You Are Saved By Grace, But You Must Choose Who You Serve. The Most Powerful Force in Your Life is Exercising Your Will.
Every action that you take reflects the essence of your character. You have the power to choose whom you will follow: satan or Jesus.
By the time you are old enough to make a choice of who you will serve, you have already spent your entire life living in sin. Your beliefs and behaviors, and opinions, and negative drives, disappointments, fears, and betrayals, have all been influenced by the world’s system…satan’s system.
To accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior is the most important action in the exercising of your will that you’ll ever make in your entire life.
You were born into a world of sin with absolutely no hope of ever living a life of real victory. You will have to always live with the knowledge that no matter how hard you try you will never be able to have any real lasting peace because of the burden of sin all around you, and in you, tormenting you constantly day after day, without any lasting relief.
The word of God says that ALL of us have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Not one of us is perfect. We all need His forgiveness, and His sacrifice.
I can testify to this burden of torment because I had to make the same decision myself.
You have to really hear the message of Jesus. You have to hear how He came and died on the cross for your sins so that you would not have to pay the price of death for your sins. You have to believe what you’ve heard and that you are saved by grace. You have to then exercise your will and just say Yes!
Let Him know that you believe that He came and bore your sin by dying on the cross, and that He rose from the dead, and now sits at the right hand of God.
This is also wonderful, that God and Jesus sent the precious Holy Spirit down to the earth to walk alongside us, lead us, guide us, teach us, and help us to learn to walk in the truth of the word of God.
God and Jesus promised to never leave or forsake us once we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
Use your will today and choose to accept you are saved by grace. Just say, “Yes, Lord! Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior.”
I promise you, you will never regret your decision to finally use your will by saying these words:
YES, LORD, I NEED YOU TO COME INTO MY LIFE AND BE MY LORD AND MY SAVIOR.
