Be Sure
Day 1: Be Sure
How can you be sure that you have accepted Christ? A true Christian
is someone who believes in God and has asked Jesus Christ, the Son of
God, to be their Lord and Savior. God sent His Son Jesus Christ into the
world to die for our sins. All of us have done, said or thought things
that are wrong. These are called sins and we deserve to be punished for
them. The good news is God sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross
for our sins.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16
When you sincerely ask Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior and to
forgive your sins, you are accepting Christ as your savior. The Bible
says “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become
children of God, even to those who believe on His name.” So when you
accept Christ as your Savior, you become a child of God. Your sins are
forgiven and God says you have the gift of eternal life in heaven. You
can thank God every day for His wonderful gift of new life in Jesus
Christ.
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who 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
You are not a Christian because you are perfect, because in this life
we unfortunately will not be perfect. You are not a Christian because
you go to church, although you should definitely go to church if you
can. But you are a Christian because you have sincerely asked Jesus
Christ to be your Lord and Savior and have asked forgiveness for your
sins. God loves you and wants you to be His child now and forever.
"This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." John 17:3

One Man's Death - Every Man's Guarantee
One Man's Death - Every Man's Guarantee
We all keep hoping for peace. World War I was "the war to end all
wars." Then we found ourselves in the midst of World War II--again
sending out sons, husbands, and fathers who may not return.
The wars kept coming. Korea. Vietnam. Iraq. Each one pouring out
death and destruction to an extent the world hadn’t witnessed
previously. If only military victory carried a lifetime guarantee of no
more death, no more failure, no more fear. Or better yet, an eternal
guarantee.
But only one man’s death carries that guarantee.
No human effort to build a better world can guarantee lasting peace
in the Persian Gulf, or Somalia, or anywhere else for that matter. The
freedom that costs the blood of our precious young men and women isn’t
permanent. It lasts only until another aggressive power comes along,
unjustly claiming supremacy over others. Then the bloodshed starts all
over again.
Hope for a "new world" must rest in God, not man. Death is man’s
legacy; life is God’s. The Lord Jesus Christ said, "I am the
resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though
he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die" (John
11:25-26).
Good Friday, when we remember the cruel death of Jesus Christ on the
cross, is a day that man made because of sin. But Resurrection Sunday is
God’s Day. He made it. Only the power of God could have raised Jesus
Christ from the dead. Man’s deepest yearnings for life, power, and hope
find fulfillment in the meaning of Easter.
Life
Resurrection speaks of life. Jesus Christ is alive today! Here in the
northern hemisphere, Resurrection Sunday comes in the spring. After a
long, cold winter, nature comes alive. In the spring, one is prompted to
think of resurrection. It’s a new beginning.
Death is our enemy. But life is ours in Jesus Christ. Death
brings fear. The Resurrection gives peace. Thoughts about death often
lead to depression. The reality of the Resurrection leads to hope. Death
speaks of separation, but the Resurrection speaks of a life that is
indestructible, in union forever with the risen Jesus Christ.
The Bible says, "When you were dead in your sins...God made you alive
with Christ. He forgave us all our sins" (Colossians 2:13). We are
alive to God because the risen life of Christ is our life. All of us who
have Jesus Christ in our hearts know that He’s alive. That’s why we
love to sing, "You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my
heart." The Lord affirmed, "I have come that they may have life, and
have it to the full" (John 10:10). That speaks of His life in us!
When Jesus came out of the grave, having finished the work on the
cross, having shed His blood, having taken the punishment for our sins
on His own body, He was able to give us life, because He was alive,
risen from the dead.
Do you have this life? Have you experienced what it is to come alive in Jesus Christ? Have you experienced what the Bible calls a "new birth"?
To be born again means that Jesus Christ actually comes into your
life. Instead of being dead to God, dead to the things of God, not
understanding what God is like, you come alive. You become a new person
who can understand the things of God.
The Resurrection speaks of life; not only the life of Christ, alive
from the tomb, but also an abundant inner life for us, here and now,
daily.
