What is to accept Jesus? But what is to accept Jesus? Accepting Jesus is the expression used by evangelicals to indicate two things: 1 - Accept it as Savior: In the first case you will be agreeing to a sinner and need salvation, that the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is sufficient to ensure salvation and that does not require the intervention or intercession of any other matter how privileged it may seem. It is an act of humility, repentance and faith. 2 - Accept Him as Lord: In this second case you will be surrendering the things of this world to serve only the Lord Jesus. It concerns the practical level of faith. There is an expression of the lip, is also not just go to a church or be called evangelical, involves a complete surrender to the name of Jesus, His Word (Holy Bible) and his will. By accepting him as Lord we are putting in the position of servant to obey his word and give our old beliefs, customs, habits and behaviors that separate us from the Lord Jesus. The Bible uses the suit to be born again, to indicate that there need to die to be born into the world and new life for Jesus. The act of accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior will immediately ensure the salvation of his soul and is the only way for us to get rid of the damnation of hell and reach heaven. The invitation is, however, the decision is solely yours. No one can force him to accept Jesus, because it is something that has to remain until his death or until the return of Jesus. What did you think of the invitation? If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus and to accept it right now, fill out the form below and we will pray for you and ask the Lord to confirm this decision to be the most important of his life. What must I do to be saved? This is a question that has been asked by many people and the answer very clearly in the word of God, the Holy Bible. In the book of Acts in capítulo16 29.30 and verses 31 and find a straightforward answer to this question: he called for lights and sprang in, and trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas and brought them out, said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved and thy house. Find similar teachings in John 3:16. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life. Clearly, then, to be safe enough to believe in Jesus, but what is believe in Jesus? We can define that believing in Jesus is divided into three main stages: 1 - Accept it as your one and only Savior this stage you are declaring that Jesus is the only one who can lead you to salvation, this act should mark the point of resignation this world and its surrender to the Lord Jesus. 2 - Obey his word: Many accept Jesus, but are not willing to obey it, or make bookings. Obedience to the word of God is a commandment and was well expressed by Jesus in the book of John 3:3. Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee Except a man be born again he can not see the kingdom of God. Being born again expressed here die to the things of the world and be born into the things of God, so if you are with God means to obey them. 3 - Remaining faithful to him until the end. This step is only the permanence of the previous step, or remain obedient to the end. Therefore, believing in Jesus is not a gesture of lip service, implies change of life and total submission to God's word, just so we can say that and truly believe in Jesus will be saved. What will change in my life after I accepted Jesus? The first major event will be the salvation, all who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior in their hearts truly are saved in time, ie, salvation is immediate. See what he says in Romans 10:9 "If you confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." But that does not mean you do not even have to change your life many people accept Jesus as their lives have completely changed and it will be bent with the operation of the Holy Spirit in the life of this new person and if not true to my decision to accept Jesus? Many people take Jesus out of the mouth, that is, do not do this with the heart. It is important to note here that even if it was so insignificant, God will consider its decision, it is now up to you to take or not the commitment before God. But salvation is only operated on those who accept Jesus so real and only maintained in those who remain in the ways of the Lord. After accepting Jesus, can lose their salvation? Yes, simply give the commitment that you did to Jesus and turn from their ways. Jesus take me as I am? I think this question should be part of the vocabulary of many people. Someone may say: I was born that way, I am so what do I have to change to go to Jesus? Or is that Jesus accepts me as I am? Yes Jesus accepts you as you are, but refuses to leave it as you are. How to understand this? Imagine a big, glamorous party. At some point there comes a beggar at the door of the mansion where the party is rolling out and says I want to go! Immediately, the host is called and after meeting the new visitor says he may go the way it is (dirty, torn clothes, smelling bad, etc.), but may not remain that way in your party. Understanding that this is the best alternative, the beggar accepts the condition. The employee then takes the beggar and the service begins, take the laundry, bathing, cutting nails, hair and beard. Put a suit and a thin comfortable shoes on your feet. As an employee adjusts his tie, the other gives instructions as good manners and behave well at table. Finally, a fragrance, an elegant watch on the wrist and the last instructions of chivalry, courtesy and other elements of good education. Ready. Now he can sit on the table and eat with the host and guests. Well, similar is the person who arrives at the feet of Jesus and asks: Do you take me as I am? Yes certainly accepted, but not for you continue as you are but to be transformed by the power of God's word. People who sought Jesus or were brought to him while on earth, were invariably troubled people: Blind, lepers, adulterers, thieves, and so demonized. The sick were healed, sinners are forgiven and freed demonized. Jesus came to change people's lives, so he can not let you come to him and remain without any change.
In the Gospel of Mark chapter 2:15-17 we find the essence of this teaching. See what it says: It happened while sitting at a table in his house, were also seated at the table with Jesus and his disciples, many publicans and sinners, for there were many, and they followed. And the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples: Why does he eat and drink with publicans and sinners? And Jesus heard this, said to them, not the healthy who need a doctor, but rather those who are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but, but sinners to repentance. Jesus came to free us from sin and give us salvation, he is calling you to repentance and a new life. Do not worry, he will accept you as you are, although not leave like that, but will make a change in your life since you accepted the invitation of Jesus to give his life to it. All people will be saved? No. God desires the salvation of all, is what is written in the Bible in 1 Timothy 2.4, however, to be saved each person must accept God's salvation in Jesus Christ. How many do not accept Jesus, as a result are denying their own salvation. Salvation depends on God or us? See what it says in John 3:16-18: "16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. " See the plan of salvation comes from God and Jesus performed this plan by giving his life for us, but we must accept the sacrifice of Jesus and submit our lives to the Lord's feet. Thus we may say that salvation comes from God in the person of Jesus and we accept depends on whether or not this so great salvation.
