GOD CAN STILL SAVE YOU
Hebrews 7:25 (AMP), “Therefore He is able also to save to the uttermost (completely. perfectly, finally , and for all time and eternity) those who come to God through him, since He is always living to make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them.”
Wow! This is good news. God is able to save completely, perfectly and finally anyone who is guilty of any crime. Our anchor Scripture makes us understand that Jesus Christ is making petition and interceding on our behalf to God, so do not allow any string of guilt tie itself around you to a point where you think that God has given up on you.
Peter was the one who was first to acknowledge that Jesus Christ was Son of God before the disciples, yet he denied Jesus three times in the presence of a very little girl. How do you think Peter felt after that incident? Let me make another illustration. For instance, you went to Church, prayed in tongues and spent a great deal of time studying the word during the day and few hours later, you sinned against God. How did you feel? Terrible I suppose. When Jesus arose from the dead, an angel said to the women at the empty tomb, “Go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee.” (Mark 16:7). In spite of Peter’s denial, God had a personal message for him. This actually shows that God did not cast Peter away because of his sin. God wanted Peter to know that He still care personally about him.
Please dear friend, do not give up on yourself because JESUS WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU. Your past may be bad but God is able to transform your present and future into something greater than your past.
FURTHER STUDY: 1 Timothy 1:16, “Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ came in to the world to save sinners of whom I am chief.”
CONFESSION: I BOLDLY CONFESS I HAVE OBTAINED MERCY. I WILL NOT GVE UP ON MYSELF BECAUSE GOD WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON ME!
ACTION POINT: Let go of any form of inferiority complex.
