Why a Savior ?
The Holy Bible is God's word !
"But know this first of all,
that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter
of one's own interpretation,
for no prophecy was ever made
by an act of human will,
but men moved by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God."
2.Peter 1:20:21
DO YOU KNOW
GOD LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT ?
No matter how you feel, how you dress,
or whatever you have done, yes,
even if you have killed someone
God is willing to forgive you and love you
just as you are;
IF YOU REPENT FROM YOUR SINS!
It's the sin in your heart He is concerned about.
Whatever the reason
you have not taken Jesus seriously before,..
there is no coincident you are here reading this now.
So why don't you take a few minutes and check
what the Bible says about The Lord and who Jesus really
is and the personal relationship He has to offer you
before you move on to other things ?
THE GREATEST NEWS EVER FOUND !
You see,... I was in somewhat a similar situation as you.
Someone told me about JESUS. For years I rejected them.
Why ?
If there is nothing to this Jesus ?
how come it feels so uncomfortable to hear about Him?
It is hard to realize EVERYTHING you have based your life on
turns out to be just a lie!
What if you were in my position?
You knew you had found the truth about life.
Would you keep it to yourself ?
By the way,...are you 100 % sure
you hold the truth about life and death?
Do you know how it all will play out in the end
when you are done here on this earth, and who told you ?
What information do you base your life on ?
Did other humans tell you
based on human information void of God
without any proof to back it up ?
Can you prove Napoleon actually was a French general ?
Were you there ? Or do you know someone who was there ?
Or would you rather trust people like me
who have experienced that what the Bible says
becomes ALIVE and is for real and transforms your life
so incredible words can't describe it!!?
HOLDING THIS GOOD NEWS TO MYSELF
WOULD BE SELFISH !
I believe what the Bible says, not ordinary people.
If you follow the directions as written by God through
Holy Spirit inspired men the word of God
actually becomes real just as it says it will.
If you choose to deny this amazing life transforming Book
I believe you are missing out BIG TIME !
It's your free choice !
My part is to offer another witness testimony
for you to consider accepting what joy God has to offer.
TRUE LOVE & PEACE !
"The one who does not love does not know God,
for God is love".
1.John 4:8
"Therefore having been justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Romans 5:1
GOD'S JOY!
"What was from the beginning, what we have heard,
what we have seen with our own eyes,
what we beheld and our hands handled,
concerning the Word of Life - and the life was manifested,
and we have seen and bear witness
and proclaim to you eternal life, which was with the Father
and was manifested to us - what we have seen and heard
we proclaim to you also, that you may have fellowship with us;
and indeed our fellowship is with the Father,
and His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write,
so that our joy may be made complete".
1.John 1:1-4
ABOUT 2000 YEARS LATER
I CAN TESTIFY TO THIS BEING TRUE
",....the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control."
Galatians 5:22
DON'T YOU WANT
LOVE, JOY & PEACE ?
MAYBE YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES ?
Could it be John Lennon, who was not god,
turned out to have been right about;
"All you need is love" ?
But Lennon did not show the way to true love, because
God is love !
Hey ! please take no offense,..
I'm not trying to knock down the Beatles,...
From I was 10 to 37 I was a huge Beatles fan.
Now I am a fan of the Lord Jesus.
Why a Savior ?
We need a Savior, because we are born with sin in our heart
and though we might appear fine on the outside
we are in need for a removal of spiritual cancer in our heart.
According to Psalm 51:5
we are all born sinners inherited from our parents. You can
trace the sin back to Adam and Eve.
We all need to be BORN AGAIN in the spirit.
WHY ? YOU MIGHT SAY ? YOU ARE NOT A SINNER ?
Really ? by whose standards ?
Have you ever lied ? Actually by saying you are not a sinner,..
you might just have lied ! Sorry to have to bring it to your attention,..
yet it still doesn't change the fact you lied and you can't escape
no matter how much you'd like to !
Have you ever stolen anything ? No ?
well,..how about a cookie as a child ?
