Luke; 5:12-13
(While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean." Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. "I am willing," He said. "Be clean!" And immediately the leprosy left him.)
Jesus is willing to heal you and I today. He has told us that all who come to Him, He will in no way cast out. Ours is a spiritual sickness. If we haven't come to Jesus for forgiveness of sins then we are in our sins and doomed to pay the price for sinning.
Romans;6:23
(For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.)
God is telling us that there is forgiveness, but that there is forgiveness only through Jesus Christ. If we refuse to come to Him for forgiveness, then we will die in our sins and we will pay the price ourselves.
There is hope though, because God loved us so much that He sent His Son to die for all of our sins.
John;3:16
(For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.)
We didn't deserve to have this gift from Him. We were sinners and He still loved us enough to come down and take our place and die. You may say "I have committed such horrible sins in my life, how can God love me so much that He is willing to forgive me?" That is something that we will have to ask Him when we get to heaven. All I know is that God has promised us that if we repent and ask for forgiveness, He will do it.
There is not one of us who is not a sinner, and there is not one of us who can save ourselves.
Romans; 3:22-24
(This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.)
God has given us life and this life is in Jesus. God has told us that if we don't have His Son, then we don't have eternal life.
1John; 5:11-12
(And this is the testimony; God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.)
Don't put off until another day what you know you need to do today. We are not guaranteed another breath. You can come to Jesus as long as you are still alive and receive forgiveness of sins. You never know, your next breath might be your last chance. Remember what Jesus said to the man with leprosy, "I AM WILLING." Jesus is willing to forgive you and save you today. Salvation is in no other name than Jesus.
God Bless YOU!
