" ABSOLUTELY FREE "

 

In this day and time, it's not often that someone offers an absolutely free gift. Yet here is the most wonderful and precious free gift especially for you ! It has already been paid for by someone else. Please read on to find out more.

This gift is ETERNAL LIFE in a glorious   H E A V E N.

It is difficult for men to accept the thought of this being a free gift. Man wants to "do" something to be forgiven or to earn everlasting life.

The Holy Bible says: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of GOD: Not of works lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9) The Bible says: ". . .the gift of GOD is eternal life through JESUS CHRIST our LORD." (Romans 6:23b)

A gift is not something we earn or work for. We receive gifts out of love. In fact, "GRACE" means: "Unmerited, or unearned favor."  If we work for something, it is no longer a gift, but a wage.

There is only one spiritual wage a person can obtain . . .

The wages of sin is death. 

"For the wages of sin is death. . ." (Romans 6:23a) 

". . .and sin, when it is finished brings forth death." (James 1:15b) 

"In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not GOD, and that obey not the Gospel of our LORD JESUS CHRIST:" (2nd.Thessalonians 1:8)

We earn death in a Devil's Hell, but GOD gives us Heaven through JESUS CHRIST !

The LORD JESUS CHRIST paid for this gift with HIS own dear shed blood on the cross. "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel. . .by which also ye are saved, . . .For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:" (1st.Corinthians 15:1a,2a,3-4)  ". . .without the shedding of blood is no remission [of sin]." (Hebrews 9:22b)  ". . .the blood of JESUS CHRIST HIS SON cleanses us from all sin." (1st.John 1:7b) "But GOD commends HIS love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us." (Romans 5:8)

Receive this absolutely free gift TODAY ! Come to GOD in humble prayer, admit your guilt as a sinner before an all Holy GOD, repent (turn to GOD from your sin by faith), asking GOD to save you through the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Pray this simple prayer or one like with all your heart:

LORD, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me and to come into my heart and life and save me. Help me to live for YOU always. In JESUS' name I pray, AMEN.

"But as many as received HIM, to them gave HE power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on HIS name:" (John 1:12)  "Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward GOD, and faith toward our LORD JESUS CHRIST." (Acts 20:21)  "For whosoever (means YOU !) shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)  ". . .BEHOLD ! now is the accepted time; BEHOLD ! now is the day of Salvation." (2nd.Corinthians 6:2b)

Everlasting life begins when we receive CHRIST as our personal LORD and SAVIOR. The LORD JESUS said, "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish" (John 10:28)

                                                                           WITH HIM.

I hope you noticed the title to this post, "GOD's MESSAGE to YOU." Scripture is GOD's WORD - HIS message to us - and not our "theory." I pray that after reading these six thoughts from GOD's WORD that you believe the message GOD has given to us. HE gives free pardon of sin, and a "know-so" Salvation. You don't have to hope that GOD will save you, or hope that someday you will go to Heaven. The Bible says in 1st.John 5:13 "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the SON Of GOD; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the SON of GOD." 

     DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING WHEN YOU DIE ?

WHAT YOU MUST DO:

1. Admit your need (I am a sinner).

2. Be willing to turn to GOD from your sin (Repent).

3. Believe that JESUS CHRIST died for you on the cross and rose again.

4. Through prayer, invite JESUS to come into your heart and life to forgive you (Receive HIM as your personal LORD and SAVIOR).

Please pray this simple prayer or one like it:

LORD, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe that YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me, come into my heart and life and save me. Help me to live for you always. In JESUS' name I pray, AMEN.

Everlasting life begins when we receive CHRIST as our personal LORD and SAVIOR. The LORD JESUS said, "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish" John 10:28

" Who is the REAL BIBLICAL JESUS ? "

Many men have been given the name "Jesus." In Bible times, the naming of children was more serious than today. Today, parents name their child after a loved one or friend, or perhaps a name they think is pretty. In Bible times, children were given names which related to certain things, especially those in reference to GOD. The Apostle Paul warned in 2nd.Corinthians 11:4 about the possibility of another Jesus being preached. We desire to present unto you the JESUS of the Bible. No person except JESUS CHRIST could fulfill the meaning of the name "Jesus," because of WHO and WHAT HE IS.

                                                             HE Is the SON Of GOD.

". . . The HOLY GHOST shall come upon thee, and the power of the HIGHEST shall overshadow thee: therefore also that HOLY THING which shall be born of thee shall be called the SON Of GOD." (Luke 1:35) "For GOD so loved the world, that He gave HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever believes in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life. For GOD sent not HIS SON into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through HIM might be saved." (John 3:16-17) HE also is GOD the SON ! "In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD. . .And the WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us. . ." (John 1:1,14) "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD was manifest in the flesh. . ." (1st.Timothy 3:16)

                                                  HE Is the Sacrifice Demanded.

HE is the only one GOD would accept. The Old Testament sets forth the principle that the only means of acceptance with GOD is through sacrifice. ". . .we are sanctified through the offering of the body of JESUS CHRIST once for all. And every Priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this MAN, after HE had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of GOD:" (Hebrews 10:10-12) This implies that HIS work as Priest is accepted and HIS sacrifice is complete !

