GREATER LOVE!
Greater love hath no one then this: Then to lay down one's life for his friends.
You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his
master is doing; But I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard
from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me but I
chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in my name He may give you.
These things I command you, that you love one another.
John 15:13-17
GOD'S LOVE!
For God so loved the world ( Man-kind) that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not parish, but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:16-18
CHRIST'S LOVE!
For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from ( God's ) wrath through Him.
Romans 5:8,9.
YOUR LOVE!
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy; and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have no love, I am nothing.
But through I bestow all my goods to feed the poor; and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:1-3
LOVE!
Love suffers long and is kind; Love does not envy, love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
Does not rejoice in iniquity ( wickedness), but rejoices in truth.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails, but whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8,12.

WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?
SALVATION!
Salvation is a free gift from God! You can't buy it! You can't earn it!
The only way to receive it is to accept it!
IS THAT ALL?
You must acknowledge that you are a sinner and that you need a Savior.
This is called repentance in the Bible.
2 Corin 7:9,10
For Godly sarrow worketh repentance to salvation!
Repentance is simply confessing our sin unto God with Godly sarrow in our heart.
True repentance means a changed heart!
Confess your sins to God! If you want to make sure all your sins are covered, ask for forgiveness for all your
sins, those you are aware of and those you are not aware of!
Once you ask Jesus into your heart, your name will be written in the Lamb's Book Of Life.
You have a home prepared for you in heaven.
You are born again spiritually into the family of God!
DOES THIS MEAN THAT I WILL NEVER SIN AGAIN?
No. But God will no longer deal with you as a sinner but as His son or daughter. As a son/daughter of God,
the Holy Spirit comes to live in you to guide you and help you to do what's right.
WILL THE HOLY SPIRIT OVER POWER MY WILL?
No, you are always free to choose. Each morning you must choose to let Jesus sit on the throne
of your life or let self sit on the throne.
You have a reborn spirit but you still have your old sinful nature. For this reason, the spirit wars against the flesh
( soul & Body ). God may not be pleased with choices you make but He will always love you.
CAN I LOSE MY SALVATION?
No! If you truly meant it when you asked Jesus into your heart, you belong to Jesus forever!
You can lose the joy of your salvation, but you can never lose your salvation.
HOW DO I RESTORE THE JOY OF MY SALVATION?
Always repent of your sins, those you are aware of and those you are not aware of.
Except God's forgiveness. Forgive yourself for stumbling and go on in your Christian walk.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR AND DON"T KNOW HOW; JUST PRAY THIS SIMPLE PRAYER!
Dear God,
I know that I am a sinner and I am sorry for all my sins. Please forgive me. I believe that Jesus is Your Son and that Jesus died for my sins.
Jesus, please come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior.
Thank You Lord for hearing my prayer. I receive Your forgiveness. Thank You for coming into my heart.
In Jesus Precious and Holy name I pray.
Amen.
