God's Gift of Salvation
The new birth,
whereby sinners become saints, is a supernatural miracle.
What does it mean to be born again? The Scripture says, "Being
born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever" (I Peter 1:23). We are born into God's family "not of blood, nor of the
will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God" (John 1:13).
Salvation is "not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord" (Zech.
4:6). Have you experienced this miracle?
The miracle of conversion changes the sinner's destiny from Hell to Heaven.
There will come a day when "whosoever was not found written in the book of life [is] cast into the lake of fire"
(Rev. 20:15). This is the eternal destiny of the "unbelieving"
(Rev. 21:8). Do you have "hope . . . laid up for you in heaven, whereof
ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel" (Col. 1:5)?
The
Lord in Heaven has promised to come and take the redeemed to be with Him. Since He ascended from the earth after His bodily
resurrection, He has been in Heaven preparing a place for us. "I go to prepare a place for you . . . [and] I will come
again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also" (John
14:2-3).
The Holy Scriptures are the revelation of Jesus Christ. God has made Himself knowable to us so that we
might receive Him and live in Him. "This is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his
Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life" (I
John 5:11-12).
Christ willingly died on the cross as payment for our sins, but He rose from the grave, conquering
death and sin. Romans 10:9 says "That if thou shalt confess with thy
mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
The
longing, sinful soul can safely put its trust in a loving Savior God. If you do not know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord
and Savior, it is our prayer that you will accept His gift of salvation and enter into your personal miracle.
