A Transcript And Concentrated Expose' On Being Forgiven And Receiving The Lord Jesus Christ

I LOVINGLY CHALLENGE YOU TO READ THIS IN IT'S ENTIRETY AND DO WHAT GOD'S WORD COMMANDS

THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE LOST AND ENCOURAGEMENT FOR BELIEVERS

THE OBJECTIVE

To help someone with scripture that man is a sinner and why a Just and Holy God must punish man’s wickedness. Conversely, I will also explain that in order for man to be forgiven of his sins, he must repent and forsake them. The only way to do this is to believe and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith for salvation. He died on the cross and shed his blood to save men from every tribe, tongue and nation. May this article also be an admonishment to the professing believers as well to examine themselves to make sure they’re in the Faith (II Corinthians 13:5). You may hear some things that will cause you to want to take inventory of your own relationship with the Lord which is a good thing. Any true believer wants to make sure they’re on solid ground with the Lord. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life (All definite articles), no man comes to the Father but by me” (John 14:6).

MAN’S DEPRAVITY AND WHY HE IS DESERVING OF GOD’S WRATH

Holy scripture is clear on man’s corrupt nature and why he deserves to be separated from God’s presence forever. While I realize the title of this portion of the document is strong language, I’ll cite several passages from scripture to prove this point.

In the first book of the Bible, the book of Genesis (which means beginnings or origins), it reads, Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually (Genesis 6:5).

Psalm 7:11 – God judges the righteous and is angry with the wicked everyday.

The Lord through the Prophet Isaiah spoke these words, “Alas, a sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers. Children who are corrupters! They have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked him to anger, The Holy One of Israel, they have turned away backward” (Isaiah 1:4).

Psalm 14:1-3- The fool has said in his heart, there’s no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable or disgusting works. There is none (emphasis added) who does good. The Lord looks down from Heaven upon the children of men to see if there are any who understands, who seek God. They have all turned aside, they have all together become corrupt. There is none who does good; No, not one. These same words are repeated in Psalm 53:1-3, and the Apostle Paul quotes the Old Testament in Romans 3:10-12.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death (Proverbs 14;12). Same words are repeated in Proverbs 16:25.

Jeremiah 17:9 – The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately or incurably wicked, who can know it?

John 3:19,20 reads Jesus speaking, “And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds be exposed.”

John 5:29 says, …”for those who have done evil to the resurrection of damnation.

Now, if these verses do not make it clear as to why man is deserving of God’s wrath, nothing ever will! The common rebuttal that men use is “I’m a good person.” I’m not a thief, murderer or an adulterer.” Well, let’s see then. The scriptures declares in Matthew 5:27 that if a man looks at a woman to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart. There isn’t a man alive on this earth that hasn’t lusted after a woman in his heart. This means we’re all adulterers. What am I saying? We have all broken God’s universal law, the 10 commandments. I mentioned only one. We all know that lawbreakers deserve to be punished right? Just think of a rapist who violates innocent women or a pedophile that preys on children. We hate what they do and there isn’t a person alive that would deny a rapist or pedophile needs to be either locked up for the rest of their lives or be executed for the crimes they’ve committed. Isn’t that true? Guess what? All have sinned and have fallen short of the Glory of God. For all of us have transgressed the law of God, even in our hearts! In the book of James it says, “For whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet stumble in one point, he’s guilty of all (James 2:10). We’ve all broken God’s holy law and therefore are worthy of eternal punishment. We must began to see sin as an affront to God’s holy character. We have to come to a place where we hate our sin and feel truly grieved about it! That will put one on the road to Godly sorrow and repentance.

