~*~Jesus Saves~*~

Welcome to my page about Salvation. I thank God for giving me the opportunity and knowledge to make this page. I pray he opens your heart to hear his words.

James 4: 14 ~ Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrows. For what is your life?
It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time,
and then vanisheth away.

Thank you Lord for all you have blest me with. You have made my life great, dear Lord. I pray I can walk in your light, and that you guide me down my path. I thank You for sending your one and only Son to die for me, dear Lord. I thank you for showing me the way I am to go, and I ask your will be done in my life! Through Jesus name, Amen.

I would like to share one of my favorite poems (Second to "Footprints").

"A Creed for Those Who Have Suffered"

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
I was made weak, that I might learn to humbly obey.

I asked for health, that I might do great things.
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.

I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness, that I may feel the need of God.

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing I asked for, but everything I hoped for.
Almost despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among men, most richly blest.

~ Roy Campanella

Many ask why God allows things to happen. A person is murdered; it is blamed on God. A hurricane hits, it is blamed on God. God is blamed for the path your life has taken. So let me ask this... Why is it blamed on God, and not on the Devil, or on ourselves?

(Mark 7: 21-23 ~ For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thought, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.)

One of God's greatest gifts was that of "Free Will." Free Will is what allows things to happen, as they do, not God. He promised to allow us to live our lives as we choose to. If we choose to walk by his side, we have the promise of eternal life.

(Romans 6:23 ~ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.)

If not, we have the promise of condemnation, and a fiery pit.

(Revelation 21:8 ~ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.)

God doesn't *WANT* anyone to be condemned.
(John 3: 17 ~ For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.)
Free Will allows us to choose. God doesn't *MAKE* us choose. We are *NOT* his puppets.

Excuses?

There are too Many Hypocrites in the Church!

Matthew 7:1 ~ Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Luke 17:36 ~ Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Romans 2:1 ~ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

The Christian life is hard!

Matthew 11:30 ~ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Isaiah 41:10 ~ Fear thou not, for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

I may lose my job!

Mark 8:36 ~ For what shall profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, but lose his own soul?

Matthew 6:33 ~ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and these things shall be added unto you.

Philippians 4:19 ~ But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

I don't want to lose my friends!

Proverbs 13:20 ~ He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

Psalm 1:1 ~ Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

There is too much to give up!

Isaiah 57:20-21 ~ But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

Psalm 34:10 ~ The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seeketh the LORD shall not want any good thing.

What can I do to receive God as my Savior?

I am glad you asked!
We are all sinners:

Romans 3:23 ~ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
You must repent!

Acts 17:30 ~ And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but not commandeth all men everywhere to repent.
You must Receive!

John 1:12 ~ But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believeth on his name.
You must Believe!

John 3:36 ~ He that believeth on the son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
You must Confess!

Romans 10:9 ~ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Call on his name!

Romans 10:13 ~ For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Where you are, get on your knees, and say "The Sinner's Prayer." Here is a guide:

Lord, God, I know I am a lowly sinner. I do not deserve the love You have for me. I ask that You forgive me of my sins. I ask that You wash me white as snow, dear Lord. I want to receive Your Spirit into my life. I believe in Jesus Christ, your Son. I believe you sent Him to die on a cross for me. I believe He was raised from the dead on the third day. I call upon Your name, Lord, to come into my life and change it. I want Your will to be done! Thank You Lord, for giving me this chance to come to You, and giving me that choice. I pray You guide me along the upcoming path, Lord, and teach me what I need to know to live in Your love. Thank You Lord, for hearing my prayer. Through Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.

Now, go out and get a Bible, find a Church, some good Christian friends and Confess his love for you. Tell what God has done for you!

Mark 5:19 ~ Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell the how the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

Study God's word, and learn what he wants for you.

2 Timothy 2:15 ~ Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

I hope this page has been a blessing to you. If you have just recieved God as your Savior, please E-me and let me know. We can be Christian friends, and hopefully we can help each other along the way to living a Christian life.

God Bless each and every one of you!
