Jesus Will Not Reject You

JOHN 6:37 LB “But some will come to me–those the Father has given me– and I will never, never reject them.”

People may reject you. But Jesus will not. Jesus died for sinners. He loves them and will help them, if only they will come to Him. Jesus did not come to condemn us, but to help us. The truth is, when your self-worth is based on any opinion other than God’s, you will always be vulnerable to rejection. Think of the Bible account of the woman caught in adultery. JOHN 8:11 NIV “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life free from sin.”  Religious people will reject you for any number of reasons. The length of your hair, the food you eat, or the clothes you wear are only examples of reasons they may reject you. But Jesus is different. He will accept you just as you are. Overcoming rejection starts with understanding and accepting how much God loves and values us (1 John 3:1). Many people think they need to clean up their life and get their act together before coming to Jesus. But they have it backwards. They should come to Jesus now and let Him “clean them up.” If we could make ourselves perfect, we would not need a Savior. Think about that!
