Romans 8:12-17
God decided to save man and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into this world. Jesus died on the cross, shedding His blood, and He rose again from the dead according to God's will. God laid on Him the worst suffering of all mankind and set man free from all kinds of sin, curses, death and eternal hell. This greatest event in world history happened in Judea 2,000 years ago; but how could we hear and know about it? And how could we believe that it was a real event? God wants none to perish because of their sin. So He told us about Jesus, who would come, through the prophets and He fulfilled His promise through the life of Jesus. Afterwards He preached this great news through the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 53:5-6, Acts 1:8). Man can know this tremendous news for himself through the Bible and possess and experience it deeply in his heart by the help of the Holy Spirit. Jesus’ life is our faith, and in His life is His passion and death on the cross because of man. Moreover, God makes man a new spiritual being, and He calls us His children. How tremendous His love is! Man was a just mere creation, but he challenged God's authority. Nevertheless, God loved him even though he deserved to be punished. God let him be born again by the Holy Spirit, and let him know who God is and let him call God his Father. God is our Father, so we have the right to be taken care of by Him, and He takes care of us (John 14:16-19). Man also became heirs of God along with Jesus Christ, and will preach the will of God to the ends of the earth by the Holy Spirit and share in His glory (Romans 8:15-17). Therefore, blessed are those who are saved by the Father, the Son, and the working of the Holy Spirit. Those who serve God in this way are so blessed. So, we must thank God for His eternal blessings for our whole lives in this way, “My Savior! I glorify only Your Name. Receive our thanks and praise.” Dear brothers and sisters, don't be frustrated by anything. If you are in suffering, poverty, sin, curses and the bondage of life, meet your Savior, Jesus Christ, who has already solved all your problems. Seek first Jesus Christ and cry out before Him. He will show you His unlimited love and responsibility for you. No one could take away our curses, diseases and spiritual bondage from sin except Jesus Christ. He commands us to pray in His name, heal the sick and drive out demons. Our faith is in the relationship between the Father and His children, the Savior and the saved. It's very natural for believers to receive God's answer by prayer. We are the co-workers of God and we have God's greatest mission on this earth to win souls (John 14:12, Acts 1:8). We are saved by Jesus' blood and we have become the children of God. We should work to win souls by the Holy Spirit and reveal Jesus' image in our lives. Let's thank God that we can be His heirs, and possess His great mission for winning souls, and that we can look forward to the crown of life.
