Gospel Reflections #249: We Don't Work to be Saved, We believe are Saved!

Isaiah 53:11 "He will see the fruit of his affliction And be satisfied with the knowledge of it. My servant took upon himself their sins, that many might be made righteous."

Jesus bore our sins. He bore our sins without demanding any conditions from us.

Rather, Jesus saw hope for us in his suffering and willingly offered his life for us.

He rejoiced not in our immediate suffering, but in our salvation that would be realized later.

We have realized the salvation of all men through Jesus of the cross.

We are already saved by Jesus. And whoever believes in it and receives that salvation, that salvation becomes a reality.

There are no conditions for salvation. We just have to believe. We want to receive with certainty the life that Jesus willingly offered for us.

And it is also our ticket to heaven where we can live with Jesus!

All we have to do is honestly reach out and receive.

There, hope and joy await us!
