Since I may never see you face to face, would you please read this friendly post ?
Your reading this post today is not altogether by chance. Although we are not able to become well acquainted, may I share with you something most wonderful ?
Some time ago I met a remarkable PERSON, so great and outstanding, that it has become a joy to introduce HIM to others. The great tragedy is that so many know about HIM, but so few know HIM personally. Perhaps you have already guessed that I am speaking of JESUS CHRIST.
To some HE is little more than a word of blasphemy, and to others a source of embarrassment, but to those who know HIM, HE is wonderful !
You may recall that the Apostle Paul persecuted the early Christians, but after he met JESUS, his life was transformed. He wrote:
"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of
all acceptation, that CHRIST JESUS came
into the world to save sinners, of whom
I am chief." 1st.Timothy 1:15
"For all have sinned, and come short of
the glory of GOD." Romans 3:23
It hurts our pride to admit that we are sinners, but it is wonderful when we experience the power of JESUS CHRIST to forgive our sins and to heal our hearts.
When once we accept HIM, as our personal SAVIOR, we make an amazing discovery. JESUS did not come to make us stuffy saints or miserable mortals, but HE came to give us LIFE -- the very fullest and richest. Listen to what JESUS said:
"I AM come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more
abundantly." John 10:10
Dear Reader, whatever may have been your disappointment with people, disillusionment with life, and confusion with religion, let me assure you that this is not the fault of JESUS CHRIST. HE has been misrepresented, betrayed, denied, and neglected, but HE stands majestically, in love pleading with everyone of Earth's billions.
"Come unto ME, all ye that labor and
are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest." Matthew 11:28
HE speaks to you today. Do you personally know HIM ? Repent (a turning to GOD from your sin), believe that JESUS died on the cross to pay for your sins, and make HIM the LORD of your life. Read the following Scriptures carefully. Then believe it and act upon it:
"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel
which I preached unto you, which also ye have
received, and wherein ye stand; 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 15:1-2a,3-4
"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. . .For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the LORD shall be saved."
Romans 10:9,13
If you want to know more about this wonderful SAVIOR, get a copy of the Gospel of John and read it. Talk to a committed born again/saved Christian; go to a church where the Good News of salvation is clearly explained. If you would be willing to turn to CHRIST in repentance and faith, pray this simple prayer of salvation:
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.
All things are planned by GOD -- also your spotting this post. Do not harden yourself against HIS call. Pray that the HOLY SPIRIT will open your mind and heart to let JESUS in. It will be going from death unto life. JESUS said,
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hearth
MY WORD, and believeth on HIM that sent me
hath everlasting life, and shall not come into
condemnation, but is passed from death
unto life." John 5:24
Dear Reader, do not put this most important decision off until another day. GOD tells us, "BEHOLD, NOW is the accepted time; BEHOLD, NOW is the day of salvation." 2nd.Corinthians 6:2b Tomorrow may be too late !
Your servant in CHRIST,
Julie
