
- “I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! 16 But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! 17 You say, ‘I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing!’ And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. 18 So I advise you to buy gold from me–gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness and ointment for your eyes, so you will be able to see. 19 I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference. 20 “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. “[Rev 3:15-20 NLT]
