I went to a breakfast this morning with one of the missionaries our church supports and some others. His name is Manny Fernandez from World Link. I was so encouraged and inspired by the stories he was telling of churches upon churches being planted in various parts of the world, and about their expodential growth because of their obedience to God and their desire to reach those who do not yet know Christ as their Savior.
They are unashamedly telling people about God's love for them and instructing them about how to have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Have we made church too complicated? Are we complicating the simplicity of the message of Christ?
The Bible tells us that while we were still sinners He died for us. That's amazing! He didn't die for those who have their life in order. He didn't die for those who are already perfect. He died for everyone. For those who recognize their inperfection. Those who know they aren't holy enough to stand in the presence of God without the blood of Jesus to cover their sins. Even those who have done such bad things that they don't think Jesus could forgive them for what they've done. Yes, even the 'worst' of them. Not only will God forgive you of your sins, but He'll forget them, never to be used against you again. A clean slate--it seems like we all need that!
The message is true, and Jesus Christ is amazingly real. If you haven't asked Jesus Christ into your life--don't wait.
The time is now, just as you are. Who knows that tomorrow will bring? Ask Jesus to come into your life. Accept him as your Savior. Put your life in his hands. It's that simple. No strings attached.
The angels in heaven rejoice when even just one who is lost comes to know Christ. Give the angels a reason to party today! God loves you more than any human being ever could. He loves you more than you could love any other human. His love is that big, and that perfect. Nothing would give Him more joy than for you to accept the gift of His son, Jesus Christ. He's waiting with open arms. Run to Him!
