About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
WHO IS SAVED? BEING AS GOOD AS YOU CAN BE AND GOING TO CHURCH EVERY TIME THE DOORS ARE OPEN WILL NOT DO IT. JUST BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS WERE CHRISTIANS AND EVEN MADE YOU GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL EVERY SUNDAY (LIKE MINE DID) WILL NOT DO IT.
EVEN THAT SWEET LITTLE OLD GRANDMOTHER WHO NEVER HURT ANYONE IN HER WHOLE LIFE IS LOST IF SHE HAS NOT RECEIVED JESUS AS HER SAVIOR. BEING BORN AGAIN IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE SAVED. JESUS, HIMSELF, SAID THAT MANY WILL SEEK TO ENTER SALVATION AND WON'T BE ABLE TO. THERE ARE MANY REASONS FOR THIS BUT NOT BECAUSE GOD REFUSES SALVATION TO ANYONE.
TIMOTHY 2:11 SAYS "THE GRACE OF GOD THAT BRINGS SALVATION HAS APPEARED TO ALL MEN......" AND 2ND PETER 3:9 SAYS "GOD IS NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE". THERE IS AN EFFORT INVOLVED IN GETTING SAVED BUT IT IS NOT TO EARN IT BECAUSE SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT (ROMANS 5:15).
THE EFFORT IS TO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH (1ST TIMOTHY 6:12). FAITH IN JESUS IS WHAT SAVES US AND SATAN IS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR FAITH. RECEIVING SALVATION IS NOT RECEIVING IT IN OUR MIND BUT RECEIVING IT WITH OUR HEART AND BELIEVING THAT JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, WAS BURIED AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD. IT IS THE BEST GIFT YOU WILL EVER GET AND IT KEEPS ON GIVING FOR ETERNITY.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