The point I’m stressing to the reader is simply this, since you continually transgress the law of God, you need to be free from it’s curse. You must be forgiven of your sins, and receive the gift of salvation which comes only through the Lord Jesus Christ who is truth. The grim alternative is to remain in bondage to sin which is the cruelest of all slave masters. Jesus said, “if you continue in my word, then you are my disciples in deed. You shall know the truth and the truth will make you free” (John 8:31-32). So, I must repeat, divine truth produces freedom. Sin produces bondage. It’s ironic when you really ponder the two realities. The true believer uses his freedom to willingly subject his own will to serve the Lord who saved him. It’s a beautiful love affair of obedience and holy servitude (Galatians 2:20). On the other hand, the sinner though he thinks he’s free to do whatever he chooses, is in perpetual bondage to his will. Why? Because his freedom is corrupt; devilish and shackled by sin. The sinner’s freedom is a heavy yoke that’s he’s unable to bear and unwilling to remove because he’s a dead man in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1). The only thing he’s free to do on a wholesale basis is to commit sin for that’s what his evil nature dictates. While the sinner loves his sin, Sin itself hates the sinner! Did you get that? If not read it again, slooooow-ly. Let me put it to you this way, the freedom of the sinner is his worse enemy. His freedom of choice actually incarcerates him for it is the means by which he sins against God. Now be honest, wouldn’t you agree that a person in that terrible of a spiritual, terminal condition needs deliverance? Be reconciled to God today friend! Why would you put it off any longer? You’re in spiritual danger and you don’t even know it! The disease you have is malignant and it’s metastasizing your soul; the disease is sin! Fortunately, there is a cure! It’s repenting your sins and receiving forgiveness through believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. You must come to the light; which is the Word of God to clearly expose your terminal condition. You need to hurry up friend for time is running out quickly!! If you die with the disease of sin in your soul, then you have forfeited the cure, and any hope of life everlasting.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes or scourging, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Healed from what people? The deadly terminal condition known as sin.

And he (Jesus) was saying unto them, “You are from below, and I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. Therefore, I say unto you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins” (John 8:23-24).

WHY WE MUST REPENT

A point I must mention, preaching the Gospel without preaching repentance is not the true gospel at all.

When the Lord Jesus Christ began his earthly ministry he spoke these words, “repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). Also in Mark 1:14, 15 the text reads, Now after John was arrested and put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom of God, and saying, “The appointed time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent (have a change of mind which issues in regret for past sins and in change of conduct for the better) and believe (trust in, rely on, and adhere to) the good news (the Gospel)”- Amplified Version of the Bible.

As mentioned in the previous passages the key word is REPENT!! Which means a change of mind. Regarding what? Your sins. We are to feel sorry for the wicked, heinous acts we’ve committed against a Holy, righteous God.

Now, what does the word sin mean? It’s important we define the term so that we’re aware of how it’s an affront to God’s holiness, and what are the consequences of committing sin.

Sin defined: It’s the Hebrew word/verb Ãbar which means to transgress, to pass over or to cross over. In the Greek it’s the word/verb Hamartanõ which means to miss the mark. To put the two meanings together, when we commit sin, we transgress or go beyond God’s commands and we continually miss the mark of God’s holy and righteous standard. One the simplest and best definitions I’ve heard is Sin is the residence of wickedness living in you. This is the terrible condition that man is currently in unless he repents of his sins and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ for his salvation and the washing away of his sins.

So, now that we know what sin means, lets review some passages from scripture that describes man’s dilemma.

Psalms 66:18 states, “If I regard iniquity or lawnesses in my heart, the Lord will not hear me”.

Isaiah 59:2 said when speaking to the children of Israel, “But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he will not hear you”.

Romans 3:23 says this, “for all have sinned and have come short of the glory of God”.

Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”.

On the Day Of Pentecost, the birth of the Church and the coming and indwelling of the Holy Spirit the Apostle Peter preached after which the scripture says, when they heard this (the Gospel) they were pricked to the heart and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles, “Men and brothers what shall we do? Peter said to them repent and be baptized everyone one of you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:37-38). In Acts 2:41 tells us about three thousand souls were saved. Wonderful! What that means is those souls will never, ever be separated from God again. They inherited eternal life.

With the scriptures we’ve just read, let’s review how sin affects us:

The Lord will not hear us

It causes separation from God, meaning we have no fellowship with him

We continually fall short of the Glory of God. We’re unable and unwilling to do what God commands

Sin will ultimately bring about death

It should prick us in our hearts which will hopefully drive man to repentance

From the sin of Adam up until the present man has become God’s enemy because of his actions. Although God loves his creation, one must understand that God is angry with man (Psalm 7:11). If you haven’t received the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and not allowing him to become Lord of your life, God’s wrath is upon you and he must judge you for your sins for his Holiness’ sake. Is that what you want?

If you answered no, then you must repent my friend. Stop doing your own thing and serving the devil and living a life of sin. I realize that sin is fun and pleasurable and it makes us feel really good, but the end thereof is death. Can you honestly say your life is fulfilled without God? Are you willing to take the chance and deny the truth of the gospel and think you’ll make it to Heaven on your own? I hope you’re not that foolish! I pray the Lord is drawing you to himself even now through this article (John 6:44).

