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.

"WHAT DOES SALVATION MEAN TO YOU?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
WHAT DOES SALVATION MEAN TO YOU?
A LOT OF CHRISTIANS HAVE THE WRONG IDEA ABOUT SALVATION. THEY BELIEVE THAT IT IS JUST THE WAY TO ESCAPE HELL. I THINK PEOPLE THAT ARE BORN AGAIN WITH THIS KIND OF SALVATION LOOK AT JESUS AS THE ONE WHO WILL DELIVER THEM, BUT NOT THE ONE WITH WHOM THEY CAN HAVE AN INTIMATE, PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP. SALVATION IS THE ONLY WAY OF GETTING INTO A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. WE LOST THE CLOSENESS WHEN ADAM SINNED. SIN SEPARATED US FROM GOD BUT THROUGH JESUS, THOSE SINS WERE TAKEN AWAY AND NOW WE CAN GO TO GOD DIRECTLY. IT SAYS IN 1ST CORINTHIANS 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
WE WERE BORN INTO A SINFUL WORLD. NO ONE HAD TO TEACH US TO SIN. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO TEACH YOUR SMALL CHILD TO STEAL A TOY OR TO TELL A LIE. THE BIBLE SAYS IN ROMANS 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
MOST NON-CHRISTIANS ARE FED UP WITH RELIGION AND I AM AFRAID IT IS THE CHURCH THAT HAS CAUSED IT. NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF THE BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS CAN BE DOING WHAT THEY SHOULD BUT YOU TAKE THAT ONE PERCENT THAT THAT SAY THEY ARE CHRISTIANS ARE OUT DOING THEIR OWN THING AND THAT GIVES THE REST OF US A BAD NAME. THE NON-BELIEVERS USE THIS AS AN EXCUSE. "WELL, IF THAT IS THE WAY CHRISTIANS LIVE, I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF IT". HAVE YOU EVER HEARD SOMETHING ON THAT ORDER BEFORE? I HAVE AND IF ALL CHRISTIANS WERE LIKE THAT, I WOULDN'T WANT ANY PART OF IT EITHER.
WHAT THESE PEOPLE NEED IS TO HEAR ABOUT THE LOVE THAT JESUS HAS FOR THEM. THEY HAVE AN EMPTY PLACE INSIDE OF THEM AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO FILL IT. THEY NEED JESUS TO FILL IT FOR THEM BUT HOW ARE THEY GOING TO KNOW UNLESS ONE OF US TELLS THEM. WE HAVE SUCH A BIG JOB TO DO AND I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THAT MUCH TIME IN WHICH TO DO IT. MATTHEW 9:37 SAYS "Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;" I AM READY TO STEP UP AND DO MY SHARE, HOW ABOUT YOU?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
