20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” ~ Matthew 1:20-21
Jesus lived, died, and was raised to life again. By this, He purchased our salvation. And if that was all, that would be enough. But not only did Jesus purchase our salvation, but He purchased our peace and our healing. Through His name, we have been given authority to cast out demonic and evil spirits. In His name, relationships are restored. In His name are all of the blessings that are found in God.
All we need to do is to call upon the name of Jesus, our LORD and Savior, and our Salvation, and He will make everything right.
But please understand I’m not saying that life will magically become a cakewalk. Jesus, in fact, warns us that there will be many troubles, trials, and sorrows while on this earth, but He didn’t stop there. He didn’t leave us hopeless. Jesus goes on to encourage us by saying, “Take heart, for I have overcome the world (John 16:33).”
Jesus doesn’t promise us all sunshine and rainbows. He tells you like it is, “You will have many trials and many sorrows.” But in His name, we can have peace. In His name, we can overcome. This is why He came. To save mankind. To save the world. To bring peace. To bring hope. To bring salvation.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Don’t Miss Out On Salvation.
