Repentance and Salvation

by Vivien Mak

By Jesus’ dying on the cross, He who was without sin took on all the sins of humankind then and of future generations, giving his life as the ultimate sacrifice. The most beautiful thing to me was that Jesus did all this out of love, enduring the pain and humiliation, and He bore it all for our sake. Jesus takes our crosses into His own hands, the cross symbolising our sins. It is through this grace of Jesus’ death by the cross and His resurrection from the dead that we have a chance at salvation in His name. There is nothing we can do to earn our salvation. He has already won it for us. The invitation today from Jesus is for us to embrace this redemptive work He offers us, to not only carry our own crosses in this life but also allow surrender of our crosses to Jesus’ hands, and to in the same way accept God’s offer of salvation by repenting and choosing to live our lives in Him.
