Pastor’s Message |
|
Have you ever really stopped and asked yourself this question: “What is the single most important need of my life?” I am sure we could think of a lot of needs such as: a home, car, clothing, food, money, etc. These things certainly are needs, but there is a need that supersedes all other needs of our life. That need is salvation (not Religion). Salvation means deliverance from · the penalty of sin which is death. (Romans, 6:23) (Spiritual death now) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. KJV · and, a second death in a lake of fire (Rev., 21:8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. KJV Nothing of this world : family, friends, doctors, lawyers, bankers, preachers, churches, money, home, cars, and/or children, absolutely nothing can help you in the hour of death, if you do not have salvation!
Therefore, Salvation is the single most important thing in life.
How Do I Obtain this Salvation? 1. Understand that God Loves You. · 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. KJV 2. Agree with God’s Word that everyone is a sinner. · Romans 3:10-As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: KJV · Romans 3:23-For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God: KJV 3. Because I am a sinner I am spiritually Dead and have no Life with God. · Romans 6:23-For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. KJV 4. There is nothing that I can do by my power or strength to change this. 5. No matter how bad my sins are, Jesus will forgive me. 6. If I am a good moral person, I still need Jesus. 7. Salvation is obtained by simply trusting Jesus by faith. · Ephesians 2:8-For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: · Ephesians 2:9-Not of works, lest any man should boast. KJV 8. Bow your head right now where you are. Ask God to forgive you of all your sins and ask Jesus to come into your Heart. · Romans 10:8-But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; · Romans 10:9-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 10:10-For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. · Romans 10:11-For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. · Romans 10:12-For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. · Romans 10:13-For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. KJV · Revelation 3:20-Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. KJV 9. If you prayed this prayer you need to contact a gospel preacher who will instruct you on your baptism and how to get started right in your new life that you have in Jesus. |
