AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, "Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
Subject: Those who call shall be saved |
Bible Note: WELLGLORY: Your statement reminded me of these words from Isaiah: "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him: and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon" (Isaiah 55:6-7) An example of a person who called upon the Name of the Lord and was saved in Luke 23: The dying thief "said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into they kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto you, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:42) It is important that we respond to the call of the Spirit of God as he works within our lives and speaks to our souls to draw us to Christ. The dying thief was almost too late. Robert |
