Pastor's Corner

for Sunday 30th
No Good News without Bad News.
“Since . . . we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God” (Romans 5:9). This will sound strange but we must be saved from God – saved from His wrath! Without Jesus we are under the wrath of God, or to put it another way, we are under the just condemnation of a holy God for our sin against Him, all who are under the wrath of God are condemned to an eternity in hell. That’s the bad news. But here’s the good news! If you will repent and believe in Jesus then your sins are forgiven. How are they forgiven? When you believe that Jesus took your place and was punished by God for your sins; all of God’s Holy wrath against your sin was poured out on Jesus! Now, if Jesus quenched the wrath of God then there is no wrath left for us. And if there’s no wrath then there’s only love for those who have placed their sin at the cross and received from Him a covering of righteousness. Your destiny has changed, “God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ who died for us” (1 Thessalonians 5:9). Place your sins on Jesus, receive His righteousness and change your bad news to good news!
