Today is the day of salvation for you!
Hebrews 9:27
And it is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the judgement:
One day you will die and stand before God. If God asked you, “Why should I let you into my heaven?” What would your answer be?
Some people say:
- I am a good person.
- I go to church.
- I give money to the church.
- I was baptized.
- I partake of communion.
All of these statements sound good and are accepted by man. Man does not want to be limited to one way to heaven. Man wants to work his way to heaven so he does not have to submit and surrender his life to Jesus Christ.
The reason these statements do not save a person is because they are all of works and there is no blood.
No blood, no salvation!
No Saviour, no salvation!
Hebrews 9:22
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
All the statements above are things. A thing did not die for you on the cross and shed its blood. It took a person to die on the cross of Calvary and shed His blood as payment for the price of yours and my sin.
1 John 2:1-2
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world.
The word propitiation eliminates all the statements that people use as proof to man that they are saved or are going to heaven.
Propitiation speaks of the person of the Lord Jesus Christ and not things like:
- I am a good person.
- I go to church.
- I give money to the church.
- I was baptized.
- I partake of communion.
The word propitiation means: Jesus Christ is the sacrifice that satisfies God’s righteous demand for sin.
Salvation is through Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is God’s blood sacrifice required for sin.
Satan offers no salvation and his lie to man is to put your faith and trust in things which are bloodless. The person who puts their faith and trust in things which are bloodless will die and spend a Christless eternity in hell to be later cast into the lake of fire.
Satan has deceived people into believing that getting baptized removes or forgives sin and is how a person gets saved and goes to heaven. This is known as baptismal regeneration and is also practiced with babies known as Pedobaptism or Infant baptism. Salvation require each individual to make a personal decision to trust Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord in order to be saved. Infants are incapable of making that personal decision to trust Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord. No one, not even a parent, can make the decision for their infant or any other person to be saved because each individual has to make that decision on their own. If an infant dies I believe the Bible teaches that the infant goes to heaven based upon what David said in 2 Samuel 12:23 “But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.“
Baptismal regeneration is a satanic heretical doctrine that has led many people to hell. Baptism cannot remove nor forgive sin and a person can never get saved by being baptized. If this is true, then God sending Jesus Christ to earth to die and shed His blood on Calvary as payment for man’s sins was in vain. The reason baptism cannot save you is because there in no blood. Baptismal water is not the same thing as the blood of Christ and is not a substitute for the blood of Christ. Satan is always 180 degrees out from God. God has the blood and Satan has no blood. God has the Son who shed His blood on Calvary as payment for man’s sins, and Satan has baptism and baptism is a thing and is not and cannot be payment for man’s sin because it is bloodless. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Remission means forgiveness. So what the Bible is teaching us is that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin.
Jesus Christ is the sacrifice that satisfies God’s righteous demand for sin. A sacrifice (Jesus Christ) dies for a person. Baptism is a thing and a thing is not a sacrifice and therefore cannot die for a person. We do not get baptized to be saved, we get baptized because we are saved. The reason a person gets baptized after they trust Jesus Christ and Him alone when they get saved is for identification purposes that they identify as a born again child of God.
Baptism is about three things:
- It is your public testimony of faith that you are saved.
- It is your obedience to God’s command to be baptized after you are saved.
- It shows the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The correct biblical order is Salvation first and Baptism is second. Faith always comes before baptism.
The mode of Baptism is submerging the candidate under the water. Sprinkling and pouring are improper and incorrect modes of baptism and does not show the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Romans 6:3-4
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
God wants you to know you can go to heaven when you die!
1 John 5:13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
God wants you to know 100% without a doubt that when you die you will be in heaven. You know 100% without a doubt what your name is, that is how sure God wants you to know that you will go to heaven when you die.
You must admit you are a sinner!
Rom 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Jesus Christ tells us that we all are sinners. Sin is anything against the Word of God. We all have lied. If we had to pay the price of one lie, we would spend eternity in hell and never get out.
Rev 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and muderers, and whoremongers,and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
God says that a liar is just as bad as a murderer, whoremonger, sorcerer, idolater, abominable, unbelieving, and the fearful. If we had to pay the price for our sin of lying, it would cost us an eternity in hell. If you noticed in Rev 21:8 that the penalty for lying is the same, the place is he same, the sentence is the same, the torment is forever.
Rom 3:10
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
We will never be good enough to get into heaven. God’s standard is perfection. We are not perfect. We cannot work our way into heaven. Salvation required a perfect sacrifice and Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
We must know God’s price for sin!
Rom 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Wages mean payment. The payment for sin is death. This is why man dies physically. It is also talking about a spiritual death and an eternal death if we reject Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord. God did not put a period after the word death. He says, “but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
God wants to give you a gift. The gift God wants to give you is eternal life.
A gift is something that, you did not earn, you did not buy, and you did not work for it. A gift is something given you free of charge. If you earned the gift of eternal life, bought the gift of eternal life, or worked for the gift of eternal life, than eternal life would be by works and not by faith.
Our salvation and eternal life is wholly of God and not of man.
If someone put a gift under the Christmas Tree with your name on it and you never opened the gift, the gift would still belong to the giver even though your name was on the gift. It only becomes a gift when you reach out and receive it.
God wants to give you the gift of eternal life and all you have to do is reach out to God and receive the gift of eternal life.
We must know that God has provided for us a way out!
Rom 10:9-10
9 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.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Rom 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Eph 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
The Word of God tells us our way out of condemnation is to ask him for forgiveness for our sins and ask Jesus Christ to be our Saviour and Lord.
Salvation is easy but we make salvation hard. We do not want to surrender our life to Jesus Christ because in doing so we have to give him full control of our life. If we were honest, we do not have any thing under control even though we think that we do.
Salvation is about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
A prayer does not save you but I believe that God uses prayer as a way to solidify in your heart and mind that there was a definite time and day that you trusted Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord.
If you have never trusted Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord would you bow your head and ask Him to save you right now? Dear God, please be merciful to me a sinner. I know I deserve to die and spend eternity in hell. As best as I know how I am asking you to forgive me for my sins and I am asking Jesus Christ to save me. Thank Jesus for saving me.
Please email me and let me know of your decision and write down the date in your Bible the day you got saved. I appreciate your time and count it a high honour for you allowing me the privilege to talk with you about Jesus Christ my Saviour.
Have a SUPER DAY in the LORD!
Smile God loves you!
