THE SAVIOUR

Mat 1:21

Many do not realise the horrors of sin, so they toy with it. Rom 6: 23

This is not just physical death, but then in every form, physical, emotional, marital etc.

One penalty for sin is death. God’s penalty for sin is death, not 3 months imprisonment, not 5 years imprisonment but death.

John 5:2-14. What can sin bring into a man’s life?

This man tried 38 times to be healed and failed. Jesus told the man, go and sin no more lest a worse thing happen to you.

Look at what sin had done to the man.

He was a living dead, not buried but useless.

Stagnant life, no progress

He was in bondage because of sin and hopeless.

This man was defeated 38 times, lonely and forsaken

He must have been a sad man. Psalm 16: 4

Struggling for survival. Job 15: 20

Sin is horrible, that is why there is joy in salvation.

All the devastation of sin can be reversed in one day

The man was healed and forgiven. He stopped failing, hope came, peace came and joy into his life. 1 Pet 2: 24

You should know that the devil is a bad master. Rev 12:11 But they overcame him by the blood of the lamb.

For 13 years I was running away from home because of witches and wizards, till I met Jesus. When Jesus comes, you receive peace,. Isa 48: 22. John 14: 27

Prov. 28:13. If you continue to cover your sin, you cannot prosper. 

There can be no salvation without genuine repentance. Luke 13: 2-5, 2 Pet 3: 9

You will become a new creation completely. With a change inside-out. 2 Cor 7: 10, 2 Cor 5: 17

When a man comes to me and ask what can I see about his future. I simply ask him if he is a child of God. If he said no, I will tell him, Isaiah 3: 10-11 says you should tell the righteous, it shall be well with him.

But when you are not a child of God, it shall be ill with you. There is no future for you unless you become a child of God. 

The choice is yours.
