Jesus wants to save us, and He is mighty to save! But we get to make our own choices. We can choose whether or not we're going to follow Him and we can choose whether or not we will let Him save us. Just like a lifeguard would always jump in the pool to save you if you were drowning (even if you were doing something they told you not to do!), Jesus died to save you from your sins (no matter how badly you've messed up!). And just like it's a terrible idea to disobey the rules at the pool even if you are confident the lifeguard can rescue you, the fact that Jesus can save you from all your sins doesn't mean that it's OK (or a good idea at all!) to sin! Jesus Christ is our Lord, our, Rescuer, our Redeemer, and our Savior. Let's believe in Him for salvation and obey His commands!