Have you ever lusted after someone,
who did not belong to you ?
Have you ever wanted something your neighbor or friends have
and you don't ? Whether you admit to this,...
or not,... you have just broken four of
GOD'S TEN COMMANDMENTS !
You don't care about God and His commandments ?
It's your free choice,...
still it doesn't mean you will not have to face God's judgment one day.
If you were a judge in a court of law ?
would you let a guilty man or woman go free
if you had received the verdict by the jury
with proof of four broken laws ? We are all guilty on all charges!
THANK GOD WE HAVE A GOD OF
GRACE. MERCY AND GREAT LOVE !!
Check 1. John chapter 2. Sinners have an advocate
in the Lord Jesus who will take care of our sins!
"In the beginning God created the heavens & earth".
And God created man in His own image,...
male and female He created them.
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying;
'From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day you eat from it, you shall surely die."
Genesis 1:1,27, 2:1-17
BECAUSE ADAM AND EVE SINNED
THEY WERE SEPARATED FROM GOD
Satan through the serpent tempted Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit against God's command. Adam and Eve's disobedience plunged them and all of the human race into a state of sin and corruption.
You will find that in the Bible in
Genesis 2:4- 3:24
SO YOU MIGHT SAY YOU HAVE HEARD
THIS APPLE AND EVE STORY BEFORE
AND IT'S A LOT OF HOGWASH ?
Well,.. you are entitled to believe whatever you want,..after all God created us with a free will, which Adam and Eve used to sin,..but heey,..don't be so quick to judge them,..we given the same scenario would have done the same,...
IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT GOD IS GOD
and we are not!
GOD MADE THE RULES, BECAUSE HE IS GOD!
You may fight this truth all your life,..
or take the Bible to the test and let me proof to you;
THE BIBLE IS
THE TRUE MANUAL FOR LIFE
WE INHERITED THE SIN FROM THE FIRST MAN, ADAM
"Therefore just as through one man sin entered into the world,
and death through sin,
and so death spread to all men, because all sinned,....
Never the less death reigned from Adam,...
even over those who had not sinned
in the likeness of the offense of Adam."
Romans 5:12,14
THE BIBLE SAYS; SATAN HAS BLINDED YOUR MIND !
",...in whose case the god of this world (Satan)
has blinded the minds of the unbelieving,
that they might not see
the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ,
who is the image of God".
2.Corinthians 4:4
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND
GOD'S WORD
UNLESS YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT
"Now we have received, not the spirit of the world,
but the Spirit who is from God,
that we might know the things freely given us by God,
which things we also speak,
not in words taught by human wisdom,
but in those taught by the Spirit,
combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
But a natural man does not accept
the things of the Spirit of God;
for they are foolishness to him
and he cannot understand them,
because they are spiritually appraised."
1.Corinthians 2:12-14
NO ONE CAN SAY JESUS IS LORD
EXCEPT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
" You know that when you were pagans
you were lead astray to the dumb idols,
however you were lead.
Therefore i make known to you,
that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says;
'Jesus is accursed' and no one can say;
'Jesus is Lord' except by the Holy Spirit."
1.Corinthians 12:2-3
YOU ARE SAVED BY GOD'S GRACE,
MERCY AND LOVE
By faith in the Lord JESUS our Savior
"He saved us,
not by the basis of deeds,
which we have done in righteousness,
but according to His mercy,
by washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
whom He poured out upon us richly
through Jesus Christ our Savior,
that being justified by His grace
we might be made heirs
according to the hope of eternal life."
Titus 3:5-7
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23
"Indeed there is not a righteous man on earth
who continually does good and who never sins."
Ecclesiastes 7:20
"The wages of sin is death."
Romans 6:23b
GOD IS FAITHFUL TO FORGIVE OUR SINS
"If we confess our sins, He (GOD) is faithful and righteous
to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned,
we make Him (God) a liar."
1. John 1:9-10
A WARNING FROM HEAVEN!
"See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking
For if those did not escape when they refused Him
who warned them on earth,
much less shall we escape who turn away from
Him who warns from heaven.
