The Christian

The Christian

“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.” 
                          C.S. Lewis
The uniqueness of Christianity is that it is God who is reaching down to us. Paul writing to the Romans said,
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” 
         Romans 5:8.
Jesus said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
John 3:16,17
Paul writing to the Ephesians states,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast.” 
                                                                   Ephesians 2:8,9.
All of what I have quoted above is about God reaching down to man. By the Christian way of thinking we can never be good enough to deserve to be with God. Yet God made it possible.
John saying,
“Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—   children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.”
                                   John 1:12,13.
The decision dear reader is yours. Will you accept the salvation God offered through Jesus Christ or not.
Think about it.
