CHRIST–THE HOPE FOR SALVATION!
"Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us" (Act 4:12 GNB).
It is a widely presumed assumption that Christ Jesus, the Anointed one of God who died for us all, came for the purpose of setting up religion–Christianity. I got engaged in a conversation with some group of Christians and one of them said "Thanks be to Jehovah who sent His Son Jesus to the world to show us the proper religion to follow." Invariably, this fellow was having the idea that Christ Jesus came to set up Christianity as a religion on earth for men but is not just true. Understand this, in Christ religion is of men, but relationship is of God. God didn't send Christ for the purpose of religion but relationship. God wants relationship with us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
Religion has been on ground before Christ came but that couldn't save the world of humanity. Even in Israel, they had their traditional means of worshipping or rendering services to God but that couldn't save them. God doesn't want humanity to perish anyway, so He initiated the idea of salvation as a means by which men would be saved and also ushered into relationship with God; it is through salvation that we receive the spirit of adoption as children of God. John 1:12 says "But to all who received him, he gave the right to become the children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them" (TLB). This means Jesus is our only hope for salvation.
Why don't you say 'yes' to this expression of God's love today? There's no repentance in hell. The only time you have to key into this salvation plan of God is now that you still have the opportunity to. Are you once saved and you feel you've lost it because you did some inordinate things and you got swept out of faith? You can still make it back into God's arms. He's waiting for you. The truth is, God's love is endless and unconditional. He still loves you as much as He loves Jesus.
TO RECEIVE CHRIST INTO YOUR SPIRIT SAY THIS PRAYER WITH THE WHOLE OF YOUR HEART:
"Lord Jesus I Come To You Today. I Accept That I Am A Sinner, I Can't Save Myself, Save Me. I Believe In My Heart That You Died For Me And Rose For My Justification. I Confess You Today As The Lord And Saviour of My Life. Thank You For Saving Me in Jesus' name. Amen! (If you just said that prayer, chat me up privately or write me through dblessedtruth@gmail.com God bless you exceedingly).
To everyone else; May the infinite love of God prevail in every area of your needs in the Name of Jesus. Amen!
Kindly share this with your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours as you remain blessed in Jesus' Name. Amen!
Good Morning Everyone
