How to find God and receive Jesus Christ as our Savior
How can I find God my life is in a mess and I have this nagging longing to know if there is a God out there who really cares.
The fact is God is ready right now to reveal
Himself.
There are those times in our
lives when we come to a place where we realize that we are in a total
mess and
nothing but a failure.
It is most important at
these points of time to know that it is God who is actually reaching
out to us,
and that we must not let that moment go by without responding to Him.
For it is then that we must
come to a decision and realize that our life is a mess and that we are
a
Sinner, and we must be willing to turn our lives away from sin and
repent.
All of that might sound
rather a nasty thing, to be told that we are a Sinner and that we need
to
repent. But this is not so, for actually it is God in His great love
for us
that is telling us that we have a deadly disease called Sin, and that
He wants
from the very bottom of His heart to heal us from it.
In Acts 3:19 the Bible tells
us to "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted
out, so
that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord".
Now those “times of
refreshing” wow that sounds a great thing, for they are
indeed something even greater
than the “times of refreshing” we get after
recovery from a sickness. We
certainly felt great when we got well, so why miss out on telling God
about all
your sins right now, for He wants to hear you tell Him about all those
things,
and then He wants to step in and heal you.
We must therefore change
direction and change our thinking, and turn to Jesus who will enable us
to
obtain Eternal life and this will also open the doorway to Heaven.
But
why should I give up
doing those sins, for in a funny way I enjoy doing them? Because my
friend
those very sins are more deadly than cancer and worse than a fatal
heart
attack. Those sins will destroy you for all eternity and leave you
burning in
the lake of fire.
The Bible also tells us in
John 1:12 "But as many as received Him to them He gave the right to
become the
children of God, to those who believe in His name".
It also tells us in John
3;16 "That God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that
whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal
life”.
For it is by Faith we have
to believe that Jesus Christ died for us and our sins, that He rose
again on
the third day and it was this Salvation that cost Jesus His life.
So
it was Jesus Christ who
took our sicknesses upon Him on the cross, and not only that He took
the very
worst of them our sins and paid the price for our redemption that we
might
live.
So openly today confess
those sins that deadly sickness to God and receive His refreshing upon
you
today. Do not put it off, but confess it right now.
For as you really do this from the bottom of your heart, you will never be wondering again about whether you can know God, for He will flood your life with His wonderful presence and all doubt will have gone forever.
