Hundreds of people combined their voices, creating a beautiful sound, and sang about the day they turned their lives over to Christ.
Sin, since it entered the world through that bite of the forbidden fruit, has wreaked havoc in society. It has brought about diseases, famines, droughts and wars and has ruined relationships and lives. Every horrible and terrible thing in our world can be traced back to sin, disobedience and rebellion against God.
However, thankfully, God made a way, through the death of His son, Jesus Christ, on the cross, to bring us back into a right relationship with Him. Sin and disobedience created a boundary, and God overcame it. But that forgiveness, like any gift, must be accepted before it’s of any use.
A video posted on YouTube features hundreds of people singing about turning their lives over to Christ. They sing about remembering the day they asked for forgiveness and asked Him into their heart.
As the video’s title indicates, 900 people sing about the day they were saved and the joy and relief they felt at that moment. The musicians, as they sing “Oh Happy Day,” mention how Jesus cleansed their hearts of sin.
“When Jesus washed
He washed my sins away
Oh, it’s a happy day”
The people in the video are making a joyful noise to the Lord, praising Him for how He has come into their hearts and completely changed their lives. He has rid them of their sin.
Christ’s blood, which was shed on the cross all those years ago, has changed and is still changing lives and transforming hearts today. Once He comes into the heart and washes away the sin, as the song says, it will be a happy day.
Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
