Message in Brief

Pastor Ratna Maitra expounds on Hebrews 9:28, emphasizing that Jesus Christ offered Himself once for all to bear the sins of humanity. Because His pure sacrifice completely fulfilled the need for salvation, believers no longer require animal sacrifices. Jesus came to seek and save the lost, willingly laying down His life on the cross to defeat Satan and reconcile creation to God. Pastor Ratna reminds believers that salvation is a gift, bringing with it a sacred responsibility. Christians must step out of their comfort zones and share the Gospel with those living in darkness. As believers eagerly await Christ's second appearance, they are called to live holy lives and reflect His light to lead others into eternal salvation.
