What has happened to you? You have accepted Jesus Christ! I celebrate with you. I thank God for your decision.
Christ is the source, the one and only, through whom we can be saved and assured of eternal life in heaven. Abundant scriptures make this clear. Here are a couple of examples from Acts.
Ac 2:21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
Ac 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
(The book of Acts is the second of two volumes written by Luke, a physician who was a companion of the Apostle Paul during his missionary journeys. Estimates state it was written at approximately 64 AD. Acts proclaims the continued impact on men and women by the Word of God through the church. It gives us excellent insight into the early history, events and functions of the 1st century church.)
The simplicity of receiving salvation is beautiful. Where and when a person can receive this blessing of eternal life is not limited by any specific time or place. For some it occurs in a church, but for many others it happens in any location where we have the opportunity to be confronted with the Truth of Christ and our personal need for Him in our lives.
It will only happen when your heart is open and you are ready.
Next time we will review those simple steps – the process by which we receive the gift of grace and forgiveness from God. It is a gift, but as with any gift, it must be received in order to provide its blessing.
The next posting is planned for Friday, October 30, 2009.
Have a blessed day,
