 You can be
reconciled to God!
-
Because God is pure,
holy and righteous, He cannot look upon sin and disobedience. Men cannot
do right before God because man's righteousness is like "filthy rags" to
Him.
-
A great separation
stands between God and sinners.
-
-
Because God is just,
there is a judgment of man's sin. Man was sentenced to die three
different deaths as the result of Adam's sin:
-
First, there is
physical death.
-
Genesis 3:19 says that
"you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
-
Next is spiritual
death. Romans 5:12 says "just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through
sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned."
-
Finally, there is
eternal death spoken of in Revelation 20:15:
"And if anyone's name was not
found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
-
Because God is
merciful toward you, and all knowing, He had a perfect plan in which to
demonstrate His mercy toward you and justice toward you at the same
time.
-
The price was high,
yet God's love knows no limit.
-
He gave His Only
begotten Son to take your judgment, the death which was upon men because
of Adam's sin. Jesus Christ Himself bore in His body every one of your
sins and diseases when He hung on the cross:
-
Isaiah 53:4-6 says
-
"Surely
our grief’s He Himself bore, our sorrows He carried; yet we ourselves
esteemed Him stricken, smitten of and afflicted.
-
But He was
pierced through for our transgressions. He was crushed for our
iniquities; The chastening for our being fell upon Him, and by His
scourging we are healed.
-
All of us
like sheep had gone astray, each of us had turned to our own way; but
the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him"
-
Jesus Christ abolished
the sin that separated you and God, and you can become God's child if
you will receive Christ as Saviour and Lord.
-
The penalty for your
sin has been satisfied and you can have life instead of death.
-
You have a great
destiny ahead of you!
-
But you must become
Born Again!
-
Are you born again?
What does it mean to be born again? What does the Bible say about being
born again? In John 3:3 AMP Jesus said;
“I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a
person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be
acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God."
-
Nicodemus, the man
Jesus was speaking to, said,
-
"How can a
man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb again and be
born?"
(John 3:4 AMP).
-
Perhaps you are
thinking the same thing. How can a person be born who has already been
born?
-
Jesus is speaking
about a spiritual birth.
-
When Jesus spoke of
being born again, He was teaching that the inner man must come alive to
God. John 3:6 AMP says, "What is born of [from] the flesh is flesh [of the physical is
physical]; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit."
-
When mothers give
birth to babies, they are flesh born of flesh. When God's Holy Spirit
comes into your human spirit, you are then spirit born of Spirit.
-
This is referred to as
"The New Birth." The Holy Spirit only comes to your spirit one
way.
-
You can only be born
again one way. Just as physical birth can only take place one
way, so it is with spiritual birth.
-
You cannot impart
spiritual life to yourself anymore than you could cause yourself to be
born physically apart from the natural birth process.
-
God will never violate
your free will, unlike natural birth where you had no choice to becoming
part of a natural family, God gives you the right to choose entry into
His family.
-
This is how you become
birthed into the family of God, by invitation, by confessing Jesus as
your Savior.
-
“Father in the name
of Jesus, I confess right now, and I realize that I am a sinner, I
repent of all my sins, I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, and
I thank you right now that I receive your plan of salvation, and
therefore I am Born Again, because Jesus is risen from the dead. AMEN!”
-
WHO AM I NOW ?
-
"I have
been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ
lives in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith
in the Son of God..."
-
Galatians 2:20.
-
Welcome to the family of God.
