“But has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.” (2 Timothy 1:10-11)

In Luke 7, we’re presented with the overwhelming devotion of a woman who had been living a life of sin but desired the forgiveness found in Jesus. Her devotion was not simply a spoken commitment or a passing acknowledgment. Her devotion led her to purchase expensive perfume so that she could pour it over the feet of Jesus. This was not a mild act of symbolism but a costly act of love and brokenness.

As Christians, we too are like this woman who has come to the feet of Jesus seeking forgiveness. His forgiveness is free to those who would ask, and yet His forgiveness should lead us to something more. When we realize the weight of our sinfulness alongside the love seen on the cross, it causes us to give all we have for our Savior. Like the woman in Luke 7, we desire to pour out our lives at the feet of Jesus not in order to purchase salvation, but because we love Him.

“Our commitment to the Lord is often a reflection of our understanding of the price He paid for each of us.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,  Thank You for saving me from my sins. Thank You for dying on the cross so that I could be freed from eternal separation from You. Give me the power to surrender all of my life to You. May the works of my hands and the words of my mouth be a sweet aroma to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Jesus Christ says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20)

The Bible promises eternal life to all who receive Christ: “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:11-13)

If you have not asked Jesus into your lifeYou can receive Jesus Christ right now by faith through prayer.

Prayer is just talking with God. He knows your heart, so don’t worry about getting your words just right. Here is a suggested prayer to guide you:

Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.

If you have done this, then congratulations!

(Luke 15:7) says that when one sinner accepts Jesus Christ as his or her Saviour the angels rejoice. So there’s a party going on in heaven right now over your decision! Remember this date as your “second birthday,” the day you were born into a new life in Christ! You have God’s Word that he answered your prayer.
