READ THE
FOLLOWING MESSAGE CAREFULLY, IT CAN CHANGE YOUR
WHOLE LIFE.
THE BIBLE SAYS:
READ IT SLOWLY - IT IS IMPORTANT
" SIN ENTERED THE WORLD
THROUGH ONE MAN....THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS; NO;
NOT ONE...ALL THE WORLD IS GUILTY BEFORE
GOD...THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH."
( Romans 5:12, 3:10,19; 6:23 )
THEREFORE
WE CONCLUDE -
ON THE AUTHORITY OF GOD'S OWN WORD
ONE ACT OF SIN EXPOSED ALL OF US TO GOD'S
JUDGMENT-
WE STAND - CONDEMNED TO DEATH AND
HELL.
BUT
HOW CAN GOD FORGIVE ME?
THE BIBLE SAYS:
READ IT CAREFULLY...IT CHANGES THE
WHOLE PICTURE!
" THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL
LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD...IN THAT
WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS CHRIST DIED FOR
US...THAT GOD MIGHT BE JUST AND THE JUSTIFIER OF
HIM WHICH BELIEVETH IN JESUS."
( Romans 6:23, 5:8, 3:26 )
THEREFORE WE CONCLUDE -
ON THE AUTHORITY OF GOD'S OWN WORD
ONE MAN MIGHT DIE FOR ONE MAN.
BUT ONLY GOD'S SON COULD DIE FOR A
WHOLE WORLD OF MEN.
NOW WHAT MUST I DO?
THE BIBLE SAYS:
"THOU SHALT BE
SAVED"...GOD MAKES TWO DEMANDS HERE!
( 1 )
" IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH
THY MOUTH THAT
JESUS IS THE LORD (GOD'S SON)
( 2 )
AND SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART
THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD; THOU
SHALT BE SAVED!"
( Romans 10:9 )
THEREFORE WE CONCLUDE -
ON THE AUTHORITY OF GOD'S OWN WORD
" THE WHOLE THING, THEN, IS A
MATTER OF FAITH ON MAN'S PART AND GENEROSITY ON
GOD'S"
( Romans 4:5 )
HOW CAN I BE SURE?
THE BIBLE SAYS:
THIS IS A CONTRACT...READ IT UNTIL
YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS YOURS!
" VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO
YOU, HE THAT HEARETH MY WORD, AND BELIEVETH ON
HIM THAT SENT ME, HATH EVERLASTING LIFE, AND
SHALL NOT COME INTO CONDEMNATION; BUT IS PASSED
FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE."
( John 5:24 )
THEREFORE WE CONCLUDE -
ON THE AUTHORITY OF GOD'S OWN WORD
WE ARE "SAVED" FROM DEATH AND HELL.
"CHRIST SAID IT - I BELIEVE
IT - THAT SETTLES IT!"
WHAT A "BLESSED
ASSURANCE"!
CAN GOD LIE? CERTAINLY NOT!
MAKING IT PERSONAL
Someone has said,
Knowing Christ died - that's history. Believing
He died for me - that's Salvation.
A personal relationship with God
begins with an event Jesus referred to as a new
birth (Jn.3:3). Only when we are born spiritually
into God's family do we become His children, His
friends, His servants, and members of His
spiritual kingdom.
To begin this personal
relationship, take these steps:
Admit your need.
We come into this world physically
alive, but spiritually dead-missing out on the
quality of life for which God made us. The Bible
says,
" All have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God" (Rom.3:23),
"There is none righteous, no
not one" 8Rom.3:10),and
"The wages of Sin is
death" (Rom.6:23)
Realize what God has done for you.
God loved us enough to send His
own Son into this world to rescue us from the
devastating effects of our sin. (Jn.1:1-14).
Jesus died in our place, offering Himself as the
perfect sacrifice to pay the price of sin. With
one sacrifice, He paid for the least-and the
worst-of our sin.
Personally believe and receive
God's gift.
No one is saved by trying to be
good. We are saved by trusting in Christ. The
Bible says,
" For by grace you have been
saved through faith, and that not of yourselves;
it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone
should boast".
(Eph.2:8-9)
The actual words we say to God to
receive this gift may vary. What is important
is that we believe Him. If God has spoken to your
heart and you now desire to accept the free gift
of Salvation and Eternal Life and begin a
personal relationship with Christ, then simply
pray this prayer.
( There is no set prayer for us to
pray to be saved. Here is an example that you can
use if you so desire )
Dear Lord
Jesus,
I submit myself to you now as a sinner who is
lost and blinded by this world and my own sin.
I accept this and repent of my
sins. Lord, I know in my heart of hearts that you
are the Son of God and that you died on the cross
for my sins and for the sins of the world.
Dear Lord,
I don't wish to spend another moment separated
from you by my sin. I ask you to come into my
heart right now and be the Lord of my life.
I thank you for your sacrifice and
praise you for your ressurection.
I give thanks to you Lord for
hearing my prayer and saving me from an eternity
without you.
Thank you Lord Jesus;
AMEN.
If this is the honest expression
of you heart, you have entered into a personal
relationship with God!
The Bible says you´ve been born again on the
inside and that you`re a new creation in Jesus
Christ.