I think I've sinned so much, sure I can still have salvation? Jesus came to save the world not to condemn it (see above). God hates sin, whatever it is, but loves the sinner and be willing to forgive when this humble before God and repent of their evil ways. See what the Bible says in Isaiah 55:7. "Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts: return to the Lord, have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. "If I am a good person and caring too can gain salvation? Being charitable is good and desirable for those who wish to be saved, but at no time can be used as a merit for salvation. We can not save ourselves, that is, no matter how good our actions still depend entirely on Jesus to be saved and only and only in Jesus we can only get to heaven. Wrong choices, suffering around: We make choices all the time. Small and large, with immediate effect or long term. Unfortunately, not all choices are correct and when we make wrong choices, invariably the pain comes along. The first contact with drugs was a wrong choice, some think, that person who got involved was a wrong choice, others claim. The first sip of the drink, involvement in illegal business, bad company, among others, are bad choices that led many people to suffer. Ahh ... If I could go back. Redo. Start. For many nights are made of regrets and nightmares. How nice it would return to the past to avoid as many problems at present. Wrong choices versus choices: If you made bad choices in his past life, now make a right choice for your future life. The thief who was crucified with Jesus had made wrong choices in your life, but there living his last moments he did what every man should do, Lord, remember me when You come into his kingdom, he said. If a life of bad choices brought him to death as punishment, this new choice would bring him the reward of eternal life because Jesus immediately said: 'Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise'. After so many wrong choices, that thief chose Jesus.
What is the solution to the wrong choices? I invite you to make a choice: Accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. This one I guarantee you will not be a bad decision. Jesus wants to save as that thief saved, Jesus wants to be your choice, as was also of the robber. If his past is bad, remember that the future starts now and it may continue to be bad or transformed by the power of God. Everything depends on what you decide now to your life. Give your life today to Jesus, tell him: I was wrong, wrong choices I made, I am suffering, I'm making people suffer, but I want change and need your help. How so? Jesus died for me? God created man in His image and likeness. The man was good, and all the things God has done. But, influenced by Satan, man was tempted to sin against God and sinned. This sin away the man of God and condemned to death. Since then the story repeats itself every child is born. We are born with a sin nature and tainted by such natural destiny is eternal death. The man is sitting comfortably on a bench in a train that is in full swing to hell. It is a harsh statement, but it's true. But God intervenes in history and decides to rescue the man. So he sends Jesus Christ his only son to suffer and die on the cross and pay for our mistakes. Jesus died for me and my place here on the cross Jesus was punished and suffered the will of God for you and I did not have to suffer. Why did God do this? You find another explanation other than love? We had a debt to God and was taking? No. Jesus died for me and I deserve no more, no I have nothing to give in return. Is now at least we can love Christ more? It would be a profound ingratitude turn our backs on Him who loved us unconditionally?
The Final Judgement: The Judgement will be the last event for the man before eternity. Men and women, rich and poor, young and old, the Bible says that all the wicked will be raised from the dead to face the Judgement. Those who did not have their names written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire and be tormented forever and ever. The Last Judgement is the end point of man's sin, the doom will be the beginning of doom for those who have rejected the word of God, the Last Judgement will be painful and put the wicked man in the place of greatest suffering, hell. The signs of the end times is everywhere: hunger, poverty, homosexuality, violence, war, the occult, despair, earthquakes, tsunamis ... many are the signs. Jesus gave us all the tips necessary for us to be vigilant. The video below will help you better understand how it will be the end and doom. I want to follow Jesus, but it seems that something prevents me: giving life to Jesus is something that will forever change our lives, he deceives those who think that this decision will be reflected only in eternity. When we accept the proposal of Jesus to be one of his followers, there will be opposition, that is fact! Do not be surprised if you feel shame, hopelessness and a feeling that something is missing. The Bible says that the flesh (sinful nature) militates against the spirit and vice versa. But not only that we have an enemy, Satan, he wants us to follow Jesus and make every effort to place obstacles in order to prevent their decision to serve only Jesus Christ. Take the example of Jesus who suffered for 40 days hard temptation to change plans. Jesus conquered and won by spiritual weapons, we must follow the same path.
Some advice for those who want to follow Jesus, but it seems that something stops them. The strength you need comes from God and not from you. I think about it and wait on God. Pray and seek with confidence that God is just to help you. Be strong. Do not expect God to do what you can do. Going to church, praying, fasting, reading the Bible and away from sin and our responsibilities are not God. Try to be with serious people and committed to the word of God. Forget the idle talk. Talk to the church where the pastor wishes to gather, present their difficulties, doubts and ask for help. The church has an obligation to help those in need, spiritual and material well. Prayer is a powerful weapon, not to change God but to change ourselves before him. I know that there is no step-by-step to be a winner, but I know who called you is greater than the one holding you back.
