Being Saved - Lisa Patterson


Today our subject is Being Saved. Matt. 16:25 says whosoever wants to save his life will lose it. And whoever wants to lose his life will save it. You must give yourself to God so he can save you and the price you pay is to lose your life in order to gain your new life in Christ Jesus. >Matt. 19:25 says it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven. In today's standards almost everyone of us in America are rich compared to when this was written. So, riches won't get you to Heaven. Let go of all your riches cause you can't take them with you.Luke 19:10 says the son of man has come to save the world. God loves the whole world so much that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever would believe on him might be saved. He sent his son to the world not to condemn the world but so that all might be saved through his grace. He loves us so much that he did that for us. Mark 16:16 says whosoever believes in his heart that Christ rose from the dead for him and is baptized will be saved. The heart here is the spiritual being(person0 will be made whole again. Act 2:21 says to call on the name of the Lord and he will in no wise cast you out. Act 16:30 says the believe in the Lord and be saved. You must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. Not halfheartedly.

Ephesians 2:8 says by grace you are saved and not works of your own, but through faith. Nothing you did or didn't do will get you saved. You must let Christ do it all for you. I Timothy 2:4 God wants everyone to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Mark 10: 14 says that whoever doesn't enter the Kingdom of God like a little child doesn't enter it. You can only come by humbly as a child. God loved the world so much that whosoever believeth on him shall be saved.That is for each and every one of us no matter what we've done or not done. It is well with thee after you have repented and come to the Lord. There are no favorites with God. He is willing to save anyone!! He wants everyone to have the same chance. He will wash your sins away and make you whole again. No one is too great or too bad to come to the Lord. He loves us that much.John 3:17 says you must be willing to lose your life in order to save it. You are not your own anymore once you have decided to come to Christ. So give your life to Him today and let him wash your sins away and take care of all your problems and change you and make you whole again. He died on that Cross for you so you might live and yet there are people going to Hell everyday because they don't want to hear this word. So don't be one of them who won't make it to Heaven. For God is love, I Corinthians 13:1 and is says Love is kind, patient, not selfish, never fails, trusts, is not proud, doesn't boast, and is not self seeking, not easily angered and not rude. It keeps no record of wrong doing, and is always protective. Love helps us see through things too. So come to Christ today. He is the answer and will always be there and will never leave you nor forsake you.
