" GOD's Message to You ! "

 

After being a Preacher for over 30 years, I've heard and preached many messages. But, you will never hear a greater message than the one contained in this post - GOD's Message to you.

THE BIBLE DECLARES . . .

1.  ALL HAVE SINNED

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD;" Romans 3:23

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it ?" Jeremiah 17:9

"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on HIM the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6

THE BIBLE DECLARES . . .

2.  SIN's PENALTY

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of GOD is eternal life through JESUS CHRIST our LORD." Romans 6:23

"And Death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death." Revelation 20:14

THE BIBLE DECLARES . . .

3.  SIN's PENALTY WAS PAID

"But GOD commendeth HIS love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us." Romans 5:8

"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

"For CHRIST also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that HE might bring us to GOD, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened (made alive) by the SPIRIT:" 1st.Peter 3:18

THE BIBLE DECLARES . . .

4.  WE MUST REPENT (turn to GOD from sin)

"For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." 2nd.Corinthians 7:10

"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and HE will have mercy upon him; and to our GOD, for HE will abundantly pardon." Isaiah 55:7

If we are truly sorry for our sins and willing

to turn to GOD from them, we can be saved.

THE BIBLE DECLARES . . . 

5.  WE MUST RECEIVE CHRIST

"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

We need to exercise our faith by receiving JESUS as our LORD and SAVIOR. Repentance and faith are both necessary for salvation.

THE BIBLE DECLARES . . .

6.  YOU CAN BE SAVED TODAY, IF YOU WANT TO BE 

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS, and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD has raised HIM from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . . . For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved."  Romans 10:9-10,13

GOD LOVES YOU AND WANTS

YOU TO EXPERIENCE PEACE

WITH HIM.

I hope you noticed the caption at the top of the post "GOD's Message to You." Scripture is GOD's WORD -- HIS message is 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 you. 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 ?

You may ask,  "How can I receive GOD's forgiveness and HIS promise of eternal life ?"

Acknowledge that you are a sinner, "for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD"  (Romans 3:23)

Believe that the LORD JESUS died for you, for "CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures"  (1st.Corinthians 15:3)

Call upon the LORD to save you, "for whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved"  (Romans 10:13)

If you would be willing to turn to CHRIST in repentance and faith, pray this simple prayer or one like it for 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

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

Your servant in CHRIST,
