Do You?

I had someone ask me Saturday night for help with some "brief things" to share with someone who was dying and did not know Christ.
My first thing to do was to open Biblegateway.com, my go-to online bible....and the "verse of the day".....

📖 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:23-24

ISNT God AMAZING!!
This is first verse used when following The Roman's Road to Salvation (a scripture map to lead someone to a decision for Christ.  I have a short video clip at the end)

As I started putting it all down I realized that it is something that we all need to hear and reflect on once in a while, and maybe someone out there reading this needs to hear it for the first time!
And what a perfect time to think on our salvation through Jesus Christ....during the Easter Season.


📖 Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9


Every one sins, none of us that walk this earth is perfect….except Christ and He became the sacrifice for my sin...your sin...everyone's sin.

If you believe God, the all knowing creator of the universe, sent His only Son as a baby, to live on earth to spread His Father’s love and be a perfect example, came to die a cruel and ugly death on a cross, for your sins.  If you believe that He didn’t stay dead but was resurrected, came alive again 3 days later….walked, ate and talked with His followers…and then was taken up into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father in heaven. If you believe He gave the Holy Spirit to those who believe as an advocate, to teach and remind us.

📖 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.  John 14:26 

If you believe what He did for you saves you from the punishment for sin that would otherwise separate you from God for all eternity.....

^📖  If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.  As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,  for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."  Romans 10:9-13


A Prayer

Lord, I know that I am a sinner, and with that sin I can not even approach God’s throne.

But because His Son Jesus Christ chose to die on a cross and take my sin as His own, His blood covers my sin and shame so that I am clean before Him.

I know that I need You in my life, in my heart, to save me from an eternity in hell, separated from God.

I love you Lord, want to live a life that is pleasing and honoring to you.  Save me Lord!

for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”    AMEN

^📖 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,  made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,  in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.  For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast.  For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.  Ephesians 2:4-10

There is no specific prayer, no particular place, no person you need to be with...

the thief on the cross proved that...(more about that next week!)

There is nothing WE can do to get into heaven, except BELIEVE!

Newsboys have a song which says it so perfectly!

We Believe

Newsboys

In this time of desperation
When all we know is doubt and fear
There is only one foundation
We believe, we believe
In this broken generation
When all is dark, You help us see
There is only one salvation
We believe, we believe

We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life
We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that He conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And He's comin' back again, we believe

So, let our faith be more than anthems
Greater than the songs we sing
And in our weakness and temptations
We believe, we believe

We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life
We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that He conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And He's comin' back again

Let the lost be found and the dead be raised
In the here and now, let love invade
Let the church live love our God will see
We believe, we believe
And the gates of hell will not p
the power of God, has torn the vail
Now we know Your love will never fail
We believe, we believe

We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life
We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that He conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And He's comin' back
He's comin' back again
He's comin' back again
We believe
We believe
