Are You Born Again?
Are you interested in accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior?
I hope so! If you have never accepted Christ... ...the good news is that you can make sure you will spend eternity with Jesus in Heaven. It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done. Jesus loves YOU personally very much. He even died so YOU can have eternal life, then He rose from the dead to prove it!
What do you treasure the most in your life?
Your job, family, house, car, bank account, or how about...your soul? Everyone's number one priority should be to see about our soul's salvation. Matthew 16:26 says "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Hebrews 9:27 says "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" and Romans 14:12 says "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God."
Excuses you may give for not accepting Jesus:
* I am a good person anyway, why do I need Jesus? Romans 3:12 - "There is none that doeth good, no not one." Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" Isaiah 64:6 - "We are all as an unclean thing, all our righteousness's are as filthy rags"
* I am too bad to be saved Matthew 9:13 - "I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" 1 Timothy 1:15 - "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" * There are too many hypocrites in the church Romans 14:12 - "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God"
* I can't live that kind of life Philippians 4:13 - "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me"
* I go to church, isn't that good enough? Ephesians 2:8,9 - "for by grace are ye saved through faith... it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast. Titus 3:5 - Not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to His mercy he saved us
* I need to get some things straightened out before I get saved. Proverbs 27:1 - "Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. 2 Corinthians 6:2 - "Now is the day of salvation" 1 John 1:9 - "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance. - 2 Peter 3:9 So how do you get eternal life with Jesus? It is not difficult. The Bible teaches that you must: 1) Recognize we are sinners and need forgiveness 2) Then, admit our sins to Jesus, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9) 3) John 1:12 says we must personally receive Him, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the power to become the sons of God." This means your life is going to change! "He who has the son of God (Jesus) has the life; He who does not have the Son of God does not have the life." 4) Romans 10:9-10 says "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raiseth 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."
If you are sincere and want to be ready to meet Jesus, pray this simple prayer from your heart: Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner. I need forgiveness. I am sorry for my sins and I don't want to sin against You anymore. I believe You are the Son of God and You died on the cross for MY sins. I also believe that you rose from the dead so that I, too, may have victory over the grave. Please forgive me now Lord and cleanse me. Thank You, Jesus, for shedding your blood for me and for hearing and answering my prayer. Amen Luke 15:10 says: "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."
