Salvation

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-31-15

by

John 5:39,40 (NKJV) 39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

The scriptures are God’s words that point us to His Son, Jesus Christ; our Lord and Savior. But in order to find salvation and have eternal life, we have to do more than just read them. We have to come to Jesus.

How do we come to Jesus?

We come just as we are. We don’t need to do anything to change ourselves before we come to Him. As we come to Him and give our heart and our life to Him, He will change us, help us and give us eternal life.

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. When we believe in Him, repent of our sins and ask Him to save us, we will have eternal life.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Come to Him today. Let Him help you.

Maybe we are saved and we’ve been a Christian for years, but our life doesn’t seem to be changing; it’s in constant turmoil. Jesus wants us to also come to Him and talk to Him about these things, so that He may be able to help us make the changes we need to make and take the steps that will get us free from the things that are holding us down.

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-3-15

by

Romans 1:16 (NKJV) 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

The gospel of Christ.

It is this life-saving gospel that has brought millions upon millions to repentance over the centuries.

If you are a Christian, a follower of Christ, it is only because of the gospel of Christ that you can say so.

It is only because of the gospel of Christ that you can lay claim to freedom from sin and death.

It is only because of the gospel of Christ that we came to be aware of our sinful condition and asked for God’s forgiveness, putting our faith and trust in Him.

And it is only because of the gospel of Christ that we have freedom in this life, leading us to a life forever with our Creator.

The gospel of Christ is powerful and life-changing.

Let Him change your life today, too. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-19-14

by

1 John 5:11 (NKJV) 11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

The end of the world will come some day and no one knows exactly when. We can tell that it is getting close through the signs of different events taking place all around us, but we still don’t have any idea when it will actually be. All we know is it will come some day.

If we have Jesus, we are safe and have nothing to be concerned about other than what Jesus has commanded us to do. As His children, while we are here, we are to love one another.

John 13:34 (NKJV) 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

But those that don’t have Jesus will have a bad ending and they should be very concerned about where they will go if they don’t get things right and make the right decision. Maybe some people don’t care or even think about the end, maybe they just think that when they die that’s it… you’re dead and everything is over for you.

But this verse clearly states that it doesn’t end there and those that have Jesus will live eternally.

Don’t you want eternal life?

Get Jesus in your life today and don’t wait. You don’t have to be perfect. You can have a lot of problems. You may think you are not good enough, etc., but Jesus is not concerned about your faults, your weaknesses or your mistakes. He is concerned about your soul. Give your life to Him and He will help you work on those other problems as you walk with Him.

The end will come for each one, but if we have Jesus we are safe!

The prayer below is for those that want Jesus in their life.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I have acknowledged that I need You in my life and I believe that Jesus died for my sins. I want You to come into my heart and help guide me and lead me. I want to live my life with You and for You. I repent of all the wrong things I have done and ask for Your forgiveness. I ask You to cleanse me and make me a new creation. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Please let us know if you have prayed this prayer. We would love to celebrate with you!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-28-13

by

(Luke 7:50 NKJV)  Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

It won’t anyone’s faith but our own that saves us.

We can not ride on the coat tails of our Pastors and get a free ride into Heaven. They can preach us a message of salvation, but it takes our faith to be saved.

The same goes for our parents, our teachers, our brothers, sisters, or our friends, etc. We can not be saved by their faith; it has to be our own personal faith in Jesus Christ.

As we call upon the name of Jesus Christ and repent from our sins, believing that He is the Son of God and that He came to save us from our sins, we shall be saved!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-10-13

by

Ephesians 2 (NKJV) And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins…

We were all dead in our sins. Every single one of us. And sadly, very few of us even knew we were dead.

It is our sin that separates us from God. It is the great canyon that stands between us and the Father. This canyon is so vast that the human eye cannot see across it.

There is no bridge that can be built across this canyon, except for one. That one bridge cannot be built by human hands or human engineering. It is a bridge created in the spirit realm. That bridge is created across the shoulders of Immanuel, God with us, Jesus Christ.

It is held together with the large nails that were driven into His wrists and feet. And it is painted in His blood, the precious blood that washes our sins away.

And yet, even though we were dead, we have been made alive! Amen!!

Jesus paid the price for our sin… our terrible sin, and offers us redemption through His brutal death and beautiful resurrection.

This, the ultimate sacrifice, is the one thing that can make us alive and put our sin so far from us that it cannot be found or seen again.

Thank Him today for this incredible bridge that was built in a way that no man and no demon can destroy it.

Thank Him and give Him glory and honor.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-3-13

by

John 1:11-13 (NKJV) 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Jesus came to present Himself to the world, as a living sacrifice, to redeem a sinful humanity from our sins.

The vast majority of His own people (the Jews and those from His hometown) rejected him. But He didn’t come just for those people.

He came for “as many as received Him”! He didn’t limit His sacrifice only to the Jews or the people who knew Him as a boy. He gave of Himself freely for anyone who would receive Him unto themselves.

To these people, He gave the right to become children of God… sons and daughters of the King… the Most High God!! That applies to you and to me!

Have you received Him? Going to church doesn’t make us children of God. Believing that God exists doesn’t make us Children of God, for even the demons believe and they tremble! Singing modern spiritual songs or old hymns doesn’t make us children of God. Although all of these things are good, not a single one of them makes us His child.

We must receive Him by believing that He died for our sins and putting our faith in Him.

