It’s Possible!
Today’s Through the Bible Reading: Mark 10:23-31; Matthew 19:23- 20:16; Luke 18:24-30; John 10:22-11:16
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Mark 10:27
With God, all things are possible.
It was impossible for us to live up to God’s standard. We all sinned and fell short of God’s glory (Isa 53:6; Ecc 7:20; Rm 3:10, 23). It was impossible for us to make up for our short comings and redeem ourselves (Jas 2:10). It was impossible for us to earn eternal life by our own efforts (Rm 6:23). So, what is impossible for man, is possible with God. Jesus accomplished the impossible for us on the cross.
God Himself redeemed us! We’ve been purchased with the blood of Jesus Christ (1 Pt 1:18, 19); forgiven of all our sins (Col 2:13); justified, the record that detailed our sin has been taken away and we’re declared innocent (Rom. 3:24); God has washed us, sanctified us (1 Cor 6:11); He has given us new life (1 Cor 5:17); He has given us eternal life through Jesus Christ (Titus 3:7); He fills us with His Spirit and dwells within us (1 Jn 4:13); He has given us joy for our sadness and filled our heavy hearts with praise (Isa 61:3); He has given us all we need to live life in Him (2 Pt1:3).
So REJOICE Christian! You’ve been shown the greatest love. God Himself made a way for you to have fellowship with Him! What was impossible without Him, is completely possible with Him. We have the greatest gift to focus on each and every day!
