Who Are We Telling?

Psalms 8:3-4 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?

Stop and consider God's creation. In spite of all the ugliness that exists in this world, because of sin, and the wickedness of man, we must admit that there is great beauty in God's creation. We can never imagine how breathtaking the earth must have been when God first created it, or how beautiful the new heaven and new earth will be. Yet, in all that God created, it still amazes me that the one thing that has corrupted itself beyond repair (humanly speaking) is the one thing God gave all for, in order to redeem and save it. Yes, I am speaking of you and me. Who are we that the Lord is mindful of us? Who are we that God Himself would come, dwell with us, and die for us? Who are we that the Son of God would save us, and keep us, when what we deserve is eternal separation from Him? Who are we that we have been indwelt and sealed by the Holy Spirit? It is incredible that in spite of the fact that God entrusted man with His creation, as you can read in this Psalm, and man proved to be untrustworthy, He has now entrusted us with an even greater treasure...the Gospel. Who are we that God has trusted us with bringing the message of salvation, in Christ Jesus alone, to the world, when we have a proven track record of being so unfaithful? This, my brothers and sisters, is the wonderful love of God toward us. He gave us His only begotten Son, His Spirit, His Word, an irrevocable salvation in Him, and all that goes with it. He has given us far more, and been far better to us, than we deserve. My question for us today is, "What are we doing with all of this to demonstrate our gratitude and love for Jesus, for paying a debt that we could never pay for ourselves?" More importantly, who are we telling?

Today, God extends an invitation to you to accept His free gift of salvation (Rom 6:23). Will you accept it? Anyone who calls on Jesus, by faith, in repentance, confessing your sins, will receive eternal life. Do not put off calling on Him, and receive Him and His free gift of salvation today (Rom 10:13).
