How do you claim this gift?? Just recognize you're a sinner and ask for forgiveness.
1John 1:9”If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness”
Accept Christ as Lord and Saviour.
Philippians 2:11”And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord”
He's even left the Holy Spirit to be your Comforter and Guide until that blessed day when He comes to take His disciples to His Father's glorious kingdom. You even have His very own words recorded for you; you have an account of His life, the lives of His disciples and what He requires of you, .It's all written in the Bible.
2Timothy 2:16”All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”
All you have to do is read it and live by it.
And now since the truth has been revealed to all Man, God will hold us responsible on judgment day for our decision, be it to follow Christ and live a life of righteousness or please ourselves and dwell in sin!
Romans 14:10”For we will all stand before God's judgment seat”
Some of you may think, He's promised life after death but what about this life?? It's so tough .It's just an endless struggle. I often feel it's just not worth it, I just want to give up!!
Well take courage my friend, Jesus himself suffered. He's been in our shoes and is all too familiar with the ways of this world
Hebrews 2:18”Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted”
He gives us only as much as we can bear and is always with us.
1Corinthians 10:13”No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful: he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it”
So no matter how hard it gets, remember you're not alone. However hard the present seems, you have hope for a bright future!!!!
ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST-CAN YOUR FUTURE GET ANY BRIGHTER???
