* WHAT MUST WE DO TO BE SAVED?

Read also John 3

First all must HEAR the gospel.

Romans 13:1 ESV Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

Acts 17:29-31 ESV Being then God’s offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.” We were disconnected from God when Adam and Eve sinned against God (the fall of men in Genesis 3). And only thru Jesus Christ that mankind will be saved.

Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken by God, struck down and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.…(Isaiah 53:4-6).

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

Second, we must BELIEVE what we’ve heard.

We must understand that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died for us and had risen from the dead, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.(Ephesians 4:4)

But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. (Acts 8:12)

Third; REPENT of your sins.

“The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!” (Mark 1:15)

Fourth, CONFESSION.

Confession that you believe and acknowledge the gospel.

Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Surrender your all to Him. (James 4:7)

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Fifth, BE BAPTIZED.

Be baptized for the remission of sins. (Revelation 1:5) …To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood, (Romans 6:3-4) …all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death.

Finally, LIVE FAITHFULLY.

Galatians 5:22-26 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Let’s Pray: Abba Father God, I believe Your Son Jesus Christ died for me, and on the third day, You raised Him from the dead. Now He seated at Your right hand. I repent of all of my sins. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I receive Him in my heart. I surrender my all to Him and I will follow Him. Fill me and Baptize me with Your Holy Spirit.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Awesome Saturday to y’all!

A Better Way to Pray

FriYay

Philippians 4:13 ESV

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Episode 6

Matthew 6:5-14 NIV

Prayer

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

“This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
    but deliver us from the evil one.[b]

14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Enjoy your weekend…
