Seven steps to be a child of God

Step 1. God sent Jesus because he loves you.  
God does not want anyone to perish by the deceiving schemes of the Devil.  God wants everyone to receive eternal life by believing in his Son Jesus Christ (John 3:16).
 
Step 2.  Humanity is in need of salvation
The Bible tells us that no one is righteous in front of God by doing good deeds. We all became sinners through the disobedience of the first man, Adam. The Bible says, "the wages of sin is death, but the gift God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23).  "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:20,23).  So we all are  need of Salvation.
 
Step 3. God made a provision for your salvation through Jesus Christ.
 God demonstrated His love toward us while we were still sinners.Jesus Christ had to die in our place  in order to  justify us by His blood.(Romans 5:8). The Bible tells us that all men became sinners through Adam's act of disobedience and sin. The good news is that through the obedience and death of Jesus Christ, many will be made righteous (Romans 5:19).  Salvation is a  gift of God. You have the right to accept or reject it. 
 
Step 4.  Believe it in your heart and  accept Jesus as your personal Savior.
 The Bible tells us: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).   God desires for all men and women to accept this free gift of eternal salvation through His Son Jesus Christ. We are not saved by our works, but only by grace.  Admit that you are in need of this salvation.  Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and invite him into your life as your personal savior. 
 
Step 5. Approach the throne of God without any fear. 
 
Your mediator is Jesus Christ. You can be a child of God by saying a  prayer from your heart  similar to this:
Dear Heavenly father, I admit that I am in need of salvation and I need your forgiveness.  Thank you for sending your Son Jesus to save me. I believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose from the dead.  Forgive all my sins and cleanse me with the blood of Jesus, shed on the cross of Calvary.  I want to accept Jesus as my personal savior.   I want to live for you and spend my eternity in heaven with you.  Amen 
                               
Step 6. Have the assurance of salvation.
"To those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become the children of God" (John 1:12,13). If you have accepted Jesus as your personal savior today, record today’s date as your day of salvation. Have that assurance that you became a child of God today.  You became a new creation in Christ and your old nature is dead. This process is called the Born again experience.

Step 7.  Stand firm and experience freedom in your daily life and throughout Eternity. 
 " It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery". (Galatians 5:1)  If you have any questions or need any  further assistance for fellowship or spiritual maturity please contact us by clicking the top message column or email. We will be more than happy to help you.  If you have any prayer requests let us know and we will earnestly pray for it.  Email:  christforcommunity@gmail.com

Expect great things from God and receive miracle healing, no matter what the situation is.

Here are just few scriptures that say it is Gods will to heal you.

I am the Lord that healeth thee......Ex 15:26

A short prayer for healing

 

Dear loving Father,

I thank you for that you created me. You are the One I turn to for help in moments of my weakness and times of need. Lord, it is your promise that you send out your Word and heal me ( Psalm 107:20).  Lord I believe in you and ask you to send your healing Word to your servant and heal me. In the name of Jesus Christ, I take victory over all sickness and weakness in my body.  Thank you for hearing my prayer.  Amen.

 

The uniqueness of Jesus Christ

1.  The birth of Jesus was unique in human history. By the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit, God himself became human.  While mankind was unable to reach the unseen sovereign God, Jesus came to this world as a human to give us access into the kingdom of God.  This was the perfect plan for God to save mankind from their sins.

 
2.  The life of Jesus - was completely human and completely divine in nature. He proved that he had authority over life, demons, and over nature.  Jesus is the only one person who proved that he is the way, the truth and the life. Jesus promises salvation, peace and  healing in our life in this world and in the world to come.  He did not come to destroy sinners, but to save them. 
 

3.  Jesus' Death and Resurrection was prophesied in many different places in the bible and all were fulfilled at the appointed time of God.  Jesus died for our sins and  was resurrected from the dead to prove that he has authority over death.  The birth and death of Jesus Christ was the greatest event in human history powerful enough to divide it in to AD and BC.

 

4.  The Second Coming of Jesus will be the next greatest event which is going to happen soon  in human history. Jesus will return as he promised to receive his people who are waiting for him.  The  invitation is still open for all people around the world.  Are you ready to meet Jesus on that great day?  Where you will spend your eternity?  Time and tide will not wait for man. We need to make our choice while we are alive in this world.

