A lot of differencein what you do to get married and what u do, because you are married

There is a world of difference in what you do to get married and what you do because you are married. You do not start living together and have children and become a father and a mother to get married. You do that when you have gotten married. You must understand that you get a marriage license, go to the preacher who has authority to marry you, he asks if you take this man/woman to be your lawful mate. You must answer from your heart out loud, "I do" and then he pronounces you husband and wife. Then you live with her and do all those things married couples do. In God's eyes and in our eyes it is the same way about getting saved.

 

You must "understand" (Matt 13:23) like the good seed to produce as you ought. Remember the Ethiopian to whom Phillip went, heard him reading the bible and asked if he understood it. He said, How can I except some man should guide me and he desired Phillip that he would come up and sit with him and "guide him" . And his name is legion today, the many people I find want to know how to get saved. Just yesterday, I had the joy of seeing a lady come to understand how to be saved and had the assurance she was saved and stopped trying to save herself.

 

You do not join a church, get baptized, start tithing, start living a godly life to get saved, you understand the Lord Jesus who knew no sin, suffered and died for your sins on the cross, paid you debt in full, rose again and was seen by hundreds. Remember no one saw Allah or Mohammed nor Budah nor Confucius. pay your debt of sin, rise from the dead and was seen by hundreds of people. Now to be saved you must believe God that Jesus did pay for your sins, rose again and was seen alive by hundreds, then Let God know You believe Him and receive the Lord Jesus as your personal savior. For He is the one authority who can pronounce you saved. Then you confess you have received the Lord Jesus as your Savior, Jesus publicly, get baptized and start living a godly life because you are now saved. Doesn't that make real good sense? "For we are not saved by what we do but by what He did for us. I use thi with almost every person I lead to the Lord and it really helps them undertand how to be saved. May you have a goorious Easter. ABC sumner

Please do not quote Jn 3:16 to lost people, read why not

DO NOT QUOTE JOHN 3:16 TO A LOST PERSON TO TRY TO GET HIM SAVED. Here is why

Daily I get a tract, read a tract directed to lost people to get them saved. THE GOSPEL is the power of God unto salvation. The Biblical, Scriptural, God inspired definition of the gopsel is 1 Cor 15:1-4 "I declare unto you the gospel how Christ died for our sins, was buried, rose again and was seen by hundreds." To not give the lost that most often will lead to a false profession that wont last very long.

Today I received a $1,ooo,ooo,ooo. dollar bill. I saw one a couple of years ago and pointed out that IT DID NOT HAVE THE GOSPEL on it at all. They were shocked. Most are not discerning of this. They told the authors and they came out with a revised edition and on it they have John 3:16 and not a bit of 1 Cor. 15:1-4. I would not give that to a dog. It has no gospel and so do about one half of the tracts published. How terrible. People get under conviction and then they are told to "give your heart to Jesus." NO, NO, NO. We are not told to"give" God any thing but to "believe" and "receive" the Lord Jesus as our Savior. No wonder we have multitudes of church memebers who have never been born again. I talked to one last week.

Hundreds have asked me "how do you see so many people get saved?" Simple, I give the GOSPEL OVER AND OVER for IT is the power of God unto salvation. I hope you catch this and give the gospel to lost people. More on this Fri. Today, I am following up the nurse who got Saved last Wed. She is beaming with the joy of the Lord. Oh, the heavenly ecstasy of seeing this happen over and over. My, how it GLORIFIES the Lord Jesus.

Pray for Celeste, she is still very weak, hurting, and I HURT all over for her.

You have not because you ask not" PRAY FOR SOULS, then give them the gospel

 

Pray and preach what God asked you to pray for

We pray for Joe's toe, and Jacks back, and James pains because they asked us to pray that and that is fine. BUT we MUST pray for what God asked us to pray daily not once a year.. Make sense?

God asks us to pray for "all men" that is 7 billion--"that they might be saved" 1 Tim 2:4. To not do so is disobedience to God! Right? PRAY for Kings.( that is our President) again "that they might be saved" make sense? Pray for "all in authority" that they might be saved if not already saved. Make sense? With all the anti-Christian decisions and laws being passed we MUST pray for the judges, law makers in Washington etc. YOU and I must pray like God told us or we are sinning and wont get our others prayers answered, make sense? All bible believing preachers and people right now feel this is the most critical time of our lives and must call on god till intervene. 2 Chron 7:13,14.15. please, Please, PLEASE take this seriously for yours AND your children's sake if nothing else. MAKE SENSE?

Oh I love you dear people and pray for YOU daily and for what you ask. NOW pray for what God asks us. "Pray without ceasing" ABC Sumner
