A Salvation Message
Could This Be You?
I was inspired by God to write this message to a young girl in her early
twenties who was dying with aides. However, the same message applies to
anyone who has not met Jesus Christ as their Savior.
If you have found your way to this page then I believe that it is not
by chance or by accident, but rather by -- Divine Appointment --
just for *you*.
God loves you so much that he made sure that you would find your
way to this page to read this message at this exact moment in your
life.
My friend, I am going to get right to the point -- I am a no nonsense
kind of girl and I believe in being painfully honest. It’s the only
chance you have -- if you are willing to listen to the truth.
First of all -- you have been a victim of Satan. You may think that you
are the predator but YOU are the Prey my dear. Satan’s ultimate goal
has been to make you believe that God is to blame for
all your misfortune’s -- so that you would react exactly the way
that you have. By trying to hurt other people as much as you feel
that you have been hurt yourself.
You are the prey that Satan wants to devour and destroy and take
to hell with Him and then shake His fist at God and laugh and say
I deceived another one. I kept another one from knowing your
love and your salvation. Satan is your real enemy -- not God.
It’s human nature to blame God, as well as other people for all of our
misfortunes. We don’t like taking responsibility for our own behavior and
choices. The free will thing. Much easier for us to live with our bad
choices if we can justify our actions by blaming someone else.
As bad as things might be -- you are not alone -- there are many people in
this world with lives that are a shambles and out of control -- the consequence
of bad choices and sin. If anyone is to blame -- it is Satan -- that is his
job -- his goal -- his whole purpose -- to take as many of God’s people with
him to hell and everlasting punishment as he possibly can because he already
knows what his fate is.
With Satan -- there is absolutely no hope -- no second chances --
only despair, fear and death.
Until the moment that you actually breathe your last breath -- you have a
choice -- you do have hope -- there is good news in spite of how bad a
predicament that you find yourself in. I know that you may think that you
are hopeless -- but you are wrong .
Yes, there’s no question that you have been a sinner
(there are billions of us in the world).
Who do you think Jesus came to this earth to die for??
For you and for me and all the other sinners.
Do you know that there is no sin greater or lesser than another? They are all
equal in God’s sight. And the ONLY cure or remedy for sin is Confession and
repentance. (meaning -- stop your sinning) You do have a choice and you can
do it.
Let me tell you a few things that I have learned about God -- God doesn’t
care if you go to a priest to confess your sins -- A priest has no more
right to talk to God than you do. In fact, the Bible says that WE are
to confess our sins to God and that if WE do -- HE is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins and that He actually remembers them no more -- He
removes them from you -- as far as the east is from the west -- and you
become washed and clean with the blood of Jesus. And then -- there is
therefore no more condemnation (punishment) to those who are in Christ Jesus.
Don’t let the devil trick you into believing that you are a hopeless case
that there is not another sinner as bad as you are and that there is no
way that God could ever forgive you. WRONG!!!!!!!!!
There is absolutely NO UNPARDONABLE SIN ---
except rejecting Jesus as your Saviour.
It is a fact that all of us have an appointment with death sooner or later.
Do you really want to die and go to hell when God has offered you a way out
of that???
Yes, you deserve punishment -- we ALL do ... But the hope that a Christian
has and the Good News is that we don’t have to experience the punishment
of hell that we truly deserve because JESUS TOOK OUR PLACE -- he received
the punishment that we deserve.
Our being worthy or not to get into heaven has absolutely nothing to do
with US and HOW GOOD or BAD we are -- it has EVERYTHING to do with whether
we have asked Jesus Christ to be our personal Saviour and the Lord of our
life. We realize that we NEED a saviour because the Bible tells us that
ALL men have fallen short -- that their is not one righteous or good man
-- and in fact, our good works are like filthy rags before God and that
if any man says he is without sin -- that he is a liar.
Eph 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (KJV)
The ONLY thing that makes us acceptable in God's sight is that we have
believed in what Jesus did for us when HE took our place and died for us
on the Cross. We are deserving of that punishment -- not Jesus. But
because of His Unconditional Love for us -- He took our place so that we
could go to heaven and have eternal life with God.
You also need to know that there is a hell and it is reserved for those
people who do not accept Jesus Christ as their Savior -- who when they stand
before God after they die -- can't answer the question -- WHY should I let
you come into Heaven? The ONLY correct answer is JESUS took my
place and paid the price for me with His Blood on the cross. My sins have
been covered by his blood and I have been forgiven.
