I really love this from "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers:
I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me. — John 12:32
Very few of us have any understanding of the reason why Jesus Christ died. If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is a farce, there was no need for it. What the world needs is not "a little bit of love," but a surgical operation.
AMEN! IN fact, Jesus Himself said this to Nicodemus, a Jewish leader. John 3:3 and 6-7::
3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.
We KNOW that there is salvation in no other but JESUS! Look at Acts 4:12:
12 Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.
Jesus IS the ONLY WAY to the Father! 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 through me.
Do YOU see that "being good" will NEVER be good enough? Jesus paid the price for sin, once and for all! One time, for all people, for all time! BUT, only those who freely receive what HE has freely given will ever be born again! Make sure that YOU are not "muddling up" the simple and powerful Gospel message by adding to or subtracting from the Word of God! If GOD said it, and He did (look above again), then it is most definitely TRUTH and we would be wise to instantly obey what HE is telling us to do! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Worship again with "We Have A Saviour":
Shalom in Him!
