We Need Life, Which Jesus Gives Us

Whatever we need, we need something deeper than more things, or all things.

Jesus offers Life:

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." (John 10: 10)

He is this Life:

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14: 6)

In fact, we are dead in our trespasses because of Adam:

"Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come." (Romans 5: 14)

and

"1And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:" (Ephesians 2: 1-2)

As men dead in oru trespasses, we cannot presume to give God anything, except a willingness to believe on Him and receive from Him all things:

"And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." (Acts 16: 31)

and also

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10: 9)

Let Jesus be your Life today!
