my NOTES:
Truth…
Is there such a thing as absolute truth?
Yes.
The human conscience is that certain something within us that tells us
… the world should be a certain way
… that some things are right
… and some things are wrong
Our conscience convinces us there is something wrong with suffering, pain & evil.
And it makes us aware that love, generosity, compassion and peace are positive things for which we should strive.
The Bible describes the role of the human conscience (Romans 2:14-16). God has revealed His truth to us through His Word—the Bible. Knowing absolute truth is only possible through a personal relationship with the One who claims to be the Truth = Jesus Christ.
Jesus is
… the only Way
… the only Truth
… the only Life
… and the only path to God
The fact that absolute truth does exist points us to the truth that there is a sovereign God who created the heavens and the earth.
God revealed Himself to mankind in order that we might know Him personally—through His Son Jesus Christ.
That is the absolute truth!
And there is nothing more essential to the world than the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Central to our Christian faith, we must embrace and share the Gospel with others.
… 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
… 1 Corinthians 15:51-55
… John 14:1-3
… 1 Corinthians 1:18
… the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ
… His death on the cross for sinners
… His resurrection to everlasting life
… and His soon return
The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God
Jesus is returning!
Are you saved?
Jesus is God in flesh form.
Jesus was born of a virgin.
He died on a cross to save us from our sins.
He led a perfect life to be the perfect sacrifice for you and me.
He resurrected three days later to show His power over death!
Jesus is the only way to Heaven.
Time is short.
Accept Jesus offer of salvation today.
Here are the ABC’s for becoming a Christian.
A – Admit –
Admit to God that you are a sinner.
Repent, turning away from your sin.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
B – Believe –
Believe that Jesus is God’s Son
and accept God’s gift of forgiveness from sin.
“While we were sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
C – Confess –
Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord.
“If you will confess with your mouth,
‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart
that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved.” Romans 10:9
God will give a saved person a new heart and mind.
The Holy Spirit will cause us to repent.
A saved person will see fruits in their life.
Galatians 5:22-25
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Here is a prayer you can pray to God::
Dear God,
thank You for choosing to love me!
I know I am a sinner.
I believe You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die for my sins.
I believe He rose again and lives today.
Today I open my heart and life to You and I receive You as my Lord and Savior.”
Thank You for Your wonderful love and for changing my life forever.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.
Here is a link to an online Bible.
I suggest you start with the book of John.
Praying to God and reading the Bible
is how we get to know Him and what He expects of us.
God bless!
