AWAITING!! Watching & Praying

The Just shall live by Faith

        WHY YOU NEED SALVATION!
 
 
 
Romans 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
 
1 John 1:8  If we say that we have no sin,  we deceive ourselves,  and the Truth is not in us.
 
John 3:36  He who believes on the Son has Everlasting Life:  and he who believes not the Son shall not see life;  but the wrath of God abides on him.
 
 
 
 
The only way one can come out from under the wrath of Almighty God,  is to confess that you are a sinner!  Ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of all your sins.  1 John 1:7 tells us,  the Blood of Jesus Christ,  cleanses us from all sin.  vs. 9 declares,  If we confess our sins,  He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,  and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  Oh Praise the Lord for His Faithfulness!
 
 
 
Next,  ask Him to be the Lord of your life.  Col. 1:18 says,  And He is the head of the Body,  the Church:  who is the Beginning,  the firstborn from the dead;  that in all things He might have the preeminence.  When the Holy Spirit reveals unto your spirit,  that Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life and that no man comes unto the Father but by Him,  then at that very moment,  your total existence should be about Him!  The Lord Jesus Christ should be first and foremost in your life.  Everything you do, say, and think should be based upon His leading,  His guidance, and His Perfect Holy Will!
 
 
 
For now you are a new person in Christ!!  Thank God,  for without Him you are nothing and can do nothing anyway.  All is vanity outside of His Domain and Reign in your life!!  2 Co. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ,  he is a new creature:  old things are passed away;  behold all things are become new.  Hallelujah for that!  If you have not asked forgiveness of your sins and have not truly experienced Salvation,  then you are in complete bondage to your sinful nature.  Satan is holding you captive to do his will!  Make no mistake about it,  you are either saved,  living for The Lord Jesus Christ,  or you are lost and living for your father the devil.  There is no middle ground.
 
 
 
Never take for granted or overlook the most famous Scripture in His Holy Word.  John 3:16  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.
 
 
 
You do not have to live under condemnation.  This very hour Jesus Christ can loose the chains that bind you, and give you a brand new life!  How exciting is that?  Allow the Holy Spirit to purge out the old nature and make you into one who,  with a loud voice,  Glorifies God!  Allow Him to make a Worshipper out of you.  Sing Him praises with gladness,  yes make a joyful noise unto the Lord your God, for His mercy endures from generation to generation.
 
 
 
Furthermore,  it is not  God's Will that any should perish!  2 Peter 3:9 declares,  The Lord is not slack concerning His Promise,  as some men count slackness;  but is longsuffering to us-ward,  not willing that any should perish,  but that all should come to Repentance.
 
 
 
God is still calling sinners to be saved,  and the Way is accepting what Jesus did for you at The Cross!!  Why not be like Zacchaeus of old, when he desired to see Jesus.  When he heard Jesus speak to him,  Luke 19:6 says,  And he made haste, and came down,  and received Him joyfully.  That is so awesome to me, to read about a lost man receiving our Lord Jesus joyfully!!
 
 
 
Jesus Christ has given me Eternal Life and I know if my heart stopped beating this very hour,  this 37 year old, God-fearing woman,  would immediately wake up in His Presence!  Do you have that assurance?  Do you have that peace of mind?  No insurance policy on the face of the earth can compare to how He has insured us!!  1 John 2:25 And this is the Promise that He has promised us,  even Eternal Life.  Oh Praise God!
 
 
 
Now the beauty and simplicity oh how to receive!!  Romans 10:9  That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,  you shall be saved.  Praise the Lord!  vs. 10 For with the heart man believes unto Righteousness,  and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation.  vs. 11  For the Scripture says,  Whosoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed.  vs. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.
 
 
 
Faith comes by hearing,  and hearing by the Word of God.  For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost!!   I pray with my whole heart you have heard the Words of The Gospel.  I pray you have asked forgiveness of your sins and shortcomings.  I pray that you know that you are forgiven by the shed blood of Jesus Christ.  May you arise this day and walk in the joy of The Lord.  Now find you a Church where you can worship God with your whole heart!  And the peace of God which passes all understanding,  keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
 
 
 
If you are now saved,  never forget this Scripture,  Romans 5:1  Therefore being Justified by Faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
 
 
 
Somebody,  somewhere in this world,  needs to stand up and give the Lord a shout of Praise!  Amen.
