This question will be asked at least once in your lifetime. That question is who do you say Jesus is? The question to ask yourself is if you were to die tomorrow where would you spend eternity? Not sure...Think that all your good deeds or the way you lived gets you into heaven. Think again. Maybe you think if you live a certain way that you will come back until you get it right? Isn't that depressing? None of us is perfect, so how could we possibly think we could ever achieve what only Jesus achieved? For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 We all sin, ever lie, it's a sin, say the "F" word, still a sin. We were born into sin, (Adam & Eve) John 14:6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. Because God is so holy and we are not- all sin is sin. John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
Maybe you are mad at God or think he's mad at you? Watch this amazing sermon by Todd White. (Click his name to see the sermon) Believe in science. Science actually proves the bible story after story. Who do you think created science? As humans we believe in text books, text books are written and re-written & we believe what is in them. What is re-written is changed or corrected. The bible has never been changed or corrected. The bible is not only a book of instructions for every situation that will ever arise, but it's Gods words for us. The bible is inspired by God and yes flawed humans wrote accurate records of Gods dealings with mankind. Do you know any other kind of humans? I don't. Inspired by God means God breathed. God is supernatural. If you are not sure about it, ask God to reveal himself to you by speaking to you though the bible. Everything God does is because he loves us so very much. God cannot lie and his words are the truth. Education has not brought enlightenment to the world. Has education given you personal peace and kept you from experiencing personal pain and broken relationships? Has science solved the deepest problems of our souls? No it certainly has not. Yes we live longer or more comfortably but you will still face death. (Isaiah 53 Explained Mitch Glaser). You can even repeat mantras that make you feel better temporarily but ultimately you will not gain true peace unless you know Jesus the Messiah as your personal Lord & Savior.
Mark 8:29 Then he asked them, "But who do you say I am?" Peter replied, "You are the Messiah." You will be asked the same. So, how will you answer?
God is madly in love with you, he's not mad at you or trying to get you & he's always with us, you can ignore him, even reject him & he never leaves us. How do I know? John 3:16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. Deuteronomy 31:6 So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you." He is faithful! He is the best Father you could ever get. Maybe your earthly father didn't love you properly or you feel alone. Maybe you are afraid to trust. Maybe your heart is so broken you just gave up. God is a heart doctor and he can heal anything you have. He doesn't want religion or religious rituals, he wants you! He wants a relationship everyday all day for eternity. Maybe someone religious was living wrong and that changed your mind or a religious leader did the wrong thing. God is not people, people are imperfect, God is perfect and sinless. He would never hurt us in fact, everything he does is for us. Romans 8:31-32 31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Jesus died on a cross for our sins, for you and I. He did not wait for us to be perfect, all cleaned up before he loved us. He loves us sin & all, then died for us so we could be reconciled with God. That is amazing love! A free gift wrapped in Grace for you & I.
Romans 10:9-10
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
Salvation prayer (you must speak this outloud and mean it in your heart)
Lord today I give you my life, come into my heart and wash me clean. I repent of my sins. Send your holy spirit to live inside of me. Jesus, I declare that you are the messiah and the Lord of my life. I acknowledge that Jesus is the Messiah that he died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the Third day so I could be made right with God In Jesus name Amen
If you said that prayer you are saved. What that means is you are getting into heaven and that you now belong to Jesus Christ. I hope you choose life and the love of God! Your life will never be the same. If you reject him, you are rejecting a life with Christ and an eternity with him further accepting an eternity in hell. So at this moment you have two choices, accept him as Lord & savior or reject him.
God Bless,
