The invitation
Today we’ve brought bad news and good news!
The bad news is spoiler alert!
This isn’t a coincidence! You clicked on this page because you’re interested in knowing more, the Lord is extending an invitation to you, according to (John 6:44) No one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws them, this is why we’re very excited!The Good news is you’re alive! And while we’re alive, we can encounter the great opportunity that is being brought to you today.Allow me to ask you something before we continue, who is Jesus?
Our voices have become an echo, people screaming “Jesus saves”, Jesus is loves”, Jesus is king” and son on, but who is He?Do you know who He truly is?
Do you know what He is like?
Do you know what makes Him happy?
Do you know what makes Him sad?
Do you know what makes Him smile?
Do you know what makes Him angry?
Did you even know He had these many sides of Him?He does!Please don’t stop reading, this is getting better!
Allow us to share something that is important to know about Him, let’s start with Him being Three in One, according to (1 John 5:7) “For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the word (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.”How can this be, you might ask?
Let’s think about water, water exists in three states: solid, also known as ice; liquid, which is water; and gas, we call water vapor. These three are three in one.There is only one God, according to (1 Corinthians 8:5-6) ‘For us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things.” It is important to understand that God is one being in three persons.Have you tried reading the Bible and asked yourself “what is this?”, flipped through the pages and gave up within the first three minutes of reading?
no worries! We’re also guilty!
The bible is divided into two parts; the Old Testament and New Testament. In the Old Testament, God created everything, according to (Exodus 20:11) “For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them”, this included humans. When Adam and Eve were created, God placed them in a beautiful place called “the Garden of Eden” God supplied everything they needed, He even gave them authority and dominion, however God asked them for one single thing, (Gen. 2:16-17) “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”Things were going very good for them, but what happens when things are going good in our lives? Our flesh begins to feel bored, sometimes it can get too boring to the point of feeling emptiness; same activities, same people, same food, same routine, same everything! Sadly to say, we tend to search and try things God never asked us to search or try, just to add some excitement in our lives, unfortunately this is exactly what happened to Adam and Eve.
They disobeyed and ate from the forbidden tree God prohibit them from eating causing God’s anger. The book of Genesis tells us how God came to Adam and Eve after they disobeyed and found them hiding, God asked Adam (Gen.3:9) “where are you?”. The bible says God is omniscience which means He is all knowing, why did God ask where Adam was? Does God really know everything? Of course, he does! He knew exactly where Adam physically was, however this question had a spiritual meaning for the life of mankind, it implied a spiritual separation between humans and God.It is important to know that prior to the fall of mankind, God had a perfect relationship with Adam and Eve. The word of God says that God would visit them every single day.
Have you ever asked yourself “how does a loving God throw his lovely creation into such an evil world?”, well, we’ve also asked ourselves that same question but allow us to share that God’s original plan for humanity never included all the evil that we see now. We’re sorry to say this but it was human disobedience that led us to this corrupted, deadly world, the proof is that God himself would visit Adam and Eve daily just so He can have that close relationship He originally created them for.We must know in our hearts that every word that comes out of God’s mouth, He means and shall come to pass. The word God gave to Adam were “the moment you eat, you will die”, this was a warning God was giving to them and they failed miserably! How many times don’t we hear God saying to us “don’t do this or don’t do that”, and we still do it!
The consequence for their disobedience was just as God had warned them, death!
Death entered this earth through a man named “Adam”, it states clearly on (1 Corinthians 15:21-22) “For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.”After the fall of mankind that perfect relationship between God and humanity was broken. Death/Sin caused a wall of separation to be erected between the creature and the Creator where previously there had been none. The Bible emphasizes that sinful man cannot enter God's presence.May we ask? Are you a sinful man or woman?
If you answered with a “yes!” Great job! This means you have a conscience but if you answered “no”, then you just called God a liar, because when we read (1 john 1:10) “If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.”In the beginning, we mentioned we brought good news; the good news continues; there’s a reconciliation with our Lord father God through Christ Jesus (Romans 5:1)
It is through Jesus alone that salvation is available, there’s no other “shortcut” nor other way around it.
(Acts 4:12) says; “there is salvation in NO ONE ELSE! Under all the heaven there is no other name for men to call upon to save them.”After death entered this earth, an urgent intervention was needed, in God’s loving mercy, He sent Jesus his only begotten son to ABOLISH death!
It’s important we understand that because of our sinful nature, we deserve death!
The word says; (Romans 6:23) “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”God isn’t just searching for someone to follow Him like we do on social media, instead he is searching for children who will obey and start a relationship. The meaning for the word “reconciliation” is “the restoration of friendly relations.”Today my dear friend, we ask you to go back into the original design which God created you as and begin a true relationship with Jesus, where He can visit with you every day! Allow Him to guide you, to provide for you, to teach you, to console you, to instruct you. We encourage you to get to know Him for who He truly is not by what others have said about Him.If you made it this far and feel a desire in your heart to partake of the great invitation which is being presented today of accepting the gift of eternal life which is only found in Jesus or if you have accepted him before and have a desire to reconcile, please open your heart say the following prayer:
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that you are the son of God and the only way to God. I believe that you died on the cross for my sins and rose again from the dead that on the cross you were made a curse with every curse that is due to me. I pray that I may be redeemed from the curse and enter into the blessing. Lord I confess any sin committed by me or my ancestors, I ask for your forgiveness and I also forgive every other person. I ask that you send your Holy Spirit to be my comforter and helper that He may help me obey you and do your will in every step of my life. It’s in Jesus name that I believe and receive the things I just prayed this day.Amen
