Today’s Devotional…
Religion has taught us that all unbelievers must suffer severe punishment and, in the worst case, burn in a place called “hell” forever.
But the question we must carefully look at is this: What is more powerful, God’s belief or man’s unbelief?
In 1Corinthians 9:22-23, the apostle Paul revealed that he would be made all things to all men, so that he would by all means save the lost, all for the gospel’s sake.
So, yes; it is essential to do everything possible to bring men to believe the gospel. However, there is nothing their unbelief can do that can undo what Christ already did.
One question you must ponder as a true Christian is what Jesus actually had in mind when He willingly undertook the heart-wrenching journey to the cross. Surely, He was not just going blindly or hopelessly.
Jesus Christ had faith, and it was His faith that God honored to grant righteousness to all men, both believers and unbelievers.
Romans 3:22: speaks of the righteousness of God which is by FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST unto all and upon all them that believe, remarking that there is no difference.
To think that the faith (or belief) of Christ needs validation from the faith (or belief) of men; and that the unbelief of men can nullify His faith, is total dishonor and complete disregard for the incalculable price that this Jesus paid for the liberty of mankind.
No, if you are an unbeliever, it is your loss that you cannot benefit from the glorious heritage that was reserved for you in the finished works of Christ. But your unbelief cannot undo the sufferings of Christ, nor can it reverse His death.
And if His death cannot be reversed, then the purpose of His death which was backed by the faith of God, cannot be reversed. The purpose of the death of Christ was to take away the sin of the world and give righteousness to all mankind. Selah
May the eyes of your understanding be enlightened in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