So I ask you again, Have you received Him?

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-13-13

by

(John 3:36 NKJV)  “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

So many times, people ask if there is more than one way to heaven or more than one way to eternal life.

Some people will try to water down the gospel and make it pleasing to man, not wanting to offend anyone or hurt anyone’s feelings. This is a disservice to the people who want to know the truth and it is a slap in the face of Jesus, who suffered and died the cruelest of deaths for every single human being on the face of the earth.

The truth is plain and simple; Jesus is the one way to eternal life. He is the one way to the Father. He is The Way.

(John 14:6 NKJV)  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

So if anyone ever asks a question about how to get to heaven, or how to have eternal life, or if we believe that Jesus is the only way to the Father, we should be sure to answer them very boldly and without shame or hesitation, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

There is only one way. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-8-13

by

(1 John 5:20 NKJV)  And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

Eternal life comes from Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It is that simple.

There is nothing else that can give us eternal life. There is no other way but through Jesus Christ, God’s Son. We don’t want to miss this important truth.

There are many other teachings out there that can cause confusion, but we need to get the understanding that has been given to us.

If you have been taught differently about Heaven or life after death, it needs to be compared to the Word of God to make sure it lines up with what God says is the truth. It is the truth that sets us free.

If you have never received Christ as your Lord and personal Savior, we will pray with you today a prayer of Salvation and you will have eternal life. Christ will live in you and give you understanding that you may learn Him and His way for your life.

Dear God in Heaven,

I come to You today at this time in my life and cry out, asking for Your forgiveness from my sinful life. I ask Jesus to come into my heart and be my Savior and help me live the life You have called me to live each day.

I ask You for Your strength, understanding and wisdom today to make the right decision. Thank you!

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen

If you have received Christ as your personal Savior today, please write and let us know. We want to be praying for you and we are here if you have any questions or need help in any way.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-31-13

by

(John 1:12-13 NKJV)  But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: {13} who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

But as many as received Him… These are very important words for the world to hear and understand.

We all need to understand what this means! Sadly, there is a false teaching that has been propagated throughout the earth that teaches that just because Jesus died, everyone will go to heaven.

Many people believe that we are all God’s children. But this verse above is one of many that breaks this myth and shows us that we need to receive Him in order to be called one of God’s children.

Yes… we are all God’s creations, but we are not all God’s children. This verse proves it!

Have you received Him? Have you acknowledged Him and accepted the sacrifice that he made for you on the cruel cross? Do you believe that He died for your sins?

Becoming one of God’s children isn’t difficult and it doesn’t require you to do anything special other than to put your faith in Him.

If you have never done this, do it today. Tell Him that you need Him. Ask Him to forgive you for your sins and then ask Him to help you start fresh and make you new.

It’s that easy. He’s waiting for you to reach out to Him and become one of His children. Do it right now, in the name of Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-17-13

by

(Matthew 18:11 NKJV)  “For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost“.

We lost it! It was our doing in the garden.

That’s right… woman and man, man and woman. We messed up the plan as we disobeyed God, by eating of the fruit from the tree that was forbidden. It was not something to take lightly, that’s for sure. We were not going to have it easy after that ordeal.

Our relationship with Him was destroyed that day. But God, in all His Mercy and Goodness, sent His Son to save that which was lost. Our sinful nature was so bad; He could not be near us.  But, the love that He has for us saved us!

Thank you God, for your love for us and for Your  Son, who was willing to come and was crucified that we may be able to get back what was lost in the garden; our relationship with You!

As a young child, I always believed in God… that He was the Creator of this world. I believed that He loved me, and I believed He cared about me. But, that was not going to get me to Heaven or give me a relationship with Him.

What was going to get me to heaven was believing in His Son, Jesus Christ, and trusting in Him to live in me, to change me and make me the person He wants me to be.

Knowing about God has not saved me. Believing that God exists cannot save me. That’s not enough. What saved me and what saves us all is believing in His Son, Jesus Christ, and the sacrifice that He made for us on the cross.

We have a personal Savior that has made it right so we can walk with God once again. Believe in Him today, if you haven’t already; make the best decision you’ll ever make.

Choose Jesus Christ as your personal Savior!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-25-12

by

(Isaiah 9:6 NKJV)  For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

We’re not ones to get caught up in tradition or giving traditional messages on specific holidays, but this group of verses has been in the forefront of my mind today.

Although we don’t know the exact date that Jesus the Messiah was born here on earth, we do know that He was born and walked the earth among us for a little over three decades.

This birth was the most significant event in the history of mankind.

As we celebrate Christmas, we are not celebrating the gifts that we give or receive. We’re not celebrating the gifts that were laid at the feet of the newborn King over 2000 years ago. We’re not celebrating the star that lead people to where the Messiah was born.

We are celebrating the ultimate gift… the gift of salvation being offered to every human being, through Jesus. We are celebrating the arrival of God here on earth, in human form, coming to live among us and then die for us on a cruel, torturous Roman cross.

We encourage you today to spend time with your friends and family, celebrating. We encourage you to enjoy this day… to relax and have fun. But most of all, know that you have been given the biggest gift you will ever receive in your lifetime; the love of God offered to you in the form of the ultimate sacrifice.

If you have received that gift of salvation, thank Him for it. If you haven’t made that choice, do it right now. And thank Him for it. You’ll never receive a gift like it again in your life.

Merry Christmas. We love each and every one of you from the bottom of our hearts.
