08/29/24 ON THE CROSS AND IN OUR HEARTS
Resisting temptation and obeying God is impossible, until we trust Christ and surrender to Him.
The saving work of Christ on the cross and the saving work of Christ in our hearts and lives are both miraculous works of Divine power.
He died and rose from the dead, without condition, but He only delivers us from sin's penalty, power and pollution if we believe and follow Him, and He will hold us accountable for our choice.
Matthew 16:24-27
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
