Romans 10: 9 – 10 The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is the word of faith we are proclaiming: that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

“God wants nothing to do with me. You don’t know how wicked I’ve been. I am beyond saving.” Is that your cry? I have good news for you. You are exactly the person God is looking for especially because he knows how wicked you have been. And no, you are not beyond saving.

What you are experiencing is the conviction of sin. That is a good thing.

God is righteous and holy. Sin is ugly and separates you from him. But God provided a remedy – the death of Jesus on the cross is the bridge back to God. Jesus is the righteous Son of God and he died in your place for all the wickedness (sins) you have committed in your rebellion against God. Unless you say to God that you recognize this rebellion in yourself and accept the love he has showed you by sacrificing his Son on Calvary, you will remain in the hopeless state you find yourself.

You have the golden opportunity right now for a fresh start if you will respond to God’s Holy Spirit who is pleading with you to accept salvation and come into a right relationship with God.   Open your mouth and speak to God. He will save you not on your merit but because Christ died for you. Calvary is what makes it possible for God to forgive and change you and call you his child.
