Off guilt

 "Off guilt"

Imagine yourself having somebody who payed off all your debt. That mainly includes your  high house credit and whatever we bought on credit and owe to the seller every month. Imagine a person sending you a note that everything  has been paid off and you don't owe anything to anybody, nothing you need to pay  back, nothing to worry about. How great that would be? That sounds like a fairy tale if it ever happened to somebody. A reach dad may be paying off his son's or daughter's debt but that is not all.
 There is some other debt no human can ever pay off. The real debt we all have is present in our spiritual life. It relates to our life with God before whom we all are guilty of sin ( smaller or bigger) for which  we are awaiting high payment which is death. And the Bible says no human can pay God any price to pay off our sinful and ignorant  life  except Son of God who paid for us with His own blood. How is that important? That means with  accepting Jesus as our savior we are free of guilt before God, but rejecting Jesus we are under God's wrath.
 Doesn't it sound foolish to not to accept that great  payment?  It is available to us while we are alive and if somebody thinks they don't need Jesus they are loosing their 'rescue plan'. There is nothing else  that can save us, no good deeds, no religious life, no other person, no communion, no rituals- it is only one Person  Jesus Christ that God sent us for that reason.  But some people still struggle with accepting Him, why?  Problems  in believing the gospel is true? Jesus said, you can believe Him  even for the sake of the works He was doing, because nobody has ever done any works like He did. They testify that He is the Son of God. You could worry  and say, oh, we all  will die no matter what, but let's look at Jesus. Was anything impossible for Him to do? Can't you trust the one who was able to raise Lazarus from the dead after 4 days being in the grave? The one who rose again after being crucified?

Is anything difficult for God to do?  Jesus said that eternal life is only in Him, that He is the one who can wipe off  any  of your sin, that He is the light of the world, He is the way, the truth and the life, the only way to God. The only mediator, the only bread of life  the only living water. Coming to Him your life gets  the new meaning and by understanding that He died for you, you know you have eternal life and forgiveness of sin. Your debt is paid off! What a great thing! Don't pick up a misery by rejecting Him!
 Try Him out, He said
"I am the bread of life . He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." John 6;35,      v. 47 " Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life."
