Curing A Fatal Disease
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin ArticlesA free medical resource site on the Internet lists the following five fatal diseases: Heart Attack, Cancer, Stroke, Lung Disease and Diabetes.
Spiritually speaking, all of us are infected with the fatal disease of sin (Romans 3:23 NKJV; Romans 6:23 NKJV). However, there is a cure. It resides in the cleansing power of Jesus Christ’s shed blood (Ephesians 1:7 NKJV; cf. Hebrews 9:12 NKJV; Acts 22:16 NKJV). Paul wrote to the brethren at Rome:
“Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him” (Romans 5:9 NKJV).
The righteous wrath of God against transgression has been fully satisfied through Jesus’ death in our place (2 Corinthians 5:21 NKJV; cf. Isaiah 53:6 NKJV; 1 Peter 2:21-24 NKJV).
All we need do is willingly repent (Acts 17:30 NKJV) and render obedience to the saving gospel of Christ (cf. Acts 2:38 NKJV; Acts 22:16 NKJV; Acts 8:26-39 NKJV) in order to receive the spiritual cure for sin.
Have we made that decision yet? If not, what are we waiting for? “Now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2 NKJV).
