Saved Through Jesus

Imagine purchasing what you thought was an authentic, valuable item, like a diamond, an art piece, or autographed sports memorabilia, only to find out that it was a replica of the original. Imagine the level of disappointment you’d feel. 

As humans, we often want the real deal. Even in our relationships, we long for authentic, genuine connection. In a world rife with inauthenticity and replicas, here’s the wonderful news: we can trust that Jesus is the real Lord and Messiah because He was attested to by God. 

In Acts 2:22, Peter is preaching to a large crowd of Israelites on the day of Pentecost when he begins to proclaim Jesus as the focus of God’s plan and the central message of the Gospel. Peter declared, “Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know.” 

You see, Jesus’ identity and authenticity as Lord were confirmed by God through the miracles, wonders, and signs that God performed through Jesus. We don’t have to question or doubt who Jesus is. We can rest assured that He has been accredited by God as the one true Lord and Savior of the world. 

Jesus, I praise You who are ATTESTED TO BY GOD with miracles and wonders and signs. Thank You, Savior, for saving my soul from hell and saving me for heaven and eternity with You.
