----RESCUED!

--The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
---(Titus 2:11 (NIV)

“Salvation” is a wonderful word. Have you ever been saved, not in the religious sense? Have you ever had a deadline to meet at work and a coworker helped you finish on time? Perhaps you had a fussy baby who was pushing you to the brink of exhaustion and a friend came over to bring a meal and take care of your little one so you could go to the grocery or take a nap. Maybe you had car trouble and someone let you borrow a vehicle while yours was in the shop. You might have had unforeseen expenses and someone gently pushed a few bills into your hand. It’s a wonderful but humbling feeling when someone steps into your life and saves you from a difficult situation.

--That’s true in the context of spiritual things as well. “Salvation” is the word God chose to describe His intervention on our behalf—His power exerted for us. Through His grace, He offers salvation that is much more than a ticket to heaven. He is rescuing our total person—body, soul, and spirit—from a life of sin and giving us a fulfilling life on the earth and a glorious future with Him for eternity. The reasonable response to such a gift is an attitude of humility and gratitude toward Almighty God.

**THINK ABOUT IT
Has there been a time when someone rescued you from a situation that you felt powerless to rescue yourself from? How did that make you feel? How did you respond?

**PRAYER
--"Heavenly Father, I am a sinner, and I need a Savior. I believe Jesus is Your Son. I believe He died on a Cross for my sin. I believe You raised Him to life for my justification. Jesus, be Lord of my life and forgive my sin. I forgive any who have sinned against me. I choose to yield to You with all that I am. In Jesus’ name, amen."

[There are many people and churches that teach 'ALL' people go to Heaven. That is not what Jesus said. He tells us in, (1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-11), "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, the the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God."--

[There is a wonderful story of a man who came out of this sinful way, by the grace of God and is now on the road to Heaven with Jesus. Hallelujah! You can read 'his testimony' on the 'Testimony Forum', right here. You too, can be set free to follow Jesus. He died to save you from Hell. He wants to spend all of eternity with you. Bless His Holy Name! Come to Jesus and live eternally, or you choose the bottomless pit with Satan and his demons. Please don't let another day pass without making this declaration to Jehovah God and to others.
"THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of FAITH which we are preaching.

"That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved:
For with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.--(Romans 10:8-10, 13). Please do it TODAY, we are not promised tomorrow.
'For the Scripture says, "For WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS WILL BE SAVED." (JOEL 2:32).
[Ephesians 1:18 NASB]="I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope and His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints."
