Beloved,
Jesus is Salvation. He is the almighty word of love and final authority.
He said, John 10:9
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
He said, Mt 4:19
Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
And he said, Mt 16:24
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
He is calling you and I today. He wants us to live a new life today.
He said Mt 19:21
If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
And again he said, Mrk 8:34
Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
We are not saved by our good works. We are saved by the blood of Jesus. But if we do not keep his commandments we are still unsaved, meaning, lost or damned.
He warns us, Mrk 16:16
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Believe what?
Believe that Jesus is the saving power of God and his words to us are true.
Believe him enough to repent of our sinfull ways and follow him as fishers of men.
He also warned us that the highway of Holiness is serious business.
Mt 10:22
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Yes, ask Jesus into your heart. But even more important, do what he says.
Open your bible to the gospel message of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and feed on his word.
Remember the epistles are written to people who had already repented and been baptized.
If you want to know the truth you must know what Jesus has to say.
