The Apostle Paul tells us how wonderful it is to be a Christian in Romans Chapter 5 verse 1 to 11:
We use that big word Justification again. Our justification is not simply a guarantee of heaven as wonderful and exciting as that is, it is also the source of tremendous blessing that we enjoy here and now.
Over 30 years ago I wrote a poem about being a Christian, and I believe it to be just as true now.
Oh what it is to be a Christian,
A Christian in love with God
A Christian made mighty by His covering,
Made radiant by His love.
There is no way to deserve it,
It's a feeling that grows in-deep
A feeling of tremendous excitement,
A feeling reserved for those who seek.
Of course the roads not easy, but it leads to eternal life,
Through a life of dedication and victories in Christ.
A life that not many follow.
The light they see not clear
Their eyes are blurred by worldly fascinations,
And they only have a clouded view.
But the light real Christians follow is the everlasting Presence of God
What are some of the blessing Paul mentions in these verses:
- We have access to God.
- In Christ we have a glorious hope. Peace with God.
- We have strength, when trail and temptations come
- Gods' love given through the Holy Spirit fills our hearts.
- We are saved from condemnation.
We now stand in a place of undeserved privileged, because we can come to Our Lord and Our Friend at any time for the help we need.
If God saved us when we were his enemies, surely He will keep on saving us now that we are His children. We can be assured that Justification lasts.
God Bless
