Jesus Saves
(...yea but saves
from what?)
Jesus is the most important figure in all the human history, past, present
and future. He is God in flesh (John 1:1,14; Col. 2:9), physically risen from the dead three days
after being crucified, Lord (Luke 24:34; John 2:19-21) and Savior (Acts 5:30-32). He came to die for us sinners (Rom.
5:8)
to deliver us all from the righteous wrath of God upon us.
Have you every broken any commandment?
Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not
steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shall honor thy father and thy mother.
Of course you have, we all have. No ones Perfect, except one person,
it says so in the Bible...
1Ki 8:46 "..for there is no man that sinneth not"
2 Chr.6:36
"There is no man which sinneth not."
Pr.20:9
"Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin."
Ec.7:20
"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth
not."
Rom.3:23
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
1 Jn.1:8
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth
is not in us."
1 Jn.1:10
"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
-----
Jesus is the One you need. He alone.
Not your works (Rom. 3:10-12; Isaiah 64:6). You will not be saved by your works.
Not your sincerity. Not your pure goodness. You have nothing to offer God except your sinfulness, we are all unworthy
before him. It is only by the love and grace of God found in Jesus and His sacrifice that you can be delivered, can
evidently, be saved!
Of course this does not mean, that you are free to
sin.. if you love our Lord Jesus, which is achieved as you get to know him more, then when you sin, it hurts because you know
you hurt him.. if you truly love God, you will read the Word daily.. that is the most important thing. Jesus is the Living
Word. It is Jesus that can help you, and only Him. Jesus/Word will fight the battles for you, all you have to do is seek Him,
as you read the Word you will overcome anything for with God NOTHING is impossible, God will defeat evil in battle
after battle for you! However you have an option, CHOICE. It is you that decides if you want to seek God or remain a sinner.
. its pretty simple.. as you get to know our father more and more, you will succeed. You will not longer fall in sin as frequently
as you most likely do now. You will have him in your side.To guide you. You will grow spiritually as you overcome experiences,
and this is why we must remain in prayer.. always. For the flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing!
