Take time and read these words, they are the most important words you will read in your whole life.......Romans 3; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Psalm 10:3-4. 3 He boasts of the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD. 4 In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. Psalm 14:2-3. 2 The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. 3 All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. We cannot save ourselfs with deeds and actions! Matthew 5:48 Be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect. No one is perfect but we should always strive for it doing our best always and repenting whenever we sin. God is merciful and does not want to punish sin! 1 John 4:8-9. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. God is just and must punish sin. Exodus 34:7-8. 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation. 8 Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. Who is Jesus? He is the infinite-GOD-man. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. What did Jesus do? He suffered, died on the cross and rose from the dead to pay the penalty for our sins and to purchase a place in heaven for us, and to spare us the final judgement at rapture. Isaiah 53:6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Jesus the iniquity of us all. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 2:8-9. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. Revelation 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. Assurance John 6:47 Jesus said, I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. Are you really saved? This is a very important question that every person must answer. The issue of salvation is one that everyone must seriously consider because it is the only thing that can make one to be qualified for eternity in Heaven. “Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily I say unto thee, EXCEPT a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). This question becomes very necessary because many of the religious activities and programs that are springing up today seem to be underplaying the issue of the importance of genuine personal salvation. More religious involvements and activities are being emphasized over the importance of personal salvation. Most religious leaders are satisfied as long as their members and youths turn up regularly in church and observe other religious ordinances. There are other people who however confuse other things with salvation. They take the fact that they are born into a serious Christian family to mean that they too are saved. Some take their moral uprightness for salvation. They feel that since they do not fight, steal, tell lies, commit fornication etc, it means they are saved. There are some who have been mistakenly baptized in water, who partake in the Holy Communion, sing in the choir, etc, who think that for these, they are saved. Salvation is a very definite personal experience that takes place in one’s life at a particular point in time. It is an experience that one receives as a result of a very conscious and deliberate decision one takes to turn away from all sins and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as one’s Lord and personal Savior. The truth is “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). We all were conceived and born in sin. (Psalm 51:5). None of us has the ability to do any good. (Romans 10:10-18). In fact, because we have sinned by nature (we all inherited sin from Adam -Romans 5:12) and by our actions, we all stand condemned before God and are to face the consequence of our sins, which is death – eternal separation from God in the Lake of fire. (Romans 6:23, Ezekiel 18:4, 20, Revelation 21:8). No amount of our personal efforts or good works can save us. No religious activity or ordinance can pay the price for our sin and free us from the consequences of our sin. (Isaiah 65:6). Only Jesus can. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) “Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved”. Acts 4:12) Salvation is only by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9). You can become genuinely saved as you acknowledge your sins, (Psalm 51:3-4), confess them before God (Proverbs 28:13), truly turn away from them in repentance (Job 34:32), receive the Lord Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and Personal Savior (Revelation 3:20) and believe in Him with the whole of your heart. (John 1:12, Romans 10:9-10). If you will sincerely take these steps, you can be saved today. When you become saved, you will be totally set free from sin and condemnation, (Job 8:36, Romans 8:1); the peace and joy of the Lord will become yours. Sin will no longer be your master; the spirit of God will always be there to lead you, and you will become an entirely new person (Romans 5:1; 6:14; 8:14-16; II Corinthians 5:17). So, are you really saved? If not, Why not now? People are offended occasionally when asked if they are saved. And we think uh, oh, but nothing in the Bible makes sense without knowing the salvation message, and when people ask me if Im saved, I thank them that they care enough to ask....that none be left behind. I am here to support you with Bible truth and prayers My Friends......Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9) Jesus saves and religion doesnt, I sense urgency, I think we are close to the end lots of signs are here, and now..... If you are not saved or you are unsure get right with God and do it NOW!!! Today is the day to be born again DO NOT WAIT!
