TITLE: HOW TO RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE AND PRESERVE IT

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH, 2021

TEXT: JOHN 3:3-21 (Please refer to your Bible for scripture reference)

KEY VERSE: EZEKIEL 18:21
But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

The way of salvation from sin and hellfire is clearly revealed in the scripture. If you follow the path of salvation shown in the scripture, you will surely be saved. God has never predestined you to eternal damnation. He is merciful to you. Therefore, for your salvation from sin and hellfire, firstly, you must accept that you have sinned against God through disobeying His commandments. You have done many evil things against God, against yourself and your fellow men. By virtue of your sins and wicked deeds, which may be many or few, you are justly condemned by God and are in the number of those doomed for everlasting destruction in Hellfire.

However, God is a merciful God who freely forgives the sin of those that repent and seek His forgiveness. Confess your sins to Him, repent of them and plead with Him to forgive you. Jesus Christ is the only One that can save from sin. You cannot stop sinning by your power without Him. Welcome Him into your life to give you the power to overcome sin. When Jesus comes into your life, He will save you from sin and give you the power of righteousness. Jesus is the universal Savior from sin. When you give your life to Jesus Christ, your sins will be forgiven and you will be given a new life from God. Your name will be entered into the Book of Life in heaven. Surely, you will not want to start committing new sins and to get your name removed from the Book of Life.

After salvation by God, you must determine to continue in Christ by living a righteous life every day to the end of your life on earth. Make sure you have a good Bible. You will need to study your Bible regularly and pray always to God for His grace to live the victorious Christian life. The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth, obey Him. Do not be afraid of man and be not ashamed of following Jesus. Dissociate from evil friends and relationships.
