What must we do to get saved?

 

St. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

We are born into this world as sinners from birth.

Psalms 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Sin entered into the world from Adam. This began a business for Satan to begin a destructive path to human life, and a separation from God's truth.

Genesis 3:4-5 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 

We have died a spiritual death, which requires salvation and, deliverance from sin, and death.

Romans 10:9-10 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. 10.For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Salvation is giving to a sinner when they are sincere, and have excepted that they are a sinner, and understand that they have falling short of the glory of God, and are ready to be converted to a child of God in the hands of Jesus Christ.

St John 3:5-7 5 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. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 

I Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

St John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

 

"It's time to get right with the Lord Jesus Christ"

 

                                                  “My Challenge to you”


 

If you are not a Christian, I invite you to receive the hope and peace in your heart that only Jesus gives.

  To become a Christian, you must deal with Christ Jesus directly. In A quiet moment, bow your head and talk to him. In your own words say something like this:

 “Dear Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I believe that you died and rose from the dead to save me from my sins. I want to be with you in heaven forever. God, forgive me of all my sins that I have committed against you. Wash me in your precious blood. I here and now open my heart to you and ask you to come into my heart and life and be my personnel Savior. Amen.”

 If you say that to Christ and mean it, He will come in instantly. At once you will sense you have been transferred from the devil’s dominion to the kingdom of God. Read Romans 10:9-10 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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Fruits of the spirit: Works of the flesh


Galatians 6:7-8

If we sow for the right reason for the glory of God, we will reap the blessing's of God.

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Earthy strength is weak, and cannot fight the spiritual forces in this world to get closer to the Lord. If we face weakness with the Lord Jesus Christ the power of the Lord is greater and you will turn away from the lust of the flesh.

II Corinthians 12: 10-11  And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong

I John 2:15  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.   

How will we know the glory of the Lord that lives in us? If we sow the word of God in our hearts, we will show the glory of God on the outside, because power is greater than our flesh.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.   

The carnal flesh doesn't fully comprehend the nature of God's will until, we prepare the heart in holiness to destroy the weakness of the flesh to live holy in God's eyes inside and out.

Job 37:5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

If we keep the Lord sayings we, will fear his judgments and remain in the will of God.  

James 3:2  For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

Your month can change the way you present yourself before man, even if they are Christians, or sinners.

Ecclesiastes 5:6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

What drives you to live holy?

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

The true faithful servants of the Lord Jesus Christ, will see the change in others that are falling short of holiness.  

Proverb 10:9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

Living by the Spirit
Galatians 5: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Look deeply into your life, and Examine yourselves, if you are truly living in the will of God? are you living Holy for the Lord? As it is written:

I Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Hebrew 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

The fiery furnace


Daniel 3:15-29

The story of the faithful 3 Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will always remind us that God is greater the man. We seem to forget that God will get us through are most difficult times no matter what you maybe going through.    

Our flesh can only see as far as we can look line of sight. Our strength is limited in this world. If you work through God, we can receive a booster in our lives with unlimited favors from the Lord. God is not line of sight. He is our overseer with no limitation.

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

I John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

The devil from the beginning create a mindset that we can overpower God.

Genesis 3:4 Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.  

After the great flood. If you recall as the world began to turn against God again. Man created a tower to reach God, The Lord was very angry with man and change the course of man that day.

The tower of Babel

Genesis 11:4-11 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

The 3 Hebrew boys proved their faith by not trying to feature out God from a carnal, or a theory of scientific methods which ends up in endless studies of dead ends. They knew if they trusted in the Lord as a loving God they would have the upper hand on any issues of life. You are a winner with the Lord on your side. Who could compete with God?   

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?       

Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

As we could see in our last days science is increasing in knowledge to feature out where heaven and God exist. This is a reminder of another Babel days. The bible tells us that man will increase in knowledge.   

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Pray always, and always look to the Lord for direction. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego had a relationship with God that would never change their mind to compromise their faith. They really loved the Lord to give there human life up for God. They had a love that was authentic.
