Everyone Needs A Saviour

Even as we launch in to the Christmas season, its an opportunity for us to pause and rethink the original message of Christmas…. Luke 2:11 - “Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” Jesus is more than a miracle worker and provider, he is the saviour of the world. 1. Why do we need saving? The reason we need a Saviour has its roots in the nature of God and the nature of man: 1. The Bible says God has a plan and human beings are critical to that plan. 2. God is holy, and He cannot abide in sin. 3. Every human being has sinned, and every human has an intrinsic sin nature. The difficulty for us is that living with God requires sinless perfection, and none of us is perfect. So, God cannot carry out His plans for us without first fixing humankind. That is why we need a Saviour. Romans 6:23 - “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 2. From what are we being saved? From eternal damnation. A place of torment that was initially meant for Satan and the fallen angels. A place to be avoided at all costs. Mark 9:43 - “If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.” 3. The Response of the Saved Gratitude should be our heartfelt response. Luke 7:47 - "Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven--for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little." To the sinful woman, she owed Jesus her very life, he had saved her and given her a whole new life. So, How do we view Jesus today? He’s more than a baby wrapped in cloths… he’s the SAVIOUR of the world. He alone can restore our relationship with God and release us into God’s purpose for our lives.