                                                            HE Is the SUBSTITUTE.

When our first parents willfully disobeyed the LORD, they lost their position and privilege of relationship with HIM. Thus, Adam brought the consequences of that disobedience upon himself and all his lineage; for Adam's lineage was begotten in his image, the image of the disobedient -- the offender. (Genesis 5:3)

Therefore, something or someone else must suffer the consequences of that disobedience in order for restoration to that standing prior to the act of disobedience. It could not be them (first parents) because they were guilty and the consequence of that guiltiness was death. (Genesis 2:17) The sufferer for the offence must be innocent of any offence before it (HE) could suffer in behalf of another. It is said of JESUS, "WHO did no sin, neither was guile found in HIS mouth. . .but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." (1st.Peter 2:22; Hebrews 4:15)

GOD in HIS mercy made Adam and Eve coats of skins, and clothed them, which implies the slaying of an animal. (Genesis 3:21) Not only was there the dying, but the shedding of blood as well. This was all a type of JESUS CHRIST, WHO would be killed and HIS blood shed for offenders (sinners). Many animals died throughout the Old Testament era in behalf of an offender of GOD's Law. The author of Hebrews tells us, "For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. . .Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by HIS OWN blood HE (JESUS) entered in once into the Holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us." (Hebrews 10:4; 9:12)

                                                               HE Is the SAVIOR.

The name JESUS means "salvation of GOD," or "GOD our SAVIOR." When the angel informed Joseph that the CHILD his espoused wife Mary was to give birth to was to be named "JESUS" (Matthew 1:20-21), more was involved than the mere naming of a child: "for HE (JESUS) shall save HIS people from their sins." Every person whom GOD saves, HE saved through this name. JESUS said, ". . . I AM the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man comes unto the FATHER, but by ME." (John 14:6) "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) "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel. . .by which also ye are saved, . . .For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:" (1st.Corinthians 15:1a, 2a, 3-4)

Dear Friend, just think of that which GOD has done in giving JESUS to die in your place, that you as the offender (sinner) might be forgiven your offenses. Will you realize your need of the LORD JESUS CHRIST ? Will you recognize yourself to be a sinner in need of a SAVIOR and under the consequence (condemnation) of sin ? the Apostle Paul said, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS , and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised HIM from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9) Will you repent (turn to JESUS from your sin) ? Will you receive HIM as your personal sacrifice, substitute, LORD and SAVIOR ? If so, please pray this simple prayer or one like it:

LORD, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me, come into my heart and save me. Help me to live for YOU always. In JESUS' name I pray, AMEN.

JESUS said, "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of MY hand." (John 10:28)

" The Declaration "

"In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD. The same was in the beginning with GOD. All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made. In HIM was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 

There was a man sent from GOD, whose name was John (the Baptist). The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the LIGHT, that all men through him might believe. He was not that LIGHT, but was sent to bear witness of the LIGHT. That was the true LIGHT, which lights every man that comes into the world. HE was in the world, and the world knew HIM not. HE came unto HIS own, and HIS own received HIM not. But as many as received HIM, to them gave HE power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on HIS name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of GOD. And the WORD became flesh (JESUS), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld HIS glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the FATHER,) full of grace and truth.

John bare witness of HIM, and cried, saying, This was HE of whom I spoke, HE that comes after me is preferred before me: for HE was before me. And of HIS fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by JESUS CHRIST. No man has seen GOD at any time; the only begotten SON, which is in the bosom of the FATHER, HE has declared HIM."  John 1:1-18

" Incomparable Peace "

Philippians 4:6-7  "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto GOD. And the peace of GOD, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through CHRIST JESUS."

     The LORD promises incomparable peace - peace that passes understanding ! Is that not amazing ? But what does it mean, and how do we have it, especially when the bottom seems to have dropped out from our world and we find ourselves reeling from the news that bombards us each day and from the dangers that escalate almost moment by moment ? In writing to the believers in Philippi, the Apostle Paul provided a list of three components that comprise a formula for experiencing the "peace of GOD." they are, according to verse six: "Do not worry, pray about everything, and be thankful for anything." These are such simple rules, and yet we so often short-circuit the process, causing us to live in fear rather than in GOD's available peace.

     Let us look at the three elements for a moment. First: Do Not Worry - worry is accepting responsibility that GOD never intended us to have. Conscious, deliberate refusal to trouble ourselves over what is not our responsibility must be our reply to the various troubles of life. YOU cannot fix them, but GOD can. Second: Pray about everything - yes, everything. Nothing is too small, too insignificant, too petty to take to our heavenly FATHER nor nothing too large to cast upon HIM (1st.Peter 5:7). Third, Be thankful for anything. If something comes from the hand of GOD or is tempered by the heart of GOD, then it is for your good - thank HIM that HE has a purpose in it; thank HIM for keeping you in the midst of the trouble; thank HIM that HE will see you through. Let the LORD's spiritual military guard "keep your hearts and minds through CHRIST JESUS" (v.7) and experience HIS peace that goes beyond human comprehension. JED

Your servant in CHRIST,

Julie