And His voice shook the earth then,
but now He has promised,saying
'Yet once more I will shake not only the earth,
but also the heaven."
Hebrews 12:25-26
"But the day of the Lord will come like a thief
in which the heavens will pass away with a roar
and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat,
and the earth and it's works will be burned up."
2.Peter 3:10
"Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart."
Hebrews 4:7
HOW DO YOU THINK
GOD WILL JUDGE YOU?
"And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it,...
And I saw the dead, the great and the small,
standing before the throne, And books were opened,
and another book was opened, which is
THE BOOK OF LIFE,
and the dead were judged from things
which were written in the books
according to their deeds.
And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life,
he was thrown into the lake of fire."
Revelation 20:11,12,15
Please allow me to ask you?
Have you made up your mind how you will
judge the sinners guilty of breaking four of God's laws.
There is clear evidence of guilt.
Four laws you were set to judge over and uphold,
how will you judge ? Guilty or not guilty?
The Bible says the wages of sin is DEATH!
You will need to give the sinners
the death penalty which is eternal life in hell.
"And if your eyes causes you to stumble, cast it out:
it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye,
than having two eyes, to be cast into hell."
Mark 9:47
Because someone does not believe Hell is for real
Does not stop Hell from being Hell.
" Or do you not know that the unrighteous
shall not inherit the kingdom of God ?
Do not be deceived;
neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards,
nor revilers, nor swindlers,
shall inherit the kingdom of God.
And such were some of you;
but you were washed, but you were sanctified,
but you were justified
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and in the Spirit of our God."
1. Corinthians 6:9-11
God does not single anyone out !
We are all sinners !
If anyone tells you different,.... they lie!
and exalt themselves trying to be better than you.
I call them "modern day Pharisees"
How I wish Christians would stop attacking homosexuals.
No Christian is better than any homosexual !
My question to you if you are homosexual of choice for your lifestyle is;
Would you allow God to show you
something far better than what you have ?
What if you are holding onto a lifestyle
which never will give you complete satisfaction ?
I was living it up as a biker president, long haired rock?n?roller.
I had it all as the world see it.
But now I count it all rubbish as the Apostle Paul wrote
in Philippians chapter 3, because it is garbage
compared to God?s glory revealed to me.
I was blind, but now I can see, because what Jesus did for me.
The List above shows what people were like
BEFORE !!
The Lord JESUS
took care of their sins !
When the crowd wanted to stone the prostitute back when
Jesus walked this earth among us, He said;
the one without no sin
throw the first rock !
They all dropped the rocks and left.
I am a sinner much forgiven.
I'm only sharing the amazing truth I have found.
GOD PROVIDED A WAY OUT FROM CONDEMNATION
"Whoever believes in Him (Jesus) is not condemned,
but whoever does not believe
stands condemned already,
because he has not believed
in the name of God's one and only Son
(Jesus Christ)"
John 3:18
" Christ Jesus
came into this world to save sinners."
1.Timothy 1:15
"Christ died for ours sins,..and He was buried,...
and He rose again the third day."
1.Corinthians 15:3,4
"For Christ did not enter into a holy place
made with hands, but into heaven itself,
now to appear in the presence of God for us,...
so Christ also, having been offered once
to bear the sins for many,
shall appear a second time for salvation
without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him."
Hebrews 9:24,28
"Much more than, having now been justified by His blood,
we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him."
Romans 5:9
"For as in Adam all die,
so also in Christ all shall be made alive."
1.Corinthians 15:22
"For what profit is it to man if he gains the whole world
and loses his soul ?"
Matthew 16:26
NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION
"For He says; behold now is 'THE ACCEPTABLE TIME'
behold now is 'THE DAY OF SALVATION".
2. Corinthians 6:2b
"You do not know what your life will be like tomorrow,"
James 4:14
JESUS CAME TO SAVE YOU
BECAUSE GOD LOVES YOU
I bet you have heard about John 3:16 at some point.
