The Answer: That Jesus is everything.
Jesus is everything to everyone who believes. He is your strength, he is your physician, he is your salvation, he is your King, he is your savior, he is your friend, he is your deliverer, he is your counselor, he is LOVE. Jesus is the life changing , power giving, conqueror of Satan, world creator, Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the end, the first and the last authority over everything Son of God. What you need to know is that he is real, he is the truth, he is the way to eternal life.
Who is Jesus?
Who is Jesus? Did you notice the question is in present tense? Why, because Jesus is living, he is not dead and is present today. Jesus “IS” Christ our Lord, the creator and eternal Son of God, who was sinless, who loved us so much that he took the punishment that we deserve for our sin by dying on the cross, was buried, and rose from the dead. He is the Savior for all who believe through faith.
We have all sinned and deserve God’s Judgment. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” – Romans 6:23
Sin has cost mankind their relationship with God separating us from him. God’s judgement for sin is eternal damnation through spiritual death. Jesus came, so that we can live forever in heaven in blessing instead of the punishment and curse of hell. Jesus came to deliver us from the evil in the world and give us intimacy and a personal relationship with God our Father right now.
But, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe that in him should not perish but have everlasting life”. – John 3:16
The Gospel is God’s free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. The “Good News” is that all you have to do is believe and receive the gift. You can not earn God’s forgiveness in your actions. The gift of forgiveness of your sins and eternal life with God is given by Grace. You are a three part being, you have a spirit, soul and body. Do not confuse the soul with your spirit. The spirit is the innermost part of you; the soul is the mental, emotional part that includes your mind, will, emotions, and conscience; then you have your physical body.
“The thief [Satan] comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly”– John 10:10.
Do not be mislead by Satan. There are many misconception regarding what happens to a person when they die. The truth in God’s word is that everyone will live forever the difference in the afterlife is a believers spirit and soul will return to God for eternal life and the non believers spirit and soul will be cast to spend forever in hell. Satan is working hard to fill hell with as many spirits as he can. He wants your spirit and soul and he will do anything to get it. Right now what you need to know is that Jesus defeated Satan, totally humiliated and animated him. Satan has already lost the battle, but he is going to take as many as he can with him.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and not from yourselves, it is a gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
There are not many things in this life that are free. The gift from our God, the creator of the heavens and earth, the all powerful, the all mighty father in heaven bestows the GREATEST GIFT that can be given and many will not accept it. This is FREE! Paid for by the blood sacrifice crucifixion of Jesus Christ. YOU CAN NOT SAVE YOURSELF.
“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:17.
You only need to believe in your heart and your mind and confess with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord and Savior. Let the Holy Ghost/Spirit show you the truth in Jesus Christ.
You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.
To make Jesus the LORD of Your Life
Ask yourself do you know where you stand with God.
You are separate from God through sin if you have not made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life. God gave his only begotten son to be crucified on the cross for you. [John 3:16]
“ For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
Sin was the reason Jesus came to earth, Sin was the reason Jesus was sent to the cross and died, Sin was the reason he went to hell and paid the price once for all for everyone. After Jesus paid the price for the sin of the world he was raised from dead, defeating Satan and rendering him powerless. Jesus paid the debt so that you would not have to. The righteousness of Jesus is becomes the righteousness of all who believe.“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face he was despised, and we did not esteem Him (we did not care). Surely, he took up our paid and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pieced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:3-5
Choose to accept what he did for you and receive Him as your personal Savior; and Lord. Repent of your sin and pray this prayer. Once you take Jesus as Lord and Savior and confess with your mouth, the power of God will make you a new creation in Christ Jesus.
Pray: “. Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus, I present myself to You. I pray and ask Jesus to be Lord overly my life. I believe it in my heart, I confess with my mouth that Jesus died and buried for the forgiveness of my sins and he has been raised from the dead. I make him the Lord over my life. Jesus, come into my heart. I believe this moment that I am saved by grace not works. I am reborn, I am a Christian, and I am a child of the Almighty God.”
