” You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to Me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive life.” John 39-40
” For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13
” But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? Romans 10:14
” So, faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.” Romans 10:17
I often wonder why human beings are so stubborn. I know that I have many moments when others think that about me. Our God has given us tools upon tools to have lives on this earth that lead to eternal life in heaven. We have the way to salvation, the way to healing and the way to forgiveness. We have Christ Jesus! However, only a small percentage of the world population know the pathway to Jesus. They have heard of him, and they have read about him, but many do not totally believe. Even some who are staunch church goers, and even some pastors of churches, do not teach or preach the true way to Jesus as Lord and Savior. It seems every denomination and every person have their own interpretation of the salvation message. If we look closely at the bible, and read it literally, with the Holy Spirit leading us, we will see the Scriptures lead to Jesus as Lord. We each have been given the assignment to come to Jesus on our own. Yes, we do have those who help us by introducing his word to us and living lives that show us examples of belief and true faith, but it is up to us to do our own praying, our own studying and to develop our own relationship with the Lord. It is not up to our minister, our neighbor or our best friend to do this for us. I know of many who go to church on Sunday morning and Wednesday evening and that is it. They give themselves no alone time with Jesus and learn nothing more than what others teach them. I am not saying that church is bad and that we should never cast a shadow at the doorstep of our church. I am saying quite the opposite. Our church should be an extension of what we know and what Jesus has taught us. We should now what we are being taught and always compare it to what the bible says. All signs point to Jesus. If this is not what you are being taught, then it is time to run away as fast as you can. The time is short, and God tells us in scripture that there be many false teachers that will teach and preach to tickle the ears of their listeners. They will give you what you want to hear and not what you need to hear. Be aware and be sensitive to the Word of God. Take your faith and belief to the Lord in prayer and praise! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