I believe it's the most famous scripture in the Bible,
and for good reason,
because it shows the ultimate act of love
through sacrifice of God's Son
for the sins of the world ! our sins !
Have you ever taken the time to dwell on what this means ?
"God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him (JESUS)
should not perish, but have eternal life."
John 3:16
"For today in the city of David
there has been born for you
a Savior who is Christ the Lord."
Luke 2:11
"God demonstrates His own love towards us,
in that while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8
JESUS
THE MESSIAH
THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN!
" Jesus said;
I am the way,and the truth, and the life,
no one comes to the Father,but through Me."
John 14:6
"We have found the Messiah
(translated means Christ)."
John 1:41
"Unless one is born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God."
John 3:3
No religious act or work will get you into heaven
Only a personal faith based relationship with
God JESUS
"You have been saved through faith,...not as result of works."
Ephesians 2:8-9
JESUS SAID HE WILL RETURN
" This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven'
will come just in the same way as you have
watched Him go into heaven."
Acts 1:11
"Jesus said;
For this is the will of My Father
that everyone who beholds the Son
and believes in Him, may have eternal life,
and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."
John 6:40
FOR YOUR COMFORT
"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the Arcangel, and the trumpet of God,
and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air,
and thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words."
1.Thessalonians 4:16-18
" Sirs, what must I do to be saved ?
And they (the apostles) said,
BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS
AND YOU SHALL BE SAVED ."
Acts 16:30b - 31a
JESUS IS KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR
AND THE CHURCH DOOR TOO!
" Jesus says;
Behold I stand at the door and knock;
if anyone hears My voice and opens the door,
I will come into Him."
Revelation 3:20
THE CURE FOR YOUR SINFUL HEART DISEASE
" Confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord,
believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you shall be saved, for with the heart man believes
resulting in righteousness
and with the mouth he confesses,
resulting in salvation.
FOR WHOEVER WILL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD
WILL BE SAVED."
Romans 10:9,10,13
SO, WHAT EXACTLY IS JESUS DOING FOR YOU?
"I am Jesus,...delivering you ( from Satan ),....
to open your eyes in order to turn them from darkness
to light, and the power of Satan, to God
that they may receive forgiveness of sins
and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me."
Acts 26:15,18
IT'S A FREE CHOICE
TO ACCEPT A FREE GIFT
FROM GOD
Has this made any sense at all to you ?
Unless you ask for God's help to figure it out
you will never understand with your mind a
matter of your heart. It is a matter of faith.
There is nothing else you have to do.
Accept God's invitation to live with Him forever.
Trust the Lord Jesus like a child does when he or she leaps into their
dad in the swimming pool and trust he will catch them.
YOU CAN TRUST GOD !
HE WILL GIVE YOU A NEW LIFE FILLED WITH TRUE LOVE
PEACE AND JOY BEYOND YOUR WILDEST IMAGINATION
IN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CREATOR OF IT ALL.
JUST SIMPLY PRAY WITH ALL YOUR HEART;
Salvation Prayer
"Heavenly Father, Almighty God,
please forgive me my sins.
I believe with all my heart
the Lord Jesus
paid the penalty for my sins
when He died on the cross,
and I believe You raised Him from the dead
and that Jesus is in heaven today waiting
to come back for me.
Jesus, please come into my life
as my Lord and Savior.
Please help me by Your Holy Spirit
to surrender my life to You
and live according to Your will for my life
every day from this day on
as written in the Bible. Thank You for saving me.
In the name of the Lord Jesus
I pray, Amen."
If you prayed this prayer and meant it
you have become a believer and follower of Christ.
He will help change your life to the better in a new wonderful way.
The Bible tells us that through problems and sufferings
you will never go through it alone again, because
Jesus promised;
"Never to leave you nor forsake you."
Hebrews 13:5
As you start your new life as a believer of Christ
it is important that you find a good Bible teaching
church to attend and fellowship with other believers.

Zealous James
Your bond-servant for JESUS' sake and others
