Being a Man.... And Being Significant (Part 4)

-
John 11: 25-27 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.  He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.  And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.  Do you believe this?  She said to Him, “Yes Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is come into the World.”  (NKJV)

We are significant to God by the nature of His death burial and resurrection.  God desires for us to be in His presence for eternity. God’s greatest sacrifice was the giving of His only Son that we may spend eternity with Him.  What Christ did on the Cross should not make us arrogant but it should certainly make us grateful.  It should cause us to fall on our faces before God and thank Him for all that He has done.

The woman in today’s verse is already in heaven.  We have her response: She said to Him, “Yes Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is come into the World.”  

Now it is your turn to answer this same question that Jesus asked her. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.  He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.  And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.  Do you believe this?  What is your answer to Him?  Do you know that Christ died for your sins? 

John 3:16 is quite clear on Jesus’ call on your life.  Have you ever made the decision to accept Christ as your personal Savior?  If you were to die today, do you know for a fact that you would go to Heaven?  Or is it possible that you may go to Hell instead?  Are you sure about your salvation in Christ?  Only you can answer these questions.  If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, do so today.  Don’t put it off any longer.  If you desire to accept Christ as your Savior and accept His sacrifice for your sins on the Cross, your can recite the sinner’s prayer below.  This is your time, and this your choice and yours alone.  No one can do this for you.

My decision to receive Christ as my Savior
Confessing to God that I am a sinner, and believing that the Lord Jesus Christ died for my sins on the cross, and was raised for my justification, I do now receive and confess Him, as my personal Savior.

If you have made a decision to follow Christ and have repeated the above prayer, I would like to hear from you about this.  E-mail me and I can get some literature into your hands that will be incredibly helpful in your walk. My E-Mail is: gnbfm2013@gmail.com

Prayer:  Dear Heavenly Father, help me to understand the significance of the Cross and what Jesus did to secure my place in eternity with You.  In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

May God richly bless us as we continue seek His will, and His way, through His Word.

Have a GREAT Day!!!

In Christ,

David Calls Out!

-
Psalms 55: 1   Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.  My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught.  (NIV) David is going through some tough times here.  He is calling out to God for relief.  He knows God will hear him. We should approach God the same way.  It is clear that David has this unlimited trust in the Father.  David has a relationship with Him and God enjoys pouring out His love and grace on those who trust Him to do so.  At the end of this Psalm we see a new David.  Vs.23 closes with: But as for me, I trust in you. Regardless of any circumstances God is near and ready to hear you call out to Him.  Yes, our thoughts can trouble us.  As men we have a different thought life.  We know how bad it can be at times to concentrate on God in prayer only to find our mind wandering to an area it shouldn’t be.  Don’t worry God hears and knows your heart, and rescue is on the wa...

The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper

-
  Promise Keepers 1993-2024-2 The attendance of that conference in Indianapolis Indiana at the Hosier Dome was a little over 70,000. Many conferences over the next several years averaged between 60,000 and 70,000. Several conferences were held throughout the year, mostly from early summer into mid-fall. Some conferences were held in open stadiums and others held in enclosed arenas. One was even held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before we get into the individual promises, I have listed the seven promises below to give you an idea of the direction we will be following. I am currently working on a biography covering the years I was able to attend the conferences. Several years we were able to attend more than one conference and sometimes three. At the time the individual admission was $72.00 per person. Most of the men were from young families and the admission price was hard to come by, plus we had to add the cost for an overnight stay which var...

Instructions Of A Father

-
Proverbs 4: 1   Hear O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding, (NASB) As I look at this verse for the day I see the seriousness of our responsibilities as fathers to our children. Just as we are to look to our heavenly Father for His wisdom applied to our lives through His Word, our children look to us so that they too, in life, will  gain understanding .  How prepared are we as dads to reveal to our children the truths of life as revealed in the Bible. The first thing they see is our walk. We can say all we want, but unless our walk reflects what we say, our children will not take what we say seriously. At times they will test us and push us to the limit. We MUST stick to our convictions. We also must fulfill the promises we have made to our kids. If we told them we would be there for them at a game, or some performance, or activity, we better be there. If we are not, then the power of ...
