Proclaiming Jesus Christ to the World

"The Question"

 

 

The question, "Have you been born again?" is life's most important consideration.

Jesus answered and said unto him, "Truly, truly, I say unto you, unless a man is born again (or born from above), he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).

But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.  Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His (Romans 8:9).

Every person who believes on the name of Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, has eternal life.

And this is eternal life, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the One whom You sent (John 17:3).

For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved (John 3:16-17).

Do you believe in your heart that Jesus is God and although He once was dead, that He now lives?  If your answer is "Yes" then you are ready to ask Him to be your personal Lord and Savior!

But what does the Word say?  The word is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we proclaim.  That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.  For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed.  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.  For whosover shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:8-13).

But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (John 1:12-13).

If you understand what these verses are saying to you, you can pray right now to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior.  Simply pray this prayer honestly from your heart to the Lord:

Dear God, I know that I am a sinner.  I am truly sorry that I have sinned against you.  I believe that You died on the cross for my sin of unbelief.  Please forgive me and come into my life and take control so I may live for You.  Amen.