HOW TO AVOID THE WRATH OF GOD AND BE SAVED

In the previous portion of this article we looked at the negative but true consequences of sin. It produces God’s wrath, and his judgment. This reality is dominant in scripture and in time, I hope the reader will take the time to explore this truth further in the Bible. It will cause a person to be more sensitive and acutely aware of God’s hatred of sin and as a child of God, we must learn through progressive sanctification to hate sin as well and love righteousness. This clearly proves one’s life has been transformed; that is we pursue Christ-likeness which pleases God.

Now, what must you do to avoid God’s wrath? This will be the balance of the tract and the meat and potatoes of the article so please, pay close attention. This is a matter of life and death for the reader that does not already have a relationship to Jesus Christ.

John 3:36 reads, He that has the Son (Jesus) has life. He that does not have the Son does not have life, but the wrath of God abides on him.

Romans 10:9,10 – If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

Joel 2:32- Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Same verse is quoted by the Apostle Paul in Romans 10:13.

Matthew 7:13-14- Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter it. For narrow is gate that leads to life and there are few that find it.

Just picture two gates; one wide and one narrow. Both of them read, “Heaven and Eternal Life. Enter Here.” The wide gate is the one that allows many to enter. It’s the gate that accepts any and all belief systems and lifestyles and even a distorted gospel but not the truth. It’s fun and enticing and has little to no demands on the sinner. You determine your own way to God. There’s no evidence of a life that’s transformed. They do not love God because they do not obey him. They have no desire for spiritual things. They’re stony ground. Clouds with no rain; empty. They get to Church late and leave early. They answer their cell phones during worship. They do the same things as before their “profession” in the Lord Jesus. It’s “easy believism” or what some call cheap grace. Some that enter this gate are weekly Church attendees, that believe in and even profess Jesus! They’re religious people. It’s a man centered faith and full of lies. It’s end is destruction. Question, does this describe you? If so, you’re not truly saved. Jesus will say to you. “Depart from me you cursed in everlasting fire. I never knew you!” Think I’m being too direct? I hope so! Your very soul lies in the balance. The scripture commands us to “examine ourselves to see if we’re in the faith. We’re to prove ourselves. Take a personal inventory of your relationship to God. (2 Corinthians 13:5).

The narrow gate is obviously the way to life and peace that Jesus commands us to enter into. It’s difficult because the way is narrow and you must go alone. Some have compared it to going through a turnstile; something we must do alone. The narrow gate involves several things: Acknowledging and confession of sin. Self denial and repentance which I discussed earlier. These things along with believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, is what produces true biblical salvation unlike the Broad Way or wide gate. This salvation comes from God or what the Bible calls being “Born Again” or being born from above (John 3:3).

To amplify this thought, in Luke 13:23-24 the scripture says that one said to Jesus, “Are there few who are saved?” And he said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you will seek to enter and will not be able.”

The word strive in the Greek is the word agōnizomai which literally means to agonize which is the root word. It also means to labor intensively. We don’t agonize or labor intensively to get saved for salvation is a gift (Ephesians 2:8-9). But, there will be some agony in our salvation experience. The way of salvation is constricting along with staying on the narrow path once we enter Salvation’s gateway. We’re going to be constantly striving against our sinful desires and be in conflict with them. In our desire to obey God, we will (and should be) in a tug-of-war between our Spirit and our flesh (Read Romans 7 and Galatians 5:16-17 for a full explanation). It is this process (i.e. progressive sanctification), that will often produce strife and agony in our lives. But be encouraged friend. We will have the final victory.

Now, let’s review on what constitutes genuine salvation:

Hearing and responding positively to the Gospel message

Recognizing you’re a sinner due to breaking God’s holy law and deserving of a Christ-less eternity

Genuine repentance of your sins and confessing them to God

Believing and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior according to 1Corinthians 15:1-4.

If you have just done this in sincerity, then welcome to the Kingdom of God. Now, I must discuss with you who you are in Christ, and what you possess.

WHO YOU ARE NOW THAT YOU’RE IN CHRIST

This portion of the article will discuss your glorious position in Christ and who you were and who are now. This list isn’t exhaustive but it will highlight some of your benefits

You’re all brand new : II Corinthians 5:17-18 – If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed way and behold all things have become new. All things are of God (Emphasis Added). Your salvation is a gift and work of God. You had nothing to with it. Never forget that!

