In John 14:6 Jesus says, "I
am the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE." Do you know
the "WAY"? Do you know the "TRUTH"? Do you know
the "LIFE"? Right now you can! Come with me on a road
to Life External!
Romans 3:23 says 'All have sinned and fallen short of the glory
of God.' All means...well ALL. That means you and me and we have
sinned. 'Sin' is an archery term that means to miss the mark. The
'mark' here is perfection of life. We have blown it because at one
time or another we have done something wround, told a lie, had a
bad thought, stole a piece of candy, cheated on a test...I can't
name them all but you get the idea.
Romans 6:23 says 'the wages of sin is death..' this is not death
of the body but the second death which is separation
from God forever. Because we have sinned we have earned this death
BUT there is Great News the verse goes on to say,
'...but, the gift of God is external life through Jesus Christ our
Lord.' See God loved us so much, that what we could not work hard
enough for, what we could not buy, what we could not earn, Jesus
did for us by shedding His own blood and giving His own life for
you and me! He was a perfect sacrifice!
So you asked How do I recieve the gift of God?
Easy!! Romans 10:9 says, "That 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." In simple words, just talk to
God and ask Him to forgive you and accept His free payment for your
sins. Something like, "Dear Jesus, I know I have done wrong
and can not get to Heaven on my own. I ask you to forgive me of
my sins and come into my life and be my Saviour and Lord. Thank
you for loving me and giving Yourself for me, Amen"
There is no power in the words of the prayer. The power is in Jesus'
blood shed for you. There is nothing, NOTHING THAT CAN DIMINISH
THAT SACRIFICE, NOTHING THAT CAN DILUTE THE POWER OF THE BLOOD OF
JESUS!
Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor
life, neither angels or demons, neither the present nor the future,
nor powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separte us from the love of God that is
in Christ Jesus our Lord."
If you prayed and asked Jesus to forgive you...HE DID! And the
Bible says in Luke 15:10 "In the same
way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels
of God over one sinner who repents." There is a party
in Heaven with you name written on it, the angels are rejoicing,
God the Father is smiling, and Jesus is waiting till one day when
you and He will stand face to face and He will be able to tell you,
"I love you"! in person!
If you did pray that prayer and asked Jesus to be your Savior find
a local Bible based church to help you in your new life, and encourage
you in your walk with the Lord.
If you read this and still aren't sure of all this 'religion' talk
let me ask you this...if I am wrong, what have I lost? Nothing,
I am having a great life, even through the hard times. But what
if I am right, what have your LOST! EVERYTHING! This life is but
a vapor, eternity is a long time to be wrong! |
