Subject: Invite Jesus into you LIFE, not HEART... |
Bible Note: Dear Friend, I speak to you with the authority of the living Son of God, Jesus Christ. He was sent into this world so that you and I may have eternal life. What is the opposite of eternal life? Eternal damnation. That is the choice that confronts each of us. Which way do we wish to go? Now, accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, is a decision that you should make based upon reliable information. I would that you would not make a decision as important as this otherwise. What are the facts? Is God real? Yes. Did He provide man with a plan for salvation? Yes. Why did He provide us with this plan for our salvation? In the garden of Eden, Adam, the first man, fell from His grace by choosing sin, (disobeying God's Word), over obedience to his Word. However, God loves you so much that He sent His only Son to die on the cross for you. You may not understand all of this now, but it is the truth. Since the garden, all men are born sinners and do not have a way back to God other than through acceptance of His Son as the Lord of their life. In other words, we "accept" His atonement that He made for us on the cross. He suffered horribly, so that you might be saved from eteranal separation from Him. Romans 3:23 tells us; "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God". Psalms 14, 2-3; "The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are ALL gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, NOT ONE." The Bible also tells us that "the wages of sin is death". We have a choice, my friend, but there really is no choice. If you would like to have: eternal life, living in fellowship with like-minded children of God, His promise of eternal existence with Him after you leave this world, living now with peace, love, joy, gentleness in your life, a way of understanding all the chaos in the world today, an anchor in your life that will hold you in the storms that lie ahead, a Friend that will never leave you or forsake you, then His name is Jesus Christ. Jesus declares, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free"; [John 8:32]. What is the truth? "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME"; [John 14:6]. My dear friend, all you have to do is get upon your knees and pray a simple prayer. And when you pray this, mean it from the bottom of your heart. Do this all by yourself. You don't have to be with anybody; (you will want to tell somebody later, why? Jesus desires us to "confess Him before men", Matt. 10:32). Just pray that you desire Him to come into your heart, and be the Lord and Saviour of your life. Pray that you renounce satan, and sin. Your are tired of being a lost sinner, and wish to know Him. Your are tired of the confusion and anguish in this world, and cannot face it another day without Him. He will come into your life, and the angels in heaven will rejoice! Jesus told us that "I will not leave you comfortless, I WILL COME TO YOU". He is knocking at the door... Ask Him, and He will come in...Your life will never be the same! God Bless..Write back, if I can be of some more help. If I have confused you, let me know. Together, we'll get if figured out!..believer57 |
