No Alternative
Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity?
Micah 7:18
RECOMMENDED READING
Micah 7:15-20
A publication from TransWorld Radio told the story of a Cuban drug trafficker named Miguel. On one occasion when he was called on to examine a plot some distance away, Miguel forgot to take along anything to read. The old lady of the plantation gave him a New Testament, and He began reading about the Lord Jesus.
Some time later, Miguel suffered an accident and lost a lot of blood. Being in pain that evening, he turned on the radio to distract his thoughts. There he heard a preacher talking about our guilt and God's forgiveness. Miguel later said, "I felt I had no alternative but to accept Jesus into my life. I felt the peace of heaven, and I was happy for the first time."
Following his recovery, Miguel cut down his plants, burned his laboratory, and got rid of everything related to drug trafficking. He shared Christ with his workers, and every single one of them received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. "From our little band of cocaine farmers," Miguel wrote, "have come twelve pastors."
It's terrible to live a guilty life. Christ can wash away our sins, free us from regret, and give new meaning to life. Don't wallow in your guilt any longer. You can feel the peace of heaven and be happy in Him.
There's no other alternative.
Turning Point
Gone, gone, gone, gone--yes, my sins are gone!