This means God doesn’t look at you the same since you’ve been changed by the power of God. You’re now sons/daughters of the Most High.

You’re a citizen of Heaven: Philippians 3:20- Our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Since we’re new creations, will now have a new address. Since we belong to the Father God through Jesus Christ, we have inherited a glorious new home, Heaven.

You’re a Saint of God: Ephesians 1:1- To the saints who are at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus.

A Saint is simply one who’s been set apart and made holy by God. Sainthood can never be earned. It’s granted to those whom God saves.

You’re victorious: Romans 8:37-39: But in all these things, we’re more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I’m convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, depth, or any other thing will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The apostle Paul says it all. Thanks to the security of God’s everlasting love we can overcome any test, trial or tribulation that comes our way. We have the victory in Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 15:57). Dwell on this reality.

You’re an heir of God: Ephesians 1:11 – also, we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose who works all things after the counsel of his own will.

Romans 8:17 – And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we maybe also glorified together.

I like to put it this way, since you’re now God’s child, he’s included you in his will. Whatever Jesus has, belongs to you too because you’ve believed on the only begotten Son of God.

You’re Chosen: I Peter 2:9-10- But you are a Chosen Race, a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation. A people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. For you were once not a people but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

It pleased the Lord to choose you and place you into his eternal family. In return, you need to share this same glorious truth with those who you know.

We’re Slaves God: Romans 6:20-22- For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. Therefore, what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. But now having been freed from Sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.

The word slave is very negative in our society, in particular amongst black people. However, the term slave in God’s kingdom is more glorious position than the President of the United States or some venerated King in a distant country. Don’t get hung up on the term. Remember, you’re dead to sin, meaning it no longer has dominion over you. You’re now alive to God and a slave of righteousness loving and desiring to perform God’s will which equates to eternal life. Your Master, God almighty is the most loving, tender Task Master of them all.

WHAT YOU MUST DO THAT YOU’RE NOW IN CHRIST

Now that you know who you are in Christ, it’s now time to go to work in loving service to him and your fellow man. Once again, this list isn’t exhaustive, but I’m going to point out a few key things to start you off on your wondrous journey in serving God.

Give thanks always: Ephesians 5:20- Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I Thessalonians 5:18 – In everything give thanks; for this the will of God concerning you.

There are countless things to be thankful for; mainly that you’ve been forgiven of your sins and have received the gift of salvation. For that, we must be eternally grateful. Remember friend, God did not have to save you. We all deserve to go Hell, but God who's rich in mercy saved all those who would believe in his Son.

Commit to a life of prayer: Luke 18:1- Jesus commanded we’re to always pray and not faint.

Jesus commands the Saints to endure in our prayer life and not give up. I Thessalonians 5:17 it tells us to pray without ceasing. As believers, we’re always should be in an attitude and posture to pray. Through prayer we can receive answers to our petitions and be joy filled and receive strength to resist temptation. Prayer is simply talking to God. It requires patience and Faith In God. In time, you’ll know more clearly how to pray; mainly pray God’s word. Always pray for others also.

Study God’s Word: II Timothy 2:15 – Study to show yourself approved unto God; a workman that is not ashamed, rightly dividing or cutting straight the word of truth. Acts 17:11 – Those in Berea were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all readiness of mind and searched the scriptures daily to prove whether these things (What Paul and Silas taught them) were so.

The diligent study and research of God’s word will develop you in your walk with him and you will gain confidence and faith with answers to life’s troubling questions. Recognize when you said yes to Jesus, you have declared war on the kingdom of darkness and there’s no turning back. Just as natural food fuels and energizes the physical body, the Word of God is spirit and life to the spirit man living inside of you (John 6:63). Always read and listen to the word for that produces faith. Without the word of God dwelling in you richly, you’ll be a sitting duck for the enemy, the devil. Your spiritual muscles must develop and the word is your sword and offensive weapon in the spirit (Ephesians 6).

Find a Bible Teaching Church: Hebrews 10:25- Not forsaking our own assembling together as is the habit of some but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the day approaching. Psalm 133:1- Behold, how good and how pleasant is for brothers/sisters to dwell together in unity.

