Luke 13:25 - 27 "When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:" "Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets." "But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity."
The BEST TIME TO RECEIVE CHRIST IS NOW!
Why to RECEIVE CHRIST?
You're here because you want to receive Jesus Christ as your God and Savior. Receiving Christ is the most wisest decision you could ever make in your LIFE(I am sure of it!). It's GREATER than your accomplishments in your Career. It's far more than reaching the moon.
Why? Because it saves YOU from the PUNISHMENT of the ENDLESS TORMENT.
Me myself come here often to give thanks and remember the past how this Steps had changed the way I live in this world. This receiving is just what I heard from the Man who was used by God to share the Gospel to me. It came to me in plain and simple manner, and hope it will happen for you too. Because if you're not ready yet to receive Christ, you'll have the HARD Time. May God Spoke into your heart.
TRUE CHRISTIAN
A true Christian is a SAVED person and sure to bound in heaven when he die here on earth. If you are unsure of where you will be when you die, then read on and put them into your heart.
Realize and Admit that You are a Sinner.
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
For if you will say you are perfect, then you are not in God. If you say you've done so many Good Works and you are so righteous, then read Isaiah 64:6 "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." You will find out that you're just an "unclean thing" when your good works is not for the Glory of God which is believing the name of His Son Jesus Christ.
And even in 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."
Realize that YOUR Sins MUST be PAID
Your Sins have the penalty of DEATH which will make your SOUL be BOUND to HELL!
Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
The DEATH mentioned is not ALONE about our death above the EARTH but the ENDLESS SUFFERING OF OUR SOULS on the Place of TORMENT, WEEPING and GNASHING of TEETH(I'm referring to HELL)! I pray for you..if God spoken into your heart, understand that HELL is not created by MAN and by their own imaginations!
Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
You know what had happened to Jesus Christ at the Calvary. He PAID all our SINS through HIS DEATH!
Realize that YOUR Sins are ALREADY PAID!
Your SINS are already paid, you are NO LONGER needed to PAY your SINS by your own GOOD WORKS and YOUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS. OUR SINS ARE ALREADY PAID BY our LORD JESUS CHRIST who DIED on the CROSS of CALVARY! OUR SINS WERE ALREADY WASHED OFF and CLEANSE by HIS BLOOD!
Romans 5:8 But "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
He died for our SINS and SAVES us from the PLACE of TORMENT. It is a GIFT because of the LOVE of GOD towards US, and what you'll ONLY need to DO is ACCEPT it and BELIEVE!
REPENT and BE CONVERTED
Since you know that your SINS must be paid. Repent for them while you are yet LIVING above the EARTH.
Mark 1:15 And saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."
Acts 3:19 "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;"
If you can't repent on your SINS, you are hardening your HEART and in the eyes of God you are a FOOL! When you repent, do it in PRAYER and talk to GOD and NOT by doing GOOD WORKS that man CAN SEE it. If you do it by your heart(not by your mind), everything GOOD from GOD that you are expecting will FOLLOW.
RECEIVE CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR
To receive Jesus Christ in our life is not a requirement...it is OBLIGED! We are Obliged to receive Christ and accept Him into our hearts and to live by FAITH in HIM.
John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"
- Salvation is AVAILABLE to EVERYONE who BELIEVE! NOT CHOSEN!
Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
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."
You don't have any NAME to believe to save you from SIN and to have ETERNAL LIFE. It's ONLY JESUS CHRIST the Son of God. NOT THE CHURCH, NOT YOUR BAPTISM, NOT BY ANY MAN!
Ephesians 2:8-9
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"
" Not of works, lest any man should boast."
- You can't be saved by your own GOOD WORKS, but by BELIEVING CHRIST(with this, it will Glorify the FATHER!)
That's all about the GOSPEL and HOW to RECEIVE CHRIST in your HEART. By the time you receive Christ, you are now have the power to become the Sons of God.
Prayer on RECEIVING
If you are ready to receive Christ, you can make this prayer as a pattern or as an example of what you have to pray.
God the Father, I felt so guilty that I commit SIN on not BELIEVING on the Lord Jesus Christ your Son that you have sent to save me from my inequities and sins. Please forgive me God, for now I have heard the TRUTH and have received it and accept Jesus Christ as my savior.
I am now sure and my heart is OPEN to let Jesus Christ come into and live in. I commit myself to be faithful in surrendering my life and strength to you God that you may find me acceptable to serve You and become your SON. This I Pray and Thank You in Jesus Christ's name, Amen.
Now that YOU have RECEIVED Jesus Christ in your LIFE, you will have the HOLY SPIRIT that will guide you on ALL TRUTH.
John 16:13 "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."
You will have the CONVICTION of the WORD of GOD.
John 14:12 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."
You will now the LOVE and CARE to others to SHARE the GOSPEL, because you have the ACCOUNTABILITY on it. Read on Ephesians 1:13 "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,"
