Changing Times

Today we are living through challenging and ever-changing times.  Whether this be changes in our personal circumstances with employment or home life, moving in or out of lockdowns or simply trying to handle the daily change in advice and guidelines.

Although our world is ever changing the God of the Bible does not change. Malachi confirms this, “I am the Lord, I change not” (Malachi 3 v 6).  The God of Noah, Abraham and Solomon is the same today as he was in their day.

As our environment continues to change, we can have peace with the God that never changes by trusting in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul wrote in the book of Romans “we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5 v 1)

People and environments change but “Jesus Christ (is) the same yesterday, and today, and for ever” (Hebrews 13 v 8)

In the gospel of John, the Bible reminds us that “For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten Son, that whosever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3 v   16)

The Lord Jesus came from heaven and was born of a virgin in a place called Bethlehem and lived a perfect life and died on a cross to save YOU from your sin. “God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5 v 8) but on the third day he arose from the dead and after being seen by many returned back to heaven.

The true Good News message of the Bible is the same today as it was preached by the early Christians and today you can be assured of your sins being forgiven, a guaranteed home in heaven by repenting of your sin and trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ. The price of your sin was paid in full through the shedding of His precious blood on the cross of Calvary so many years ago – “the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1 v 7)

We live in a difficult and ever-changing world, and it is easy to become afraid or despondent with life but TODAY you can have peace with the never changing God.  Will you trust him today for salvation?
