Don’t be left behind

 

Today is the day of salvation. Are you ready to meet the Lord if this was the day? There are some of you that feel that you are ready. The lord is looking for a Church without spot or wrinkles

Ephesians 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

(We are the Church) Ephesians 5:26-27 26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Are we saved because we are under grace? What does the bible say about grace?

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 17But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

Where there is no law there is no sin

Romans 4:15 Because the law works wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

How do we live as a Christian? There are 2 very most important commandments the Jesus told us to follow.

Matthew 22:37-39 7Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Do be left behind!

Hebrews 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

 

·       The word Christian means to follow Jesus Christ.

To be a Christian requires more than just intellectual agreement to the fact that Jesus exists. Being a Christ follower is More than just acknowledgement of His existence. To be a Believer and be a Follower of Christ is More than just an intellectual acceptance of a few facts.

Accepting Christ Jesus as personal Savior requires more than just saying it or repeating a sentence or even a prayer.
Just saying that you are a Christian doesn’t mean that you are a True Christian.
Just because you say you are saved doesn’t mean that you have received eternal life from God.

All of us are called by God to be His children, but few will respond to that call in the right way and some will choose not respond at all. On the Day of Judgment God will affirm or deny each of our claims to be Christ followers.

If you are a Christian your life will be changed.

You can't  say “I am a Christian” and then turn right around and act out selfish desires without a thought.

If you return to your life of sin and your confession of faith has no effect on your life, if there has been no change in your life, then you are only doing lip service alone to salvation.

Mistakes will be made. Sin is more than a mistake. Sin is deliberate. Mistakes will be made, relapses will be experienced, but the true acceptance of Christ involves seeking His wisdom and guidance, acknowledging sin and repenting. It involves yielding to Him for the answer to your problems.
