The Story

Deep down in the heart of humanity, there is always fear. We fear that we will not be loved. We fear that if others really knew us, they might not accept us. And we fear that we will not have what is necessary for life. But God has clearly answered these fears. God loves those who do not deserve love. He did not love us with words only, but He has demonstrated His love by giving us Jesus Christ, His Son, to save us. In Christ, we are fully accepted and become children of God. God's mercy is a complete forgiveness. Righteous Jesus died on the cross in place of sinners. Therefore, those who are in Christ are no longer under God's judgment. It is not because our sins are overlooked, but because Jesus has borne our sins in reality. God's blessings are a matter of complete preparation. The Creator and Sustainer of all things always provides the necessary blessings to His children. Therefore, believers do not have to live in fear because in Jesus Christ, we receive love, are forgiven, and receive the necessary blessings for life. Dear heavenly Father, who loves, forgives, and provides everything, I praise you, because in Jesus Christ, you have accepted sinners as your children. Please forgive me when I forget your mercies and let fear take over my heart. Thank you, Jesus Christ, who bore our sins on the cross and rose from the dead to give us new life. Please let the Holy Spirit make my heart firm in the love of forgiveness and pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
