Are You Saved?

Good morning to you, brothers and sisters. I
want to challenge everyone that reads this,
to do something for me this week. I would
like you to lead someone to the Lord. Yes,
lead someone to the Lord this week. I
would like you to pray for someone who
simply believes that unless they are perfect,
they cannot be saved, and I would like you
to agree with them. Then I would like you
to confess a sin to them. Do not say, “I am a
sinner”, actually confess a sin to them. I
know that you have at least one. If you want
someone to have faith in God, show them
that you have faith. Here, I will start. I
sometimes lust in my heart. After you
confess a sin to them, you will have the
opportunity to explain how you are perfect,
even though you have sinned. According to
Hebrews 10:14, we have been made perfect
and are being made holy, because of Jesus’
sacrifice. A Christian is not being made
perfect because he is holy. No, he is being
made holy because he is perfect. Have you
ever seen the bumper sticker, “I am not
perfect, just forgiven”? The truth is that if
you are forgiven, you are perfect, and being
made holy. Before you start to argue with
me, “Are you without sin”? Before you
answer, read 1 John 1:8-10. I believe this is
a good place to start. Next, Romans 8:9.
Notice the statement, “you will be saved”.
Put Matthew 28:19-20 into practice,
baptizing and teaching them to obey Him.
Finally, have them do the same for someone
else. Love – Pastor