Jesus Christ also opened a way into heaven. We no longer have
to fear death, because we are united with Christ. A Christian has been
resurrected with Jesus Christ. Christ’s victory is our victory both now
and in the future. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus Christ
destroyed him "who holds the power of death-that is, the devil" (Hebrews
2:14).
Power
Resurrection also speaks of power. Before the Lord was raised
from the dead, the apostles were quite a miserable lot. What was wrong?
What was it that they lacked? They lacked power!
Until the Lord Jesus was resurrected, was raised up into heaven and
the Holy Spirit came down on the Day of Pentecost, the apostles were
still afraid and in hiding.
But on the Day of Pentecost, Peter, who had earlier been afraid of
the accusations of a servant girl, stood up in front of several thousand
people and said, very boldly, "Repent and be baptized, every one of
you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And
you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38). What brought
on this boldness?
Peter now was filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit! He had
the risen life of Jesus Christ in him. The power that brought Christ out
of the grave is for us now. God’s power is not something that we work
up ourselves. It comes only from the indwelling Holy Spirit.
If you lack power in your life, power to overcome temptation, power
to witness for Jesus Christ, then you need to allow God’s Spirit to fill
you. You need to acknowledge His life in you and let Him live through
you.
The life of Christ dwells in every one who by faith receives Him.
Your life can be filled with the power of the living Lord Jesus Christ.
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power,
and love and of self-discipline" (2 Timothy 1:7).
Hope
Hope? Yes, resurrection also speaks of a secure hope. My father’s
body is buried in a little cemetery in Argentina. But my father has been
with Jesus Christ all these 48 years since his physical death. One day
his body is going to be resurrected, just as the body of Jesus was
resurrected.
For those who know the Lord Jesus, that fact is very real. The Lord is coming back!
The Bible says that one of these days, we shall be changed "in a flash,
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will
sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed" (1
Corinthians 15:52). What a marvelous reality!
When my father died, we sang a hymn at his funeral:
Face to face, O blissful moment.
Face to face, to see and know.
Face to face with my Redeemer,
Jesus Christ who loved me so.
Face to face I shall behold Him,
Far beyond the starry sky.
Face to face in all His glory,
I shall see Him by and by.
This is the hope that the Resurrection gives you. We know we shall
see the Lord Jesus face to face in all His glory. Do you have that hope?
Do you have that assurance? Do you know for sure that you’ll see Him?
If the resurrected Christ does not live in your heart and you die today, what hope would you have?
There is no "reincarnation," no "second chance." But if Christ lives in
you, then there is the secure hope of eternal life with the Lord Jesus,
forever. "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish," He
has said (John 10:28).
A minister’s son, 28 years old, married with two children, had
cancer. Each of the several specialists who examined him said the cancer
would take his life. I was the guest speaker at the minister’s church
on the Sunday that his son died, early that morning. This pastor, who
had suffered so much for two years seeing his son slowly dying, was at
perfect peace. He described the last few hours he spent with him. His
son had said, "Dad, tonight I’m going to be with Jesus."
"Aren’t you lucky to get there before me, David," his father said.
"To think that tonight you will actually see Moses in person, and Peter,
Paul, and John the Baptist!"
Then his father said, "But son, best of all, you’re going to see the
Lord Jesus. And when you see Him, David, will you tell him that your
father loves Him very much?"
The reason this man had such tremendous peace when I spoke with him a
few hours after his son’s death was because his son was with the Lord
Jesus. That’s what knowing Jesus Christ will do for you.
If the Lord Jesus returned today, would He welcome you into His presence? Have you opened your life to Jesus Christ?
You can receive the Lord Jesus by a simple prayer of faith. Believe
in Him, invite Him into your heart, and become a child of God. Make sure
that you will be part of that resurrection day when the Lord Jesus
comes back for His own.
