Ephesians 2:4 “ But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved.” Yesterday, I ran into a man at Walmart and somehow we ended up talking about Faith. I told him, how thankful I am for the forgiveness of my sins through the powerful gift of Jesus Christ. He said, “I don’t know about the bad thing that you think you did in your past that you need forgiveness for, but that should not condemn you. I smiled and said “Sure, I have bad things in my past but right here right now I still struggle with sin. It’s the human condition. We all struggle with sin every day; the greed, the lust, the envy… It’s a human condition but through Jesus Christ, we keep laying it down and pressing forward to the high calling of God. It is not by our acts we are saved. It is by his single act of dying on the cross for us that we are saved, When we believe Jesus paid the penalty of all our sin on the cross rose again from the dead its the beginning of our true health and wellness. My attempt at witnessing didn’t seem to produce much fruit. That’ll be up to the Holy Spirit. I’m thankful God gave me this random opportunity to give my testimony.
If you have a chance to share your testimony today, will you?
