Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7: 13&14
That is a good question. If you are a Christian it is your responsibility to tell others about Jesus.
Do not let people drown in their sin. The life saving news is this. Jesus died on the cross, was buried for 3 days and rose from the dead.
If they trust Him, whose blood cleanses us from all sin they will be saved.
Wonderful news. Be sure to tell someone at every opportunity.
“That if thou shall confess with thy mouth and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him (Jesus) from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9
Some people think little children are too young to be saved. Jesus said to bring the children to Him. It is our responsibility as Christians to make sure the children we are blessed to have a relationship with know about Jesus.
What a blessing to have young children come to Jesus at an early age. They have their whole lives to serve Him.
Mark 10:14 – But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11
Tracts are very effective. Many Christians have been saved reading a tract, either along with someone witnessing or them or picking one up and reading it on their own.
Carolyn Curtis is a good example. She was given a tract the morning she was on the way to Niagara Falls to end her life. While getting up the courage to jump in, she read the tract, prayed the prayer on the back and was gloriously saved. Since that time many have come to the Lord through her witness.
One tract can change a life. You can be the one to give a tract to someone in person, leave one in the restroom, at a store, restaurant or any public place. Put one in a library book, in a shoe box at a shoe store.
Be creative. Think of a place to leave a tract and pray someone will find it who needs the Lord. It is a life changing opportunity.
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: (Romans 5:1 KJV)
Justified. What does that mean. If we have accepted Jesus as our Savior, it means in God’s eyes that we have never sinned.
God sees us through the blood of Christ. All our sin has been washed away.
Are you justified? If not ask Jesus to forgive you of all your sin. Believe that Jesus died on the cross, was buried and rose again on the third day. Repent of all your sin and begin a new life following Our Savior.
God is preparing a place for those of us who has accepted Jesus as our Savior.
We. Can be 100% sure we will go to Heaven.
ADMIT THAT YOU HAVE SINNED
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
“That if thou shall confess with thy mouth and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him (Jesus) from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9
CALL UPON THE LORD
“For whosoever (you) shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.”Romans 10:13
Who can you fully trust in? Family and friends may fail you but, Jesus never fails. The Bible tells us to trust in Jesus with all our heart.
What we think about is also very important. Philippians 4:9 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things
Two last lessons from a children’s song.
Oh be careful little heart whom you trust Oh be careful little heart whom you trust For the father up above is looking down in love So be careful little heart whom you trust
Oh be careful little mind what you think Oh be careful little mind what you think For the father up above is looking down in love So be careful little mind what you think
Oh be careful little hands what you do Oh be careful little hands what you do For the father up above is looking down in love So be careful little hands what you do
Oh be careful little feet where you go Oh be careful little feet where you go For the father up above is looking down in love So be careful little feet where you go
Sometimes we are tempted to do something we shouldn’t. Taking something that does not belong to us. Maybe it is just a small thing from work or something we found and do not look for it’s owner. Whatever tempts us to do something we know we shouldn’t is sin.
Where we go is important also. Going anywhere that is not pleasing to God can cause us to fall into temptation to sin.
Be careful what we do and where we go is good advice from the children’s song, but it is even more important as adults.
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
Oh be careful little ears what your hear Oh be careful little ears what you hear For the father up above is looking down in love So be careful little ears what you hear
Another lesson from a children’s song. What are we listening to? We need to be careful to listen to things that are pleasing to God.
Music is especially important. It can honor God or can be very worldly and lead us into temptation.
What about our conversation? Do we listen to a off-color joke by one of our coworkers or do we try to steer the conversation to please God?
Radio, TV, or social media once again can be uplifting or cause us to sin by what we hear. Today let’s make the decision to only listen to things that are pure.
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21
