Invitation

Though I am not a theologian or an ordained minister, Yahweh has led me to share the truth of Scripture with others while I seek to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There are three reasons why I blog:

(1) I was instructed to do so by Yahweh.

(2) To attempt to reach more people who do not know the Lord to avoid experiencing firsthand sometime in the future: the sum of all fears – eternal separation from God. This happens whenever someone steps out into eternity without the Holy Spirit living within their heart. At that juncture, there is no future remedy.

(3) To help other believers to be more like Jesus Christ.

One day long ago, I invited Jesus into my heart, and He literally changed the trajectory of my life from eternal destruction to a future eternity with Him in glory. I immediately went 

• from hellbound to heaven-bound, 

• from being lost to saved forever, 

• from an enemy to a son, 

• from a lost sinner to a saved sinner, 

• from spiritual darkness to living in the light, 

• from blindness to now I see,

• from unforgiven to forgiven,

• from without purpose to a purposeful life 

• from without hope to having hope, 

• from not having God in my life to having Him live within my heart, 

• from condemnation to redemption, 

• from cursed to being blessed, 

• from without peace to possessing a peace that passes all understanding, 

• and so much more! 

All of those above are amazing byproducts of salvation (Eph 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Rom 10:13)! Read Billy Graham's, "Steps to Peace with God."

Of all the regrets I have had in my life, I have never once ever regretted asking Jesus to come into my heart and save me from my sins on 1.19.1976 @10:43AM. It was the greatest thing that I had ever done or will ever do, bar none! Yahweh desires all men and women to be saved, but He will not save you against your will (1 Tim 2:4; 2 Pet 3:9). 

After salvation, the next step of obedience is water baptism as a public confession of faith. I recommend a Bible-believing/Bible-behaving evangelical church that is Word-centric and not culturally focused. Let me give you the last words of the Apostle Peter under inspiration in 2 Pet 3:18,

but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen. <><
