SHED BLOOD OF JESUS?ARE YOU SURE YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED BY HIS
BLOOD?ARE YOU SURE YOU WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE AND IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT
YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN AND LIVE WITH GOD FOREVER? ARE YOU SURE? WHY
DON’T YOU TAKE THE TIME AND READ BELOW AND BE SURE OF YOUR FUTURE.GOD
WANTS YOU TO BE SURE.
The Bible says;
” I have written these things
to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know
that you have eternal life.” 1 John 5:13
Another question to consider is: Suppose you were standing before God right now and He asked you, ” Why should I let you into My heaven?” What do you think you would say?
You may not know what you would say. But… You can know, becauseGod loves you and has a purpose for your life. The Bible Says;”
For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so
that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal
life.” John 3:16
GOD”S PURPOSE IS THAT WE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.* We receive eternal life as a free gift.” For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6: 23*
We can live a full and meaningful life right now.” A thief comes only
to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life
and have it in abundance. John 10:10* We
will spend eternity with Jesus in Heaven.” If I go away and prepare a
place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where
I am you may be also.” John 14:3
ETERNAL LIFE GIVES MEANING TO LIFE. Yet… Our sinful nature keeps us from fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives.
OUR NEED IS TO UNDERSTAND OUR PROBLEM.* We are all sinners by nature and by choice.” For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23* We cannot save ourselves.” not from works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:9* We deserve death.” For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23It
is true that: God is holy and just and must punish sin, yet He loves us
and has provided forgiveness for our sin. Jesus said,” I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”The good news is that God has provided for the forgiveness of our sins.
GOD’S PROVISION IS JESUS CHRIST* Jesus is God and became man.” In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John
1:1″ The Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We observed
His glory, the glory as the One and Only Son from the Father, full of
grace and truth.” John 1:14 * Jesus died for us on the cross.” For
Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the
unrighteous, that He might bring you to God, after being put to death in
the fleshly realm but made alive in the spiritual realm.” 1 Peter 3:18 *
Jesus was resurrected from the dead. Romans 4:25″He was delivered up
for our trespasses and raised for our justification.”
That is good news, but the
only way Jesus can affect our lives is for us to receive Him. The Bible
says;” But to all who did receive Him, He gave them the right to be
children of God, to those who believe in His name,” John 1:12 The choice
is ours. Thus…
OUR RESPONSE IS TO RECEIVE JESUS. It is as simple as A-B-C
A.ADMIT- Admit to God that you are a sinner. Repent, turning away from your sin toward God. The Bible says in Acts
3:19;” Therefore repent and turn back, that your sins may be wiped out
so that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,” Repentence is not just feeling sorry for our sin. Acts 26:20″
Instead, I preached to those in Damascus first, and to those in
Jerusalem and in all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, that they
should repent and turn to God, and do works worthy of repentance.”
B. BELIEVE - Believe. By faith receive Jesus Christ as God’s Son and accept Jesus’ gift of forgiveness from sin.” For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift–” Ephesians 2:8.*
Faith is not just believing facts about Jesus.” You believe that God is
one; you do well. The demons also believe–and they shudder.” James
2:19* Faith is trusting in Jesus
C. CONFESS - Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.”
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9″ if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”
and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will
be saved. With the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and
with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.” Romans 10:9-10
THREE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:*
Does what you have been reading make sense to you?* Is there any reason
you would not be willing to receive God’s gift of eternal life?* Are
you willing to turn from your sin and place your faith in Jesus right
now? The Bible says in Romans 10:13;” For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
YOU NEED TO ASK THE LORD JESUS TO SAVE YOU.Read this prayer and see if it says what you want to say to God.
” God, I know that Jesus is
Your Son, and that He died on the cross and was raised from the dead. I
know I have sinned and need forgiveness. I am willing to turn from my
sins and turn toward You, and through faith in His death and
resurrection I ask to receive Jesus as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for
saving me. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.”
Call on the Lord in repentance
and faith, using these or similar words of your own, and if you
sincerly prayed this prayer from your heart, Jesus will become your
Savior and Lord. The Master of your life.
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD
As evidence of confessing Jesus as Lord, you will want to identify with
Him. The New Testament way of identification is to confess Jesus
publicly and to follow Him in baptism and church membership. The
Bible says in Matthew 10:32-33;” Therefore, everyone who will
acknowledge Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father
in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before
My Father in heaven.”" So those who accepted his message were baptized,” Acts 2:41″
Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so
we too may walk in a new way of life.” Romans 6:4
YOUR ASSURANCE YOU KNOW YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE Because…* God keeps His Promises. The Bible says in Ephesians
2: 8-9″ For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from
yourselves; it is God’s gift– not from works, so that no one can boast.” * God heard your prayer. The Bible says in Romans 10:13;” For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”* God recorded your commitment. Jesus
says in Luke 10:20;” However, don’t rejoice that the spirits submit to
you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
GOD BLESS YOU AS A CHILD OF GOD
Praise The Lord ††† Amen!
