The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: (Colossians 1:13)

The irresistible offer of Jesus

The Good News is founded on what God has already done through the victory of Jesus on the cross. Those who accept Jesus' offer of salvation become one spirit with Him and are liberated from the bondage of sin. We are no longer defined by our past failures or successes, but rather by our identity as children of God. The devil will try to tempt us to doubt our identity, but we can find joy in walking in the spirit because we are one with Christ. Read more...

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : Thank you my LORD for such a wonderful offer in giving me your life if I am with you. I love you God.
What a beautiful comment, Enrique! It is true that Jesus' offer is irresistible to those who accept it. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, if we give him our life, he gives us his and provides us according to the glorious riches he has in Christ Jesus.

You're right Victor. Many times we do not value the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, if the world were aware of what He has already done, perhaps we would not be contemplating the chaos of a world that is lost because it cannot or does not want to see. It is important that we remember the love that God has for us and the sacrifice that Jesus made for us. The verse that says "For He delivered us from the dominion (of authority) of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son" (Colossians 1:13) shows us the great love and power that God has for us. Blessings!

Thank you for your reflection, Gustavo. You are right, many times the worries and the material things distract us from the most important thing: our salvation in Jesus.
