Every knee to Him should bow



Related image
GOD in mercy sent His Son
To a world by sin undone;

Jesus Christ was crucified --- 
'Twas for sinners Jesus died.


All who in His name believe,
Everlasting life receive;

Lord of all is Jesus now;
Every knee to Him must bow.



     

"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." 
Philippians 2:9-11.


     Everyone will, at one time or another, bow the knee to Jesus, and acknowledge Him as Lord. While you still have breath in you, you can acknowledge Jesus, right now, as your personal Lord and Saviour. If you believe that Jesus bled and died on Calvary's cross to pay the price for your sins, you have the assurance of spending all of eternity with Him in Heaven. However, if you deny Him now, and die in your sins, you will stand before Him at the Great White Throne of Judgement. "And as it is appointed unto man once to die, and after this the judgement." Hebrews 9:27.

     If you stand before God without having received Jesus, without being cleansed by His blood, you are not seen as cleansed and righteous in God's eyes, you are still in your sins. There is no amount of good works that can pay the debt for your sins. Your name is not written in the book of life unless you have believed on Jesus while you were yet alive.

"Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from His presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books... Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire." 
Revelation 20:11,12,15.


      In spite of what what people may say or think, God's word is very clear; there is only one way to Heaven. Do not be deceived, because "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs 14:12.

 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8,9.

"And anyone who believes in God's Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God's angry judgment." 
John 3:36 (NLT)

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6.


     Please don't neglect the free gift of salvation. Bow your knee to Jesus now, you will have a more abundant, peaceful, joyful life now, and have the assurance of spending all of eternity in Heaven with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

No Condemnation!



Image result for accuser meaning


Though the restless foe accuses,
Sins recounting like a flood;
Every charge our God refuses:
Christ has answered with His blood.




     Our enemy, the devil, is very relentless, and he attacks us in many different ways. "... your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" 1 Peter 5:8. One way he attacks us is through condemnation. This can be done through self condemnation, when we are filled with shame and regret from past sins, or by using others to accuse and condemn us.

     It is so important for Christians to know and be assured of, that once we believed that Jesus died to pay the price for our sins, and have confessed our sins to God and repented of them, that is, not continuing on in sin, but rather, living lives in obedience to God, that we are now seen as clean and righteous in God's eyes. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:1. "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us." Psalm 103:12.

     If you are struggling with self condemnation from sins of your past, believe these promises from God's word. Remember that Satan wants nothing more than to hold you captive with your past. The devil wants to rob you of the joy and peace that comes from communion with the Lord. Don't let him rob you of this! Remember that once you have received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you have been set free from sin and bondage!

     And if you are being condemned and accused by others of your past sins, remember and trust these precious promises of God: "What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." Romans 8:31-34.
