The Path to Eternity |
If you have never met the Lord and entered into a personal relationship with Him, This is your invitation to do it NOW. The new birth is a work of God. He through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, has paved the way to reconciliation. God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself (2 Cor.5:19)
and thatGod demonstrated His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Rom 5:8). Christ died in our place to satisfy God the father's requirements for sin, But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through the faith of Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom 3:21-23),and because of that sin, the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom 6:23).
The sin of unbelief has made us from birth, void of God-conscienceness, spiritually dead and has alienated us from the Father. By a change of heart and asking God to "breathe into you the "breath of LIFE", you will experience the new birth. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation (2 Cor 5:17-19). The simplicity of this process is, that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Rom 10:9-10 ). In John 1:12-13, we read, To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
Jesus came that we might have true life and that life is in Him. If you would but believe His word and accept Him as your personal Lord and Savior, His word promises you, you will be saved, redeemed, added to the family of God. We are not redeemed by religious means, religious rites, church membership or any number of good deeds, but by the precious BLOOD of Jesus Christ. In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness (Heb 9:22). For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ (1 Pet 1:18-19).
Through His atoning work on Calvary, and His BODILY resurrection you can become a born-again child of God. Don't put it off any longer. Trust the Lord today and be counted among His own. If His Spirit has touched you just ask Him right now to come into your life, call on Him Rom 10:13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
If you have accepted the Lord, please let me know so that we can rejoice with you. If I can be of any assistance to you, don't hesitate to contact me. |
