This is a simple but profound question I ask of you today. Are you saved or are you about to be saved? Jesus died on the cross so you would be able to live in heaven for eternity. Eternity goes on forever and has no end. Would you like to live in heaven or hell for eternity? I choose to live in heaven. How did I get there? Simple, through what Jesus did on the cross when He took the beatings and died for you and I so we can live with Him forever. Not only did He take on the sins of the world as He hung on that cross, He died too. That is not the end of this glorious story though, He rose from the dead three days later and He lives this very day. You see, you cannot pay any amount of money or do any type of work on our own to get to heaven for it has already been done for you through the work of Jesus. It is a gift that is freely given to you so you will be with Him for eternity and not in hell.
You may be wondering how can I get this gift. It is simple you just have to have a heart that is willing to invite Jesus into your heart and life and ask Him to forgive your sins. The best part of this is that He will. He did it for me and he has done it for countless others throughout the ages and He will continue to do it in the days ahead of us also. Isn't that great news, aren't you glad you chose to view this blog today? Please know it is not on my own power that I got up and wrote this today, it was through the prompting of Holy Spirit. Yes, He already knew that you would read this blog and today is the day that you were searching and asking questions and the answer is right before you, it is Jesus.
With a heart that is willing to receive this gift from Jesus and ask to cleanse you of your sins, that is all you have to do today. You know the bible states that we are not promised tomorrow but today is the day of salvation. What does that mean? It simply means that if you feel a tugging at your heart today as you read this then do not let the day pass by without doing something about it. You may be here today and things are fine in your life but you do not know what tomorrow brings to your life. What if you get up tomorrow and go about your day and you come into the path of a reckless driver that strikes your car and you die instantly. You cannot rely on the tomorrows for something you can take control of today. Just a simple but profound thought to think about.
If you are ready to pray to Jesus then lets do it now OK. Repeat this prayer after me: "Father, in the name of Jesus I ask You Jesus to cleanse all my sins. You died on the cross and took all the beatings too to take the sin away from my life. I admit and I confess to you today that I am a sinner and please forgive those sins. Thank you Jesus for cleansing me and my heart of those sins. They are freely given to you today and I ask You to forgive them and as far as the east is to the west my sins are now forgiven and forgotten by You. Not only did You die on the cross just for me but you gloriously rose from the dead three days later. I am asking a very much so alive Jesus to come into my heart and direct my life path. I always knew I had certain talents or gifts but I just never know exactly how to use these gifts/talents. Please teach me how to use them and what direction You would like my life to take. I want to do what I was born to do with my life. I do not want to miss anything you created me to do with my life. You know me better than anyone else in my life for You created me. I thank you for dying just for me and snatching me from the jaws of hell for all eternity. Thank you for allowing me to stumble upon this writing this very day and time in my life. I give You my life and I trust You and thank you for loving me so much that You died just for me. Amen."
Congratulations!!! The moment you said that prayer did you know all the angels in heaven rejoiced? Isn't that amazing? Imagine the beautiful sound in heaven with the angels rejoicing over you committing your heart and life to Jesus this very day. Also, your name is now recorded into The Lamb's Book of Life. When your time is up here on earth your name is recorded in the book, it is recorded that you can enter into heaven. The bible states that to be absent from the body is to be present with Christ. That means that on the last day here on earth and you take your last breath you will then be present with Christ in heaven.
Let me share this tidbit with you today OK. I have been reading the bible from cover to cover and today I was in 1 Chronicles 4. The book of Chronicles lists the descendants of those in the bible. Tucked in the listing of the descendants is Jabez. He must have been special to God for this is what it states,: "Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother named him Jabez (Painful), because she said that his birth was painful. Jabez prayed to the God of Israel, "Please bless me and give me more territory. May your power be with me and free me from evil so that I will not be in pain." God gave him what he prayed for."
That is my prayer for you today.
