You need to accept Jesus and get saved because we are all sinners, which means we have all broken God's commandments. Have you ever lied, stolen or desired to have something that did not belong to you? We all have at least lied a time or two in our lives. The Bible tells us in James 2:10 that if we break one of God's commandments, it is as if we have broken them all. Because we have broken God's commandments we are all in danger of Hell. The greatest thing is that God wants to let you start over, He wants to help you, and He wants to guide you. God wants all His children to accept Him; it’s just up to you to make the decision. But without free will God wouldn’t be able to demonstrate to you how much He loves you. Think about everything you’ve done wrong, how awesome is it that God will wash that clean all in one instance if you allow Him to – all because He loves you so much and will never think about it again- never. We think that’s awesome, don’t you? Jesus is ready to come into your life. He's just waiting for you to ask Him to. But how do you know how to invite Him in, if you don't have any clue what to say? Well, you can let your heart lead you, God will hear you. God Bless You |
| By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name" (Hebrews 13:15). What is this "sacrifice of praise" David wrote, "I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord" (Psalm 116:17 and 107:22). Our offering of praise and thanksgiving to God consumes our time and attention. But God is pleased when we turn from other activities to such a sacrifice. Rev 5:8 mentioned the prayers of saints as incense wafting through the courts of heaven. "Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice" (Ps. 141:2). Acceptable sacrifices are motivated by definite Godlike principles. In Hebrews 13:10-16 we read: "We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do well and communicate forget not: for with sacrifices God is well pleased." The word "altar" refers to the provision which, by God’s grace, has been sanctified by the blood of Christ Jesus. There we may present in sacrifice all that we have and hope for as justified human beings. Thereby we partake of the riches of divine grace given to us in the great hope of becoming joint-heirs with his glorified son. Therefore give thanks in all things. God bless you. |
