Millions
of people have died without ever hearing about Lord Jesus. There are people in this country who have attended church faithfully
all their lives, but have only heard the social Gospel and have never been told how they could be saved by Lord Jesus
Christ.
See
for yourself the Gospel of Lord Jesus, the gospel of salvation as it is in its simplest verses; Here you are called to repent,
to get baptized and to serve Lord Jesus as a new creation.
A man doesn’t go to Hell because he
is a liar, a cheat, a thief, or a murderer. He goes to Hell because he rejects or neglects God’s remedy for sin. That
remedy is the blood of the Lamb of God that was shed on the cross of Calvary.
He who rejects Me, and does not receive My
words, has that which judges him -the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.( John 12:48)
For God sent not his Son into the world to
condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth
not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God .( John 3:17-18 )
The Father loves the Son, and has given all
things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life,
but the wrath of God abides on him. (John 3:35,36)
You are born in sin and continue to sin
Therefore, just as through one man (Adam)
sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned. (Romans 5:12)
For all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God, (Romans 3:23)
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive
ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (1 John 1:8)
For there is not a just man on earth who does
good and does not sin. (Ecclesiastes 7:20)
The punishment for sin is the everlasting fire
“Then
He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the
devil and his angels. (Matthew 25:41)
Lord Jesus says: “and will cast them
into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 13:42)
“Then he cried and said, ‘Father
Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented
in this flame.’ (Luke 16:24)
He himself shall also drink of the wine of
the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone…
(Revelation 14:10)
And the smoke of their torment ascends forever
and ever; and they have no rest day or night.
(Revelation 14:11)
Lord Jesus can save you from sin and the lake of fire
In Him we have redemption through His blood,
the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. (Efeseni 1:7)
To Him all the prophets witness that, through
His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins. (Acts 10:43)
… Christ died for our sins according
to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, (1 Corinthians
15:3-4)
… and the blood of Jesus Christ His
Son cleanses us from all sin. (I John 1:7)
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there
is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)
Make a covenant with Lord Jesus thru the baptism in water
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying,
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (Mathew 28:18,19)
Now when they heard this, they were
cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and
let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of
the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:37, 38)
Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning
at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him.
Now as they went down the road, they came
to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?”
Then Philip said, “If you believe with
all your heart, you may.”
And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
So he commanded the chariot to stand still.
And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. (Acts 8:35-38)
You MUST be born again in order to see and enter the kingdom of God
There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus,
a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi,
we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless
one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Nicodemus said to Him, “How
can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and
the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. (John 3:1- 5)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.( 2 Corinthians 5:17)
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor
uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. (Galatians 6:15)
If
indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former
conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and
that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. (Ephesians 4:21, 22, 23,
24)
Ask Lord Jesus to baptize you with the Holy Spirit – The guarantee
of our inheritance
If you then, being evil, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him! (Luke
11:13)
Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon
you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high. (Luke 24:49)
And being assembled together with them,
He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said,
“you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many
days from now.( Acts 1:4,5)
In Him you also trusted, after you
heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit
of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His
glory. (Ephesians 1:13, 14)
Who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit
in our hearts as a guarantee. (2 Corinthians 1:22)
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,
by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. (Ephesians 4:30)
When they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For as yet He had fallen upon none
of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. (Acts 8:15,16)
While Peter was still speaking these words,
the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many
as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they heard them speak
with tongues and magnify God.
Then Peter answered, “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized
who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”(Acts 10:44, 45, 46, 47)
What should you do right
now if you believe in Lord Jesus
Repent: You must recognize yourself
as a sinner, be sorry of what you have done in your worldly life and most importantly, you must decide in your heart to change
and live the rest of your life for Lord Jesus.
Be Baptized: At this point you are
not required to confess any sins but to observe the teaching of Lord Jesus and get baptized in water, moment in which you
will declare your faith in Lord Jesus before God and other witnesses.
Take Communion: Now as a member
of the church of Lord Jesus, you have the right for the first time to take communion witch is the body and the blood of the
new covenant of Lord Jesus. This is in remembrance of his sacrifice at Golgotha.
Your Baptism with the Holy Spirit: Your
pastor will organize special prayers in witch you may be baptized with the Holy Spirit by Lord Jesus if you believe. All those
baptized with the Holy Spirit will speak in tongues.
