atonement: the reconciliation of God and humankind through Jesus christ
After I graduated from high school and went to college, I decided it was time for me to get my relationship with the Lord back on track. I met some great friends and joined the Gospel choir, which helped me stay focused. My relationship with the Lord was stronger than ever, well at least until I graduated from college.
After college I found myself in a worse situation than I was in high school when I was lying to my parents. I partied a lot, started smoking and even found myself in an unhealthy relationship. I was at the point in my life where I felt the furthest from God. At this point, I did not know how things were ever going to get better, but I’m thankful that God had a plan.
Unexpectedly, I was offered a job at an organization where my boss began to walk with me and share the Gospel. He reminded me how Jesus’ death on the cross was more than enough to cover my sins and encouraged me to rededicate my life back to Christ. Looking back, I can see how God pursued me even when I was not thinking about Him. I want you to know that if you find yourself feeling far from God because of your sin, know that the blood of Jesus Christ is more than enough to cover all your sins and He is waiting for you with open arms to return to Him.
