March 7 “Get Saved NOW!” 2 Corinthians 6:2
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “For He says: ‘In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.’ Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6:2)
Over the past few months, I have participated, in their services and witnessed the deaths of so many people! Two of these folks had lived difficult and challenging lives, and I was asked if one of the young men had been saved! I was so glad to report that he was saved and that he was doing so much better in his living! Their ages ranged from 91 years old, to 26 years old, and death came to each of them. Some were expected, and others were sudden, and without warning! The message today is simple and clear! You do not know when death will knock on your door, so you need to be ready! You need to make a choice where you will spend eternity! FACT: Every one of us will live for eternity! The question is, WHERE WILL WE SPEND ETERNITY! Claiming the Saving and Forgiving Grace of Jesus Christ ensures your “Forever” in Heaven! Rejecting Him and Refusing to recognize His Selfless Act of Grace and Forgiveness on the Cross, you have made the decision to spend eternity in torment and pain and, ultimately, the fires of a burning Hot HELL! John 3:16 tells us that, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” 2 Peter 3:9 speaks of the intentions of our God! “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” NOW IS THE TIME TO REPENT and COME TO JESUS! It is very simple: The ABC’s of SALVATION!
A – Admit: Admit what you have done wrong and ask forgiveness. Romans 3:23 “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 6:23 “The wages of sin is death.”
I John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
B – Believe: Believe that Jesus died on the cross and rose again as a payment for your sins. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.”
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
C - Confess and Choose: Confess and choose to allow God to the be in charge of your life! Matthew 16:24 “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Romans 10:9 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:13 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Source - 2021 ABCJesusLovesMe) It is that simple!
