HEARTFELT BIBLE DIRECTION, PART 2

When I was a teenager, I can recall hearing my  aunts talking about, You must be Saved."  One day,  

a few years ago, my cousin told me,  " I got Saved" last night  church. I had no idea what either

 of my relatives were talking about. 

 I was attending a new church when I was a young mother. They had a fantastic Children's Church. 

I was still getting used to the way they performed their church services. They had a choir and 

musical instruments like drums and guitars. The choir sang contemporary Gospel songs.

The church members clapped their hands when they like the pastor's comments. They said 

they felt, The Spirit." The pastor used the Bib!e often. He even asked the church goers to

 turn to the Scriptures that his sermon was based on.  I had to buy a Bible because I wanted

to keep with and understand the sermon.   I discovered, later, that this type of church was

 called, a Charismatic Church.

I finally got used to their church services. I began to enjoy the sermons. I was  spiritually

moved  by a  sermon one Sunday. I went up front, when the Pastor did an Altar Call.

He asked me if a I wanted to be Saved.  He said that I must say the following

PRAYER OF SALVATION, and believe these Words with all of my  heart:

I AM A SINNER, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS .FOR MY SINS.

I BELIEVE THAT JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD ON THE THIRD DAY.

PLEASE FORGIVE MY SINS AND COME IN TO MY HEART.

I spoke those words and meant every word.  The pastor said that I was 

a new creature and my life would be changed forever. I wasn't sure

what that statement meant.  A few days later, I found out what he

meant. I woke up, and my body and mind felt different. That is not

a good explanation, but it is the best I can do.  I do not live a

perfect sin free life. I'm not perfect  like Jesus Christ. I do

repent andnask for forgiveness, when I do mess up.

Listed below are some  Scriptures which discuss,  being Saved:

Isaiah 45: 22

"Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, 

and there is none else." 

Matthew 24:13

"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that 

shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

 Mark 13:13 

"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth 

not shall be damned."

 Mark 16:16 

"Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, 

and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should 

believe and be saved."

 Luke 8:12 

16.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever 

believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life

17.  "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him might be saved." 

 

 John 3:16-17

"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name

 wrath through him." 

10.  "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of 

his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."

If you are not "SAVED" and and want to be,

 have eternal life."
