2022 TITANIC

As approach 2020 we need to realize that those of us who have celebrated Christmas, while rejecting Christ we’re having the most foolish kind of fun. It’s like having a party on the sinking TITANIC. It’s just ignoring reality. If people really knew that their eternal destiny was determined by the Christ of Christmas and they had rejected that, I doubt whether there would be much to celebrate.

Jesus put it simply and summed up all of Scripture when he said, “You’re either for me or against me.”

John 3:18, “He that believes on Jesus is not condemned: but he that believes not, is condemned already.”

“Believe” means to accept and trust that (something) is true, especially without proof!

You only have two things here. You’re either condemned to Hell or not condemned, and the issue is whether you believe.

Well you may say « You tell me to believe,

So, what am I supposed to believe to become a Christian! BELIEVE WHAT? »

*Believe,Admit, and Agree you are a sinner.

*Believe, Admit, and agree you are alienated from God, and must truly repent and turn from your sin.

*Believe, Admit and Agree that you are “condemned already” and need a pardon.

*Believe, Admit and Agree that you need to repent (turn your back from sin) and produce fruits of obedience.

*Believe, Admit and Agree that Jesus took your punishment on the cross as your substitute, and is waiting to pardon you.

*Believe, Admit, and Agree that God’s justice was satisfied by the fact that God raised Jesus…from the dead. And when God raised Him from the dead He was saying, “I am satisfied.”

*Believe, Admit and Agree, that the evidence that you are truly a believer is that you produce “fruits of obedience.”

That’s what you believe. That’s the gospel.

And when you believe that by faith, simply trusting God, He, in His mercy takes the righteousness of Jesus Christ and credits it to you because your sins were credited to Christ when He died on the cross.

In 2 Corinthians 5:21 we read

“GOD made JESUS who did not know sin to be sin for US, so that WE might become the righteousness of GOD in Him. “

In Acts 2:37-38, after hearing the gospel the people became aware of their guilt as sinners and said, “What shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

In Luke 18:14, the repentant sinner said, “God be merciful to me a sinner.”

So, if you truly repent, place your faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross like these folk did, God will also hear you, and your life will be transformed in a moment.

If your faith is weak ask Him to help you to believe. If you need more information read the Gospel of John, and ask God to teach you the truth of Christ.
