--Friend, If you have not yet given your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please do it now. He died a brutal, excruciating painful death on that Cross, to save you so you can one day spend eternity with Him, in Heaven. Yes, there most definitely is Heaven. There is also Hell. He leaves that choice up to you, where you will spend eternity. You may not be here tomorrow. Only the Lord knows the day or hour that He will return. "It is appointed unto man once to die, and then the Judgment." ---(HEBREWS 9 verse 27). Have you ever walked through a (cemetery), grave yard, maybe to find someone who passed on, or to visit the grave site of someone else? Look around and you will find, people die at all ages, from their first day of life all the way through 100+. The Bible says our days are numbered. Please, if you have not accepted Jesus as your Savior, do so now. [-Sadly, there are many babies that are killed by abortion. God will hold them [abortionists], accountable. "Thou shalt not kill." When a baby dies, they go straight into the arms of Jesus.]
Say a prayer such as, "Lord, I am a sinner in need of You to be my Savior. Please forgive me of all my sins, come into my life and help me to live for You. Thank You, Lord Jesus for saving me. Help me to never be ashamed of You. I accept your gift of salvation. I give myself to You, Lord Jesus.~ amen"
-"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. "For Whoever will call on the Name of the Lord will be saved." --(Romans 10: verses 9,10,13/ NASB)-- ------ ---PROOF OF IDENTITY~~ --"Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; for I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts." ---(Jeremiah 15:16 / NASB)-- ---Jeremiah was humbling himself before the Lord and reminding Him that he loved His words and was called by His name. When you believe in Jesus as the Messiah and submit to His lordship over your life, you become a new creation with a new name. What kind of name have you had? Have you been known as an angry person, a violent person, an immoral person, a self-righteous person, someone unwilling to believe? Just as certainly as you are a new creation in Christ, you are now known by His name: child of God, Jesus-follower, Christian. The power of God is present to help you become more like Him. Whatever you have done, His mercy is sufficient to forgive you. Whatever you have been, He can change you. The power of God will mean more to us and be more available to us if we will humble ourselves and lean into God’s Word. Won’t you commit to trust Him more fully today? THINK ABOUT IT--The only way to realize your true identity is to discover your identity in Christ Jesus. The One who made you knows exactly who He made you to be. To know who you truly are, start by knowing Him. By reading the Holy Bible, Jesus speaks to us. Perhaps start in the Gospel of John. Ask the Lord to open your spiritual eyes to understand His Word. PRAYER"Heavenly Father, You can make all things new, including me. I trust Your work in me, My Creator and Redeemer. May my image increasingly reflect Your Son. I am in awe of Your workmanship in Your creation and in me. In Jesus’ name, amen."Blessings, Pastor Allen Jackson--------------
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
