Surprise! No, it may not be your Birthday but I'm sure it is someones birthday today. We all like to surprise people with something good, and we all like to be surprised with something good. Most of the time, I don't think we are surprised because people can't keep a secret. We always know that they are up to something. When we are talking about our God, He is never surprised because He knows the future. Because He knows everything, He knew that we were going to need help getting to Heaven because of our sin.
God doesn't want any of us to perish because He loves us. And because He loves us He sent help from Heaven. God is giving man as much time as He can so that we will come to repentance and ask for forgiveness.
2Peter; 3:9
(The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.)
God doesn't want you and I to spend eternity separated from Him. He created us to have fellowship with him and we blew it by sinning. So God put his plan into action to give us Salvation through Jesus Christ His Son. All we have to do is accept the free gift of life from God.
[THE PLAN FOR OUR SALVATION]
John;3:16-17
(For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.)
God tells us in these verses that if we want to be saved, the only way is through Jesus Christ His Son.
Jesus came to save us because we were lost in our sins and doomed to die in those sins without a means of Salvation.
Luke; 19:10
(for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.")
Jesus came to die for our sins. Why would He come down to earth and suffer and die on a cross? Because he loved us so much He was willing to come and die.
Romans; 5:8
(But God demonstrates His love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.)
The Apostle Paul gave this message to the Corinthians.
1Corinthians; 15:3
(For I delivered to you first of all that which I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture,)
It wasn't anything we did to deserve this, because we could never have attained Salvation without Jesus. God knew this and said I'm going to give them the free gift of life, but they must come to My Son Jesus to receive the Gift of Life.
Acts; 4:12
(Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.)
We were slaves to our sinful nature and hopelessly lost. But when we accept Jesus into our life, we are set free from the bondage of sin and become slaves of God.
Romans; 6:22-23
(But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.)
We are told many places in His Word the Bible, that salvation was going to be through His Son Jesus. We are also told that there is no other way for any of us to come to the Father.
John; 14:6
(Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.")
No matter what you might hear or think on this subject, the Scriptures are perfectly clear that Salvation is in Jesus and no other way.
[WITHOUT JESUS YOU ARE CONDEMNED]
John;3:18
("He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.)
Who ever believes in Him shall not perish, we heard this is John;3:16. We must believe in God and put our faith in Jesus.
Hebrews; 11:6
(But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.)
A person must believe not only that God exist, but that He will reward men's faith in Him with forgiveness of sins. He has promised to do so. Don't put off giving your life to God today. Just remember that we are one day closer to His return, and it might be today.
God Bless You!
