Every road has a beginning the narrow road,begins at the cross of our Lord
Jesus,why the cross?.The cross on which Jesus died was Gods answer, His only answer to our greatest need, the forgiveness of our sins.If you think there is some other means whereby your sin can be forgiven,or if you perceive that the good you do will make up for the wrong you have done,you are sadly mistaken.If you think been sincere will count when you will stand before a holy God ,you are diluted.God will not see your good works,or your sincerity,your religiosity,the fact that you have been a good parent,friend, or neighbour.He will not see your faithfulness to your wife, your employer,that you were a law abiding citizen, no.If you have not sought forgiveness of your sins ,at the foot of the cross of Christ, then God will only see one thing,and one thing only, your sin,and so judgement will fall upon you, He will declare,I never knew you,depart from me,ye that work iniquity[Matthew 7 v23] Are you burdened with the wrong you have committed? is your conscience bothering you?,well Gods way out is the cross upon which His son died.It is through His death that God forgives every sin we have committed,there is no other way.
A prayer.
Dear God cut through our blindness,indifference,our stubbornness,help us
to see the awfulness of our sin,and our desperate need of forgiveness,help us
to come to Christ who died that we may be forgiven,in His name we ask this
Amen.
