- These
ten words can change your life -- right
now! It's all you need to receive eternal
life. And it doesn't matter who you are,
where you are, or what you may have done.
Let's take a closer look at what they are saying.
"BELIEVE
. . ." To believe
in something means to acknowledge, to trust, to take
stock in, to rely on, accept. This
last definition is particularly important. For the
Bible is clear that we are saved not by what we do or say
but by faith. The Apostle Paul
says it like this:
- "For
it is by grace you have been saved, through faith
-- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift
of God -- not by works, so that no one can
boast." (Eph 2:8)
".
. . in the Lord Jesus . . ."
These words tell us in whom we are to believe.
People "believe" in a great many things: i.e.
life, our home, our car, our money, the government, the
value of education, and many more. None of these,
however, can save us. Salvation
only comes through the Lord Jesus Christ --
nothing nor no one else will do! The Bible sets
this issue to rest when it says:
- "For
I am the way and the truth and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through me."
(John 14:6)
".
. . and you will be saved . . ."
The
question of salvation is put to rest in Jesus
Christ. There is NO doubt about it, you are
ABSOLUTELY saved when you believe in Christ.
Period! It's a guarantee! It's a fact!
It's for sure. You need not worry about it.
You need not doubt it -- although many do. You need
be afraid. When you place your faith and
trust in Jesus Christ you WILL BE SAVED (not maybe)! The Bible
also adds:
- "Everyone
who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved." (Romans 10:13)
-
- Q:
What Will I Be Saved From?
-
SIN!
Sin is more than something we do. Sin is
our willful disobedience to God. And it
doesn't matter how good a person we think we may
be, EVERYONE, no matter who you are, HAS SINNED
against God. Again, the Bible addresses
this issue for us:
-
- "For
all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of
God." (Roman 3:23)
Worst of all, we must, and someday will be, punished for
our sins. Death is something WE ALL
experience. And the reason for death is sin . . .
- "The
wages of sin is death . . ." (Roman 6:23)
-
- Q:
But won't God understand that I tried?
-
No! Society
often tries to make us think everyone will be
saved, or that God will "give us a
break" if we work hard enough, but the
testimony of scripture is clear -- NO ONE will be
without excuse!
-
- "The
wrath of God is being revealed from heaven
against all the godlessness and wickedness of men
who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since
what may be known about God is plain to them,
because God has made it plain to them. For
since the creation of the world God's invisible
qualities -- his eternal power and divine nature
-- have been clearly seen, being understood from
what has been made, so that men are without
excuse." (Romans 1:18-20 emphasis added)
-
- Q:
What do I do?
-
This question is fairly common at this
point. Fortunately, God realizes our
desperate condition and offers to forgive us for
ALL the wrong, all the sin, we have ever
committed. And He does this for no other
reason than He loves us . . .
-
- "For
God so loved the world that He gave us his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life."
(John 3:16)
- It's
no wonder that verse is often seen at sporting
events, on billboards, and under people's
signature. John 3:16 is perhaps the
most important message in all the world!
God Loves YOU!!
-
- You've
just read the most important message in the
world, about the most important person who ever
lived, with the greatest offer ever made. This
brings us with one VERY important question . . .
