Miracles

 

Am sure most people hear the word miracle they may think of such things as someone surviving a natural disaster, survival of an illness diagnosed as terminal, escaping a life-threatening situation, or etc... But for me the greatest miracle of all is salvation, in which myself and others that are saved has been washed from all of our sins, by that precious blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, which He had shed for us. And because of that miracle of salvation, we are now justified from all things, and have become sons and daughters of God. And that miracle came about by God's grace and by faith in His Son Jesus Christ.

 

Now if you have not received this Miracle of salvation. I would ask you to cry out to God and ask Him to give you faith enough to believe on His Son Jesus Christ. So that you may receive the greatest miracle of all, which is salvation.

 

Romans 3:22-26 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Jesus spoke this parable to the scribes and Pharisees, because they wouldn't admit to themselves that they were just as sick (sin sick) as the publicans and sinners were.

 

So because the scribes and Pharisees felt that they were so self-righteous and didn't won't to admit to themselves that they were no better then the publicans and sinners. They rejected Jesus Christ the great physician who could've healed them of their sin sickness.

 

But it's no different today. People going around pointing fingers and speaking down to others as if they are some how better then they are. But I will tell you apart from Jesus Christ there is no good in any of us. It is only through Jesus Christ that a person can have their sins forgiven, and can be made righteous in God's sight.

 

Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

1 Corinthians 1 29-31 That no flesh should glory in God's presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

 

Philippians 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith…

 

Romans 3:22 - Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference.
