It is true that there are some who do not need to respond. But on the other hand, there are those who need to respond to our Lord’s invitation.
- Those who need to respond need to, today, because they have rejected all the other invitations the Lord has allowed to be extended to them.
- No one has a promise of even one more invitation after this one.
It is important that this one be taken seriously.
Examine yourself, assess your spiritual condition, submit to God’s will and you can be forgiven of the sins you have committed and be saved. We instruct as all have been commanded to obey, believe in God (Hebrews 11:6) and His Son, Jesus the Christ (Matthew 16:16).
We exhort you to “repent and turn to God” (Acts 26:20) and to “confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord” (Romans 10:9).
In Acts 2 we read of “those who had received” the words of God’s message through Peter and how they “were baptized” (Acts 2:38, 41).

To say that God's power is amazing is an understatement. Our words and mental capacities can not fathom the power of our Creator. By just reading through the Bible it…

The apostle John wrote in 1 John 4:18, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.”
As we talk about being the hands of Jesus, someone might be misled to think that we intend for Christians to do the impossible. There were quite a bit of things Jesus did that we are not capable of doing.
We must seek to be gentle people, even in the most trying times. Not because we are weak or cowardly, but because we are humble, we have placed our strength under God's control.
Do we want Christ's gifts without the Cross? Do we seek to use Him instead of asking Him to use us as He sees fit? If He does not rule over all of my life then He is not truly my King.
