THAT YE MAY KNOW

There is no guess work when you know and you KNOW that you know.

It has been my priviledge to lead others to a saving knowledge of Christ Jesus. They have been drawn by the Father (Jn. 6:44), convicted of their being a helpless lost sinner,and believing the Word of God that Jesus is their only hope of salvation because of His work at Calvary.

They have believed with all their heart that Jesus paid the price for their salvation by becoming sin for them, by taking the wrath of God the father against the sin that His Son became, so that sinful man could be saved.

Jesus who had no sin of His own became sin for us. Do you believe God's Word? "Yes they answer." I believe them. Because He loves you, He died in your place, He paid your sin debt to God His Father. Do you believe Jesus did that? "Yes, I believe Jesus loves me and died in my place."

You have not believed with your whole heart before or you would have turned from your life in this world and put your complete faith in Jesus to save you and live His life through you. Do you know that? "Yes, I see that now."

The Word of God tells us in 1 Corinthians 15 that "Christ died for our sins...He was buried... and He rose again the third day... after His resurrection He was seen above five hundred breathern at once."

In Acts 1:8,9 Jesus promises Holy Spirit power to witness this saving Gospel "unto the uttermost part of the earth." Jesus blessed them and was taken up until a cloud received Him. He is seated at the right hand of God His Father and has promised to return (Jn.14:3) to call His believers up to meet Him in the air in 1 Thess (4:13-17).

By simple faith that God gives you to believe all that the Bible has said concerning your lost condition, and Jesus' promise to save you and give you His eternal life do you take Jesus to be your personal Savior? "Yes, I know that I can never save myself, and I receive Jesus, by faith alone as my personal Savior."

Before you put your complete trust in the Son of God as your Savior where would you have spent eternity after your body dies? "I would have spent eternity separated from God in the lake of fire with the devil and other rejectors of God."

If your body should die now, where would you spend eternity? "I would spend eternity in Heaven with other believers in Christ."

Most, if not all, of the readers of this post have had a similiar experience in your own salvation, and hopefully in leading others through the Bible while the Holy Spirit baptized the new convert into Christ Jesus.

Sadly, many have been left there. There was no follow - up except maybe water baptism. What about when SELF under the power of SATAN attacks this lamb? What about telling again with Holy Spirit teaching that JESUS saves completly! GOS SAYS SO!! THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...(1John 5:13)

That eternal is Christ Jesus Life and He becomes your Life. They need to know. Go over it again until they KNOW THEY KNOW.
