Millisecond

It can happen in a millisecond.

God can forgive you of all of your sins, past, present and future. No matter how many times you have broken God’s Law, the Ten Commandments, your case can be legally closed and you can be declared innocent.

Your life, same as mine, has been full of lying and stealing (broken the 9th and 8th commandments), of lust (7th commandment), of using God’s name without respect (3rd commandment), of desiring our neighbor’s car (10th commandment) and of hatred towards other people (6th commandment). Since the beginning until now, our heart has rebelled against God and we have totally transgressed his moral Law.

If you have lied or lusted only once a week and you are 30 years old, that means that you have broken God’s Law (sinned) 1’560 times!! Do you know someone that has broken your city’s law more than 1’500 times? Well YOU have violated God’s Law much more than that, do the math per week or per day or per hour… how many times do you lie and lust? Now add the stealing, blaspheming, coveting, hating, etc.

With all that against you and me, in a millisecond God, who is rich in mercy, can declare us innocent by crediting to our account Christ’s righteousness and perfection. Our sins (law-breaking) can be erased and never again remembered.

How come?

What happened on that cross was that Jesus sacrificed himself to pay the fine for the Law that you and I broke. He suffered and died to satisfy God’s justice but he also lived a perfect and sinless life so it can be counted as ours. Jesus rose from the death and demonstrated that his sacrifice was accepted by God.

Even if the crucifixion happened over 2000 years ago, in just a millisecond, God is willing to apply that sacrifice to you, so that your crimes (law-breaking) are paid for. God did it all, He provided the perfect sacrifice and nothing can be added from our side.

However, we need to REPENT that means to turn from sin and towards God. We know every time that we sin because we have a conscience that helps us and warns us. Gotta stop those lies, those illegal downloads (stealing), looking at porn and lusting after people (adultery) and turn to God. We also need to TRUST in Jesus since his sacrifice is the only means by which our fine can be paid and therefore our case closed. We cannot leave the courtroom without receiving our deserved punishment (eternity in Hell) or to accept that someone else (Jesus) can pay our fine.

The moment you do that, in a millisecond, your name will be written in the Book of Life. When you die and face the Judge of the universe, you will be innocent and free; you will be justified. You will have eternal life in Heaven!

Please sincerely REPENT and put all your TRUST in Jesus today and in just a millisecond, your eternal destination will be established.
