DON’T LIVE YOUR LIFE WITHOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
John 3:3
Main Text: Ephesians 4:17-18

Decide today to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour, get born again and your life will change forever. The decision to accept Jesus as Lord will be life-altering in so many ways. Don’t live another day without Him. Believe in your heart that He paid for your forgiveness and Confessing Him as Lord is your way to salvation. It is as simple as that. Eternal life is waiting for you once you are born again and proclaim Lord His Lordship . You will become one with the Lord; The word for “sin” in Latin is peccatum, which means “crime, fault or guilty action.” In Greek, the language of the New Testament, the word used for “sin” is hamartia, which means “failing to reach the goal,” “missing the mark,” and which was used especially for the warrior who missed the target with his spear. Finally, in Hebrew the common word for “sin” is jattá’th, which means “to err” in the sense of not hitting the center of the target or reaching the exact goal or objective.
A life without Christ is one missing God’s mark but one with Christ is a life, lived by faith in Him and His finished work. 
Choose you this day where you want to spend eternity: in heaven or in hell? Following Jesus today will be the best decision you will ever make. Our Lord Jesus once said: Luke 9:25 KJVS - [25] For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
Jesus becomes our pattern for living this life as declared by Apostle Paul:Galatians 2:20 KJVS - [20] I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
 Therefore, your new life should be lived that way too. Set you affections on things above not on things on the earth. This you do by being a doer of His word. So that you will make certain and not sabotage your new life in Christ.
Our Lord, lived a victorious and sinless life in His earth walk. He did it as a man, depending on the strength of the Holy Spirit. You too can!
Take Jesus out of the picture and there would be no reliable pattern to follow.
Allow Him to be your model today and resolve to follow Him. He has promised to be with you and show you by His Spirit how to conduct your new life!
Submit to Him today if you have already. If you have, recommit to Him today to live as He did.

Prayer 
Lord Jesus, I choose you every day of my life, help me to live according to your Word and precept. Amen.
