THE GIFT OF SALVATION 2

When Jesus paid the price for you, He was your substitute. Heaven has it recorded that you have been set free. It is as you yourself died on the Cross 2,000 years ago. But that doesn’t mean you’ll automatically go to heaven. Even though God sent Jesus to pay for your sins – even though He holds nothing against you – you can still go straight to hell. Why? Because you have not made the choice to receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.

You have free will. You have the right to choose your own destiny; God will not force you to receive salvation. The choice is yours. You can go straight to hell and God will not lift a finger to stop you. He did all He is going to do when He sent Jesus into the world. Your choice is set before you.

If you choose to make Jesus your Lord, God will receive you as His very own child. You will become part of God’s family. He will be your Father and you will be His child. This isn’t a theological idea; this is a fact! Jesus walked on the earth as a man, went to the Cross, died there and was raised from the dead and is alive today seated at the right hand of God.

Confession: Jesus Christ is Lord over my life, my affairs, and all that pertains to me. Having received His gospel, I am an heir of God, therefore, I walk in the blessings of Abraham, I am blessed beyond measures.

Further Reading: John 3:6-7 (ERV) “The only life people get from their human parents is physical. But the new life that the Spirit gives a person is spiritual. Don't be surprised that I told you, 'You must be born again.”

John 6:37 (NIV) “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.”

Read through the Bible: 2 Chronicles 24 & Revelation 11