Find a place of worship where God and Jesus Christ are exalted, and the uncompromising word of God is preached. You need to be among people with like precious faith who can love and provoke you unto good works. Remember, you’re new to the things of God and you need guidance and leadership. Don’t take your new life lightly. There are those that genuinely want to help you grow. Hanging around the same people and doing the same things will stunt your growth to the degree that you’ll doubt your salvation entirely. Be aware! Your so called friends can’t save you and they can’t keep you from going to Hell! Be willing to terminate unhealthy relationships for the Excellency that’s in Christ. I can assist you in this pursuit. My email address will be at the end of this article.

Tells others about Jesus: Matthew 28:19 – Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the age. Mark 16:15- Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who believes not, shall be condemned. Luke 24:47- and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all the nations beginning from Jerusalem.

We all have the responsibility to evangelize the lost. The means to reach the lost is the gospel message; the message that Jesus died, was buried and rose again the third day. You don’t have to be a scholar to tell of the goodness of Jesus. Simply explain to the one you’re speaking to what they must do to be saved; that is to repent of their sins, confess them, and turn to Jesus for their salvation, and he’ll save them. I went over this in detail earlier. Do not alter the message. Present it with boldness, confidence, tenderness and love. Do this with someone that’s more seasoned in the Word of God than you are; a mature Christian. Never present the gospel apologetically. Remember, you have something everyone needs, whether they realize or not. You’re presenting the Good News of Salvation through Jesus, the only way for one to be forgiven of their sins.

Some will appreciate your willingness to share with them the good news. Will others get angry with you? Yes. Will they talk about you, ridicule and perhaps threaten you? Count on it! If they crucified Jesus what makes you think you can’t suffer persecution for his sake. We should be honored to suffer humiliation for the one that died so freely for us. Trust the Lord through all of this, he’ll see you through.

The Apostle Paul penned these powerful words regarding the saints at Philippi, “For I am confident that he that began a good work in you will perfect or complete it until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6)

God saved you so that you can you began and finish the work he predestined for you to do. By faith, you will do just that and your life will glorify God for all to see (Matthew 5:16).

Be forgiving: Mark 11:25-26- Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in Heaven will also forgive your transgressions. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in Heaven forgive your transgressions. Ephesians 4:32- Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

You have no right to withhold forgiveness from anyone that has wronged you, no matter the situation. This is never easy because naturally we want revenge on the person that hurt us. However, since we’re in Christ and striving to be more like him, we have to do what he did. Even while dying on the cross in agony, Jesus said regarding his enemies, “Forgive them Father, for they know not what they are doing” (Luke 23:34).Even in Jesus’ darkest hour it shows his love and compassion for evil, unforgiving man. Be glad Romans 5:8 says, But God commended his love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Even in our sin state and our chronic wickedness. God is nothing like us. We need to become more like him. We’re most like Jesus when we exhibit love and forgive one another.

Fight against temptation: Psalm 119:11 –Your word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Colossians 3:16- Let the word of God dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

The only defense we have to combat the sin in our lives is God’s word which one must immerse themselves into. While we’re redeemed within, we’re still corrupt without; that is our flesh hasn’t been changed yet (Read I Corinthians 15:51-58; I Thessalonians 4:13-18). We’re in a since a hybrid in that we war within ourselves because of the flesh and Spirit battle. Remember, the word of God contains power to ward off sin so we can serve God. A life controlled by sin will be unfit for the Kingdom of God. You must pursue holiness. Here’s the escape clause, “If we confess our sins, he is just and faithful to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (I John 1:9).

IN CONCLUSION

I have taken you on a journey that you’ve never experienced before. We started with the depravity of man, lost and hell bound to a man through the gospel message recognized his sin, repented, confessed them with contrition, was forgiven by God, saved and filled with the Holy Ghost; a miraculous transformation that only God can produce. While there is so much more to cover, the reader is encouraged and charged to read the Holy Scriptures to receive the whole counsel of God’s word.

Therefore putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander like newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word that you may grow in respect to salvation if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord (I Peter 2:1-2).

Closing prayer: Lord, thank you for allowing me this platform to share with someone the good news of salvation. You declared in your word that we’re not to be ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation. You also declared that if we confess you before men, then you will confess us before the Father and the holy angels. May the reader(s) of this article do all that is contained there in so that they can pass from death to life. May they begin to live a life of faith that pleases you.

In Jesus name,

AMEN!!
