"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." John 3:16 NKJV
Are You SAVED?
JOHN 3:17 “For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
Condemn: To Try; To Punish; To Judge; To Sentence to
Saved: To Be Safe; To Deliver; To Preserve
God sent his son into the world because he wanted the world to be saved from the bondage of sin and transgression against the law of God. For God would have to condemn and punish all who were judged guilty because of disobedience, lawlessness, rebellion, and sin. This judgment is the discrimination of the moral character of men, and does bring forth a consequence… A Hell where the fire is not quenched! There had to be a way to pardon and free man. God chose “Grace” through Christ; and brought it forth by His atonement sacrifice on Calvary’s tree. It was not the desire of the Heavenly Father, the God of Creation, for man to perish, but have everlasting life with Him. So God ordained mercy and forgiveness through the blood of Jesus Christ. Man could be justified! Man could be redeemed! This would reconcile God and man in Covenant forever. The world could be “Saved"
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.”
Are you a whosoever? Do you believe? Have you accepted Christ as your Saviour?
ROMANS 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
We must believe that all have sinned. That means you and I. Yes, we are guilty and condemned; and sentenced to hell. Unless, we accept Christ as our Saviour.
ROMANS 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Spiritual Death is our fate if we continue in the wages (pay, rations) of sin. But we can choose the gift (Free Endowment) of God … Eternal Life through Christ.
It is not through “religious” practices, or by “doing good works”, that we please God. We please Him by accepting His “Gift” to us: Eternal Life through Jesus Christ. The gracious purpose of God is to save the world through His Son!
JOHN 3:5-7 “ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”
ROMANS 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”
ROMANS 10:9-10 “That if thou 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 with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
We need a personal relationship with Christ. If you say this prayer with all your heart, and you believe… then you too, will receive Jesus as your personal Saviour.
Sinner’s Prayer:
“HEAVENLY FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I PRESENT MYSELF TO YOU. I PRAY AND ASK JESUS TO BE LORD OVER MY LIFE. I BELIEVE IN MY HEART, SO I SAY IT WITH MY MOUTH: JESUS HAS BEEN RAISED FROM THE DEAD.
