| SINNER SAVED BY GRACE |
| I, EVEN I, AM THE ONE WHO WIPES OUT YOUR TRANGRESSIONS, FOR MY OWN SAKE. AND I WILL NOT REMEMBER YOUR SINS Isaiah 43:25-26 Jesus desires to have our hearts. He wants our undivided attention. He cared so much about our sinful state that He actually came to earth in the form of man, and He was God in the flesh, that He might teach us how to live. In this process, of reaching many people, He taught about Grace. Unmerited Favor. His life spoke of it with every action. He was compassionate to the brokenhearted, and the poor and the destitute. The suffering of the world The forgotten. People we would probably ignore if we saw them on the street, He was drawn to. He healed them, restored them, gave them hope when the world rejected Him. HE CAME TO HIS OWN, AND HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT. BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM, HE GAVE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD, EVEN TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIS NAME John 1:11-12 But some did receive Him. And they were amazed at the wisdom that He spoke, and when He looked at them, He looked into their very soul. Did you know my friend, wherever you are today, God can see into your soul. He knows the truth about you. There is no hiding it or denying it. He knows every unkind word you ever said, every harsh thought you ever had, and every sin you committed. But even so, He knows that we are but flesh, we are weak..and He is strong. He knew we would need a Saviour. That we were not strong enough to stick to the law. So he came to earth to bring the covenant of Grace. He willingly gave up His life. He died. He went to hell and conquered hell, the grave and death. In doing so, He did away with the old covenant, and offered us a covenant of Grace, He became a living sacrifice for our sins. He became the propitiation for our sins. He is the great forgiver of sins. He died for you..Just as you are. When He arose from this battle, He guaranteed eternal life, that death no longer had power, but that Jesus had conquered it. He now offers you a gift. It is called salvation. He seeks you to come to Him today. Admit that you are a sinner, that you have need of a God who forgives, that you want to make a change in your life. Ask Him to come into your heart, forgive you of sin and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. This is called repentance. Repentance also means that you turn from your ways. That you do not go back to them. But you are repentant. You give them up for Jesus. You follow His teachings. WHEN YOU CONFESS YOUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS AND CLEANSE YOU FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. 1 John 1:9 Basically, in laymans terms here is what you must do. |

|
|
| 1. Recognize you are in a sinful state. 2. Confess your sins, all of them, one by one as they come to mind 3. Ask Jesus to come in your heart and forgive you from your sins, and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness 4. Repent of our ways, which means to leave them behind. 5. Follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. |
| You must read God's word to know Him, and to know what He requires. You cannot know Him, if you don't seek Him, and follow His words. You are bought with a price, you life is not your own, it was bought with the death of Jesus. He was your blood sacrifice. Now His blood washes away your sins. Hallelujah !!!!!! WHAT A SAVIOR. My friends, everything in life comes to an end. There is no one we can count on all the time. Everyone will fail. We will eventually lose everyone. But Jesus never fails. He has made a way for you. A path, to join Him in salvation, that you may find forgiveness and eternal life. Does this mean we will never sin again? No.. we will sin. But..all we need to do is confess it, and truly repent. You cannot continue in the same pattern, then you would be crucifying Him all over again. JESUS IS CALLING THEM NOW. HE SAYS, CAST YOUR CARE UPON ME, FOR I CARE FOR YOU. 1 Peter 5:7 He is a compassionate God that loves us just the way we are. And will help us to change little by little. Guide us, keep us, comfort us, cleanse us, restore us, heal us, renew us.. and some day we will see Him in heaven. Seek Him while there is time. |
