You never know when your time is coming. You never know when death is going to come. God has not told us the day or the hour that we’re going to die, but you’re going to die. “It is appointed for men to die once” (Hebrews 9:27).
Then there’s spiritual death. Many of you are spiritually dead. That means your soul, your spirit, is dead toward God. You don’t have fellowship with Christ. You don’t walk with Him. You might go to church. You’ve been baptized. You might take communion. But deep down in your heart, you know that Christ is not there, or you’re not sure. You’re not sure that your sins are forgiven. You can make sure by coming to Christ.
“God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). That can be yours. You can be a new person, a new man, a new woman, if you put your faith in Him.
God loves you. He wants to forgive you, if you will let Him come into your heart. The Bible says, “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). Will you do that? Will you open your heart and let Him in?
Prayer
Dear Lord, I acknowledge that I am a sinner in need of forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross to take the punishment that I deserve for my sins and that You were raised from the dead. Please forgive me of my sins and come into my heart and life as my Savior and Lord. From this day forward, please be glorified in and through me. Thank You for Your amazing grace. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
