PLEASE READ
May 30, 2008
IM A CHRISTIAN LADY AND I LOVE GOD/JESUS CAUSE I KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR ME....
I HAVE SEEN THEM WORK IN MY LIFE AND IT IS SO AMAZING THAT AT TIMES I THINK IM DREAMING.....
I STILL REMEBER THE VERY DAY THAT GOD DELIVERED ME FROM BONDAGE BY SATAN AND I WAS LITERALLY REBORN..IT WAS THE MOST AWESOME FEELING IN THIS WORLD(THE DAY IT HAPPENED WAS A DAY IN MY LIFE WHEN I WAS JUST LIVING AN EVERY DAY WORDLY LIFE,I WASNT REJECTING GOD THEN BUT AT THE TIME I JUST WASNT AWAKE TO HIS AWESOME POWER, TILL HE SAVED ME..WOOOOOOOOHOOOOO HE IS GREAT..I MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN WHAT WAS GOING ON BACK THEN, BUT NOW I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND LET ME TELL YOU GOD IS TRULY AWESOME AND AMAZING..
YOU MAY THINK GOD DONT LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU MAY HAVE DONE SOME TERRIBLE THINGS,BUT, LET ME ASSURE YOU, GOD LOVES US ALL,NO MATTER WHAT WE DO OR DID. BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN WE CAN JUST KEEP DOING WHATEVER WE WANT..GOD WILL DELIVER US FROM OUR PAIN WHETHER MENTAL,EMOTIONAL,SPIRITUAL ETC.. IF WE JUST COME TO HIM AND CONFESS OUR SINS,REPENT,AND TURN AWAY FROM WRONG DOING(MEANING DONT INTENTIONALLY CONTINUE TO DO WRONG).... IT MAY NOT HAPPEN WHEN OR HOW YOU EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN BUT LET ME TELL YOU,GOD IS ALWAYS RIGHT ON TIME.....
WHEN I THINK OF ALL HE HAS DONE FOR ME I STILL WANT TO JUMP UP AND DOWN AND RUN THROUGH THE STREET YELLING ABOUT HOW AWESOME HE IS
IF YOU WANT TO ASK GOD INTO YOUR LIFE, HERE IS WHAT YOU DO..
1. REALIZE - YOU ARE A SINNER First, you must realize, no matter how good a life you try to live, you will still fall short of God's standards for being holy. Even if you try to justify yourself with thoughts like, "I live a good, moral life," the Bible tells us in Romans 3:10, "There is none righteous, no, not one.'" Further, the Bible says in Romans 3:23 "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..." Everyone has sinned in the eyes of God and everyone stands guilty before Him. What price are you willing to pay for your sin? Romans 6:23 says, "the wages of sin is death..." Therefore, since all have sinned, all are subject to the penalty of sin and an eternity in hell separated from God.
2. RECOGNIZE - JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR YOU God's remedy for our sinful situation was to allow His ONLY BELOVED Son, Jesus, to TAKE OUR PLACE UPON THE CROSS AND pay the penalty for our sins. The Bible says in Romans 5:8 that, "...God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This is the message of the Gospel -- that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die in our place when we least deserved it. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
3. REPENT - OF YOUR SINS Salvation is God's solution, but our decision. It is a step of faith. The Bible speaks about this faith in Hebrews 11:6, "BUT WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM: FOR HE THAT COMETH TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM." No one can choose eternal life for you. You must make the choice yourself, and your choice starts with repentance. The word "repent" means "to change your direction". The Bible tells us, "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord" (Acts 3:19). God commands us to repent. You must be willing to turn away from the things that displease God.
4. RECEIVE - JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR Becoming a Christian is not merely following a bunch of "do's" and "don'ts". It is having Christ Himself take residence in your heart and life as your Savior. Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door (of your life) and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in . .. ." (Revelation 3:20). It is essential that you come to Jesus as you are. Open the door of your heart and let Him come in. Don't try to "clean up your life" before you come to God. Instead, receive Him and allow Him to do the "cleansing."
ASK GOD TO HELP YOU RIGHT NOW. BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF, GOD KNOWS ALL ABOUT YOU AND HE LOVES YOU. And you know that your life needs something more than what you currently have -- you know that you need God in your heart and life! If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, I would invite you to pray this simple prayer, right where you are, and right from your heart:
Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe you died for my sins. Right now, I repent of all my sins and ask You to forgive me. I open the door of my heart, and I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I ask you to change me on the inside. Help me, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to live life in a way that would honor You. WRITE MY NAME IN THE BOOK OF LIFE, AND I ASK ALL THESE THINGS IN THE NAME OF JESUS ...AMEN If you just prayed that prayer, Jesus Christ has forgiven you and taken residence in your heart. The Bible tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). Also, the Bible tells us in 2 Cor 5:17 that "...if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." Imagine that, you have been given the chance to start all over with a new life...eternal life! Now, put your new found faith into practice. Get to know Jesus by spending time with Him; reading your Bible, praying, FINDING A BIBLE TEACHING church, and telling others about your decision TO FOLLOW CHRIST.