Make this prayer your own, quietly now, as you finish this article:
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You that because of Easter, You’ve made it
possible for me to have a new beginning. Thank You for Your death on
the cross, paying the penalty for my sins. Thank You for Your
resurrection three days later. You’re alive and now You offer me new
life, power and hope here and now and for all eternity. Please forgive
my sins and make me part of Your family. I gladly receive You and put my
trust in You. Amen.

Should You Feel Different After Accepting Christ?
Should You Feel Different After Accepting Christ?
Scripture:
“He has identified us as his own by placing the Holy spirit in our
hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he has
promised us.” 2 Corinthians 1:22
When you accept Jesus, should
you FEEL different? Some people have a big, emotional event while others
might grow in faith gradually. Emotions can be misleading, so let’s see
what the Bible says happens after you accept Jesus.
God Promises Us Eternal Life
“So
God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are
unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie...” Hebrews 6:18
God’s promise is that whoever
believes in Jesus has eternal life and is a child of God. (John 3:16,
John 1:12) God doesn’t lie, so we can trust his promises. Have you made the decision to accept Jesus as your Savior?
If you have, then God has sent His Holy Spirit to live in you. This is
based on God’s promise, not the way you feel after you accept Christ.
The Holy Spirit Guarantees We Belong to Christ
Jesus promised he would send you an “Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth...and will be in you.” (John 14:16-17)
But what does the Holy Spirit mean to you? The Holy Spirit is your
guarantee, or seal, that your hope in Jesus is secure. The Bible says, “When
you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy
Spirit who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance...” (Ephesians
1:13-14) When you place your faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit
comes to live inside of you. It’s the Holy Spirit that guarantees you
belong to God, not a feeling!
God Makes Us New
After you accept Christ, you may not feel different, but the Bible says God makes us a brand new person! “...anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Then, the Holy Spirit helps you understand God’s word and gives you
power to live more like Jesus. If you have accepted Christ, let God do
His work in you! “I am
confident that God, who began the good work within you, will continue
his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus
returns.” (Philippians 1:6)

The Word of God Has The Power To Transform Your Life. "All the believers were one in heart and mind." Acts 4:32
John 1
The Deity of Jesus Christ
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
The Witness John
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. 9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
The Word Made Flesh
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'" 16 For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. 17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.
The Testimony of John
19 This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" 20 And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ." 21 They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he *said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No." 22 Then they said to him, "Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?" 23 He said, "I am A VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, 'MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY OF THE LORD,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
24 Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?" 26 John answered them saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know. 27 "It is He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie." 28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30 "This is He on behalf of whom I said, 'After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.' 31 "I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in water." 32 John testified saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. 33 "I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' 34 "I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."
Jesus' Public Ministry, First Converts
35 Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and *said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!" 37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 And Jesus turned and saw them following, and *said to them, “"What do you seek?"” They said to Him, "Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?" 39 He *said to them, “"Come, and you will see."” So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for it was about the tenth hour. 40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He *found first his own brother Simon and *said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which translated means Christ). 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “"You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas"” (which is translated Peter).
43 The next day He purposed to go into Galilee, and He *found Philip. And Jesus *said to him, “"Follow Me."” 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip *found Nathanael and *said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." 46 Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip *said to him, "Come and see." 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and *said of him, “"Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!"” 48 Nathanael *said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, “"Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."” 49 Nathanael answered Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel." 50 Jesus answered and said to him, “"Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these."” 51 And He *said to him, “"Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."”
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
The Witness John
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. 9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
The Word Made Flesh
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'" 16 For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. 17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.

What do you say about yourself?" 23 He said, "I am A VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, 'MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY OF THE LORD,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
24 Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?" 26 John answered them saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know. 27 "It is He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie." 28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Build A New Life With Jesus Today!
1 God Loves You!
The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"The problem is that...
2 All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.
The Bible says "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says "The wages of sin is death."The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,
3 God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on
the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. "God demonstrates His own
love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us."
Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His
Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with
Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said "I am
the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by
Me."
God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As
many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of
God, even to those who believe on His name." You can choose to ask Jesus
Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and
Savior.
4 If you want to accept Christ as your Savior and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:
"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always."
