The Good News

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
-Romans 5:10 (KJV)


Have you ever thought about this verse? At one time, because of sin, we were enemies of God. Think about that: enemies of God. Enemies of the Creator of the world. But, there is good news!


The second part of verse 10 says, "we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son." Reconciled means to "restore friendly relations with." Because of the death of Jesus, we can have our friendly relations with God restored. Since sin made us enemies of God, Jesus makes us right with God, through His death on the cross.


The last part of verse 10 says, "much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life." Because we are now reconciled to God, we shall inherit eternal life because Jesus lives! Through the death of Jesus we can be reconciled to God, through the resurrection of Jesus, we will have everlasting life! That, my friends, is the Good News! 


Have you put your faith and trust in Jesus? Have you accepted Him as your Lord and Savior? If not, then what are you waiting for? If you have, then who can you share the Good News with? Think About It.
