What do think when you hear the word “Jesus”?
Condemnation, religion, Church, rules , republican and
dogma? I hope to answer some of these questions. Let us see what the bible
says.
John 3:14-17
14 "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; 15 so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life. 16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
John 3:14-17
14 "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; 15 so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life. 16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
To us it says we only have to believe and
that’s where it goes. So, when you boil
it down, it’s a change in your belief system, not a turn to a religious body or
church doctrine.
What about rules?
Let’s start by the laws that govern our behavior in the
United States. Try not paying taxes and see what happens. God knew we would all
fall short. How about lying (by omission), stealing and bearing false witness
(Gossip) and pre-marital sex? I fall short of many of these. What will we say
when confronted by God? I’m sorry? That’s not enough. God wants to have an
intimate relationship with each one of us and will seek us out like a father
coming to the rescue! God sent his son to redeem us and bring us into his
family!
Sacrifice, God needs this to forgive our sins. Jesus came as
an offering for us in order to enter his kingdom.
I understand that we were born into sin thanks to Adam and
Eve. I hope this answers a couple of these questions. If we all were not set
into sin, why would God send his son to suffer and die for us?
So, this system of universal laws pertain to us. We used to
burn sheep, goats and cattle as offerings to receive forgiveness then Jesus
came as an offering for us all!! Even you!! Now is the time and now is the
place!
Simply say
Simply say
"Jesus, I am sorry for my sins, I surrender completely to
you, write my name in the Lamb’s book of life, Thank you Jesus!!"
There is an eternal reservation in heaven just for you!! Thank you for reading through this blog! You have taken a huge step in your life and want to congratulate you!!
