Shalom,


Psalm 107:1-2 says this:


1O GIVE thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!
    2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has delivered from the hand of the adversary,

Are YOU one of  "the redeemed of the LORD"? If you are, then say so, every opportunity you have! If not, why not? Have you never heard this from John 3:16-18?

16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. 18 He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation — he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name.] 

Read the rest of Psalm 107 and see how many times the God of the Bible rescued His people when they called on Him! Did you know that Jesus said THIS? John 14:6:


6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me. 

And then this in Acts 4:11-12:

11 This [Jesus] is the Stone which was despised and rejected by you, the builders, but which has become the Head of the corner [the Cornerstone].  [Ps 118:22.] 12 And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved. 

Are you ready to call on the Name of the LORD to be saved (Acts 2:21)? The Bible says that TODAY is the Day of Salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2)! Believe in your heart and say with your mouth this prayer:

Almighty God, I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ came to this earth, died on the cross for me, was raised from the dead, and is now seated at Your right hand. I accept and receive Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour and I invite Him to come into my heart and become Lord over my life. I thank You now Father, for welcoming me into Your family. You are my Father. I am Your child. Jesus is my Lord! Amen.

Now YOU are a born again believer and a member of the family of God and of the Church of Jesus Christ! YOU can join in singing this song from Hillsong called "One Way":




Shalom in Him!
