JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY!!
What a beautiful word brought out in study this morning.
Points from the lesson this week that everyone can use a reminder on:...
GOD loves us - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
GOD wants to forgive us - to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding (Ephesians 1: 6 -
GOD wants to have a relationship with us - Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them." (John 14:21)
Additional scriptures showing the need for all mankind to receive life and not the penalty of death - the second death that is, but rather to accept the sacrifice GOD provided for us in the death of his only begotten son by accepting the invitation to have a personal relationship with Jesus of Nazareth who is‘The Christ”:
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The LAKE OF FIRE IS THE SECOND DEATH. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:11 – 15)
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." (Revelation 21:8)
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)
Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.a They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.( John 10:7-10)
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in Goda ; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” (John 14:1-4) (Verse 2 in The Complete Jewish Bible says 2 In my Father's house are many places to live. If there weren't, I would have told you; because I am going there to prepare a place for you.)
The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels. (Revelation 3:5)
It’s about life and death – eternal life or the second death. If you don’t know him or are not sure if you truly have HIM in the place of LORD (Ruler/King/Master) of your life so that you can have eternal life then here is beautiful prayer written by an author of a bible study series a group I’m apart of has been studying. Please pray it today:
Dear Heavenly, Holy, Almighty Father,
I bow before you in awe of your beauty
I am unworthy to enter your presence
You are too magnificent to behold
But your mercy and grace permit me to come
Thank You for sending a Savior Man
Dear Jesus, Son of the Most High God
Son of the most lowly servant woman
You did this all for me
The perfect life, the sacrificial death
Nothing your Father required was left undone
I find no words to utter through these unclean lips
Nothing but tears of shame falling upon my lap
Here am I, at the foot of your cross, marveling
Now, before your majestic throne, praising
Please accept my deepest apologies
For the hurt I've caused and the sins I've done
Here is this lowly life, Lord Jesus
Please take it and renew it, let me be born again
Send your Spirit to introduce us, Jesus
And fill my heart with joy
Open my eyes to your Word
So I can learn your ways
My life is yours, O God
Save me, teach me, keep me,
And love me forever and ever
Thank You, Jesus. Amen
After you have prayed the prayer please don’t hesitate to seek out a church where you can be baptized for the remission of sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit which is our seal, a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance.
And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.' (Acts 22:16)
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)
Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come (2 Corinthians 1:21 - 22)
And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1:13 - 14)
The local Church of Christ in your area may be a place to seek baptism if you desire to have it done sooner rather than later and if your local congregation is unable to facilitate your baptism in the very near future.
Also it is very important that you get into a bible believing church that advocates holiness as the standard of living and where you can be instructed in the teaching of Jesus and the doctrine of the Apostles (Be a disciple of Jesus).
If you need help getting connected with a ministry that can assist you in your endeavors to do any of the above please do not hesitate to email: matthew28vs18.20@gmail.com. Be blessed.See More