I have thought a lot about the criteria for a person to receive Jesus as
their Savior. Its different than just head knowledge or assent or
agreeing that one knows that God exists...or even being raised in a
Christian home....because even the demons know that He exists and believe
in Him but they arent saved. Satan can quote scripture better than you
and I...so, just mere knowledge is not an indication that one is saved.
The Bible says that in order to be saved and I quote:
Rom 10:9-11
That if thou shalt confess with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe
in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever
believeth on him shall not be ashamed. (King James Version of the Bible)
Rom 10:9-11
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is
with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
New International Version)
In light of the above scriptures, I have come to the conclusion
that it is essential, to not only believe it in our hearts ...but because we
have believed -- we must (act on it) by confessing it out loud with our
mouth. In other words something along these lines.
Jesus said, "I AM THE DOOR, IF ANYONE ENTERS BY ME, HE WILL BE SAVED..."
John 10:9. The Bible says: "FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL *CALL* UPON THE NAME
OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED." Romans 10:13.
Prayer of Salvation (an example for you)
"Dear Jesus, I believe in YOU. I believe You are the Son of God, that You
died for our sins, and that you were buried and rose again as it is written
in the Bible, I'm sorry for the things I've done that hurt You. Forgive me
for all my sins. Come into my heart, take charge of my life and make me the
way You want me to be. With Your ever present help, I renounce all my sinful
practices of the past. Cleanse my heart with Your precious blood. Write my
name in Your Book of Life. I confess You now as my Lord and Savior. Fill me
with your Holy Spirit. Thank You, Jesus! In Jesus' Name, Amen."
If you can sincerely say the above prayer and mean it -- God will hear you
and you will be forgiven. I promise you. God says that He will not
turn one person away who comes to Him -- it is not His will that any man
should perish but that ALL should come to the saving knowledge of Jesus
Christ.
The only catch is -- that after you have made your confession and
said your prayer -- you will then be expected to turn away from your old
sinful lifestyle and start trying to live a life according to God’s Plan for
us. And if you don’t know what is expected of you -- it’s all in God’s
manual for life -- the Bible -- read it. It is not meant for our harm or to
keep us from having any fun in this life -- that is another lie of the devil
-- it is meant to give us boundaries for our protection and good -- so that we
are truly in control of our lives and not out of control and headed for
destruction.
You may think that you can’t do it -- but God says that YOU CAN. He
will give you the strength and the power to overcome your old sin nature.
But is is your free will choice. You must chose.
And then, when you stand before God and he asks you on what grounds
should I let you come into Heaven you can say Because I believe that
Jesus died for me and took my place on the cross. That he is My Lord
and Savior and without His death burial and resurrection, I would have
no grounds to enter heaven. It is Only because of what Jesus did for me
on the cross. It has nothing to do with my good deeds or anything apart
from my relationship with the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Satan may very well have tricked you into dieing an early death
because of the bad choices that you have made up to date -- but it doesn’t
have to end in trajedy. Don’t allow Satan to get the last laugh by
totally robbing you of the free gift of Salvation and taking you to hell
with him.
It’s your choice my friend. Only you can make the decision for God or for
Satan. The Bible says to chose THIS DAY -- whom you will serve
-- is it going to be Satan and death or is it going to be God and life?
God really does love you -- he has thrown you a life line of escape if you
are willing to grab onto it -- yes, you still may die early (consequence of sin)
but at least your soul won’t be eternally tormented in hell and when its your time
to die -- you won’t have to be afraid of the consquences because you will know that
you have been forgiven of ALL of your sins because Jesus is your Saviour and you
have become HIS CHILD and you are going to go home to heaven to be with Him --
and not to hell to be punished.
It’s your TIME for YOU to get *real* with God. It’s your ONLY hope.
But THAT is the GOOD NEWS -- there IS hope -- in spite of the hopeless
situation that you find yourself in -- with GOD there is HOPE.
Without God -- you have only death and despair ahead of you.
Now why would you chose death when you can chose life??? It’s your choice.
The Bible says:
Isa 53:5 He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes
we are healed. (KJV)
God does love you -- in spite of you -- he does love you -- His son’s death
on the cross for you proves it. Please accept His offer of love and
forgiveness. And do the best you can to live the rest of your life living
for love instead of hate -- doing good instead of evil -- What matters is
-- how are you going to live the rest of your life?
However much He choses to give to you??
You are in my prayers.
