LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND TAKE UP THE CROSS AND FOLLOW JESUS!!!
Jesus came
1. To save you
2. To give you eternal life
How can you be saved?
Luke 5:32 Says, I (Jesus) came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Matt 26:28 for this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Eph1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace
Romans 5:8-9 But God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him
1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness if we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Acts 16:30-32 …, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spoke unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house
Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
JESUS SAID:
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 8:12 then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life
John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
John 14:6 Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 15:1-2 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bear fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
How shall I receive eternal life?
Let’s see what Jesus said-
Matt 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why call thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments
John 3:3-8…., ‘Jesus answered and said to him, truly, truly, I say to you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born of water(water baptism-outward) and of the Spirit(holy spirit baptism-inward), he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again. The wind blows where it wants, and you hear the sound thereof, but cannot tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.’
When you are born of Spirit you will no longer do thing according to your own will/desire but according to the will of the spirit of God which resides inside of you.
John 14:16-21 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also. At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Matt 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
Gal 5:16-17 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Rom 8:15 For as many as are LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, they are THE SONS OF GOD.
