A SAVIOR FOR A SINNER

Rom 10: 9 - That if you confess with your mouth, " Jesus is Lord" and "believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead", you will be saved.

Sharing the Word -

Sin entered through this world through one man (Adam) when he disobeyed God's word. Ever since man's nature is to sin.

Roman 5:12 - Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.

The word of God says that is we continue to sin it will lead to death. We need to come to the realization that we are sinners and have a tendency to sin. Only when we realize that we are sinners, we will seek a saviour. A Sinner needs a Saviour.

By the Grace of God, He sent his only begotten son Jesus, to this world so that we can be saved. As through one man (Adam) sin entered the world, it is also by one man (Jesus) that we can be saved.

Jesus died for the ungodly. This is really the demonstration of God's perfect love for us that even when we were still sinners, Jesus died for us. Through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus we all have been made righteous in the eyes of God. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice. All we have to do is believe in faith that He is the Son of God sent by the Father. John 3 : 16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

Being born again is really to be born from above. This means that we realize we are sinners and now accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. He then comes and dwells in our hearts with all His Glory. We need to surrender ourselves to Him completely so that it is He that dwelt in us (It is no longer I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me). Our sinful nature then dies when we allow him to grow in us. The Glory (Glory means the Fullness) of God (through Jesus) will shine forth through us to those around us.

Jesus is waiting for us to invite Him into our hearts. It is a choice we make.

If you want to receive Jesus in your hearts today, pray this prayer with me -

Father, You have said in your word,
If I call upon the name of the LORD JESUS I will be saved.
Lord I call upon the name of the Lord Jesus
Come Lord Jesus, Come and be the Lord of my Life.
I believe God has raised you from the dead
Come in Lord Jesus,
I receive you now as my Lord & Saviour.
Father, I ask for forgiveness for all my sins.
Satan, I renounce you and all your works in my life.
I thank you Lord that God is my FATHER, Jesus is my LORD
and Heaven is my HOME. Amen.

Fear Not.

John: 21-21 & 22.

When Peter saw him, he asked, what about him Lord? Jesus answered, if I want him to remain until I
return what is that to you.

Sharing of the word:

Many a times we are like Peter we wNt to know whT is happening to others, we waste our time thinking of
unnecessary things, we keep ourselves busy with the things of the world, usually minding other people's
business like Peter.
Isaiah:43-1. God says, " Fear Not" I have redeemed you, I have summoned you by name, You are mine.
This is the word of God. Why are we wasting our time? We should be holding on to God who loves us and who is so
faithful to us. He has set His eyes on you and called you by name.
Today open your heart to the Lord, and let Him speak to you the way He spoke to Peter. Set your heart on fire for
the Lord. Do not worry about whT is happening around you, the Lord will take care of that.
Be forcussed on the Lord read the word and mediate in it everyday. Humble yourself before the Lord.
Fill your mind with the word of God so that the Devil will not make your mind his workshop.
There is a saying:
An Empty Mind Is A Devil's Workshop.
So my dear children, we have to mind our own business - then pray for those you care for.

Unveiled face.

2 Corinthians: 3-18.

We all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord.

Sharing of the word:

The Lord's shinning out of us depends upon the accumulation of His shinning into us. As He shines Himself as the
glorious expression of God into us, He makes us different from what we are by narure. He transforms us.
That is why Paul says, we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as our Lord.
Out of darkness light shall shine, is the one who shinned in our hearts. Christ as the glory of God that
shines out from within us to enlighten others.
Spend 10 minutes with the Lord - not talking but just beholding. " Lord I turn my heart to you". Whenever the heart
turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. The Lord is spirit and where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom.
Then we with unveiled face beholding the glory of The Lord are being transformed from glory to glory.
Day by day the glory will increase.
That is why we see the glory of the Lord as the centre of the Gospel.

John 20:27-29.

"Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side.  Do not be
unbelievingly  but believing".  And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God" Jesus said to him,
"Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed.  Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe".

Sharing:

The faith of God is meaningless if a person is not a Christian, Jesus said, "Thomas, you have seen and now you
believe," but He also said that those who have not seen and yet believed are blessed.  This means that
We are a blessed generation.  We are blessed because Jesus pronounced blessings to those who have not seen Him in person
and yet believed.  Blessings come from God to those who believe in faith.