Remember:" It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery". (Galatians 5:1) If you have any questions, prayer requests or need any further assistance for fellowship and spiritual maturity please contact us at christforcommunity@gmail.com

 

Life after Death

Have you ever thought of life after death? Do you know what happens to you when you die?

The answer is very simple. Your body returns to dust and your spirit returns to God. Heb. 9:27 says  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Immediately upon dying, your spirit/soul departs your body and goes back to God.  The good news is that there is an eternal life after death and children of God can rejoice with our God. You are the one who make that choice of place to spent your eternity.

God prepared a way for us through Jesus Christ to spend our eternity with Him to rejoice for ever. God sent his Son Jesus to die in our place and to save you because He loves you.  Those who die in Christ will resurrect and those who live on the earth with the assurance of salvation will transform with a glorified body to live with God in eternity. There won’t be any death, tears, pain or problems there. The Bible says in  1 Thes. 4:16-17   For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

We shall not be ignorant about the bad news on the other side. As you know there is an evil force of Demonic kingdom is also preparing people in their kingdom. Those who reject the salvation plan of God are under the control of that evil power. Bible reveals that those people will be judged and their final destiny is the hell. Loving God doesn’t want to send anyone there and that’s why he sent His son Jesus with a salvation plan by faith available to all human beings on earth. No deed is necessary for this salvation. The important thing to remember is that we must take this decision while we are alive on earth. No one can help you to promote your eternal destiny after the death. This is a perfect time God is giving you today – because tomorrow may not be yours. In order to understand this fact very seriously, Jesus told a true story in the Bible. Luk. 16:19 - 31.  “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’  25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’   27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ 29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’  30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’  31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

The most important favor you can do for yourselves is to secure your life in Jesus Christ while you are alive on earth.   Get that assurance of salvation to rejoice with God throughout  eternity.

 God is the Creator!


Question: "What does it mean that God is the Creator?"

Answer: 
One of the foundational truths of the Bible is that God is the Creator of all that is. One of the many passages to proclaim God as Creator is Isaiah 40:28, “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.” All three Persons of the Trinity were involved in the creation of the universe (Genesis 1:2Acts 17:24Hebrews 1:2).

A creator is one who makes something new. People can “create” art projects, musical compositions, and physical structures; however, they always have something to work with. They begin with preexisting matter and form it in new ways. Even music and other intellectual creations have rhythms, rhymes, notes, instruments, and artistic mediums that provide structure and offer possibilities. What is commonly called “creativity” is more akin to synthesis. God had no such raw materials to work with. When we say that God is the Creator, we mean that He is truly creative, in a category all by Himself, because He started with 
nothing (Colossians 1:16).

Genesis 1:1 says that “in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” That means that, before Genesis 1:1, there existed no heavens and no earth. God spoke them into being (Genesis 1:369). “In six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them” (Exodus 20:11; cf. Revelation 10:6). He is God. He is not limited by our understanding, nor by time, space, or matter. As the Creator, God is the all-wise originator and designer of all things: “How many are your works, LORD! In wisdom you made them all” (Psalm 104:24).

When God created the heavens and the earth, He did so by speaking it into existence. When He created the things that filled the earth and the sky, He spoke them into being (
Genesis 1:11–16). But when He created human beings, He did something different. He took some clay that He had already made and formed a man. Then He breathed His own life into that man, and “man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7). When He created the first woman, Eve, He also used that which He had already made. He caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep and took a rib from his side and formed a woman (Genesis 2:21).

God is the Designer and Craftsman of everything in the universe, and He created human beings a step above all the rest. By breathing His own life into that man, He created the man and woman “in His own image” (
Genesis 1:27). That means that human beings are more like God than any other created thing. We have an eternal spirit, just as God has. We can reason, choose good or evil, and love. We have emotions, intellect, and the power and desire to create things ourselves. God desires to have fellowship with us (Genesis 3:8–9Jeremiah 29:12). He does not seek fellowship with dogs, dolphins, or trees. They have life, but not God’s life. And when He came to earth to save us, He came in the form of a man (Philippians 2:5–8Luke 1:35).

When we say that God is the Creator, we mean that no one created Him and that God alone is THE Creator. Satan cannot create; he can only pervert what God creates. People cannot truly create, because we must start with something that has already been created. Everything originated from God (
Jeremiah 10:16

======================================================================

 

Seek the Lord while He may be found, call on Him while He is near. (Isaiah 55:60)
