Be Reconciled to God

Being more aware of your mortality, more deeply embrace your reconciliation with eternal God. On Ash Wednesday we are graphically reminded that we will all soon die. This convicting truth drives us to seek what only God can give, eternal life. God laid on Jesus our sin and death, so that in Jesus we would become right with God and have the assurance of eternal life. Embracing this great gift in Jesus, we can say with the Apostle Paul, “dying, and yet we live on.”

 

Next Step: Remember that you dust, and to dust you shall return, but remember more boldly still that you are forever reconciled to God and have become the righteousness of God. Surrender your life to Jesus.
