"TIME IS RUNNING OUT"

   My friend, all the signs of the time indicate that time is running out.  Everyone need to be prepared to meet God in eternity.  Are you?  Here is God’s simple plan of salvation.

God’s Simple Plan of Salvation

  Let me ask you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you are ready to meet God in eternity?

God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be born again.”

You can be saved today. How?

      You must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God.

   But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. “ . . . He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of  God in Him. {2 Cor. 5:21}

    In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “ . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe on (put your faith in) the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved . . . .’ ”

  By simply putting your faith in Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life.

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13). Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved.

      Right now, wherever you are,  lift your heart to God in prayer and ask Him to forgive you of your sin and give you eternal life.  By God’s own promise, He will do it.

Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved.  Remember, God does the saving. All of it!

   Now that you are a child of God, you need to:

  • Pray -- you talk to God.
  • Read your Bible -- God talks to you.
  • Witness -- you talk for God.

You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as a public testimony of your salvation, and then unite with a local Bible-believing church without delay. “Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord . . . .” (2 Timothy 1:8)   God does not want you to be alone in your walk of faith.  You need to be united with other believers in a Local New Testament Church.

    If you would like to talk to someone about this decision or have someone pray with you, please call me at 817 – 966-9909 or you can email me at Starfishaba@aol.com.

November, 2009 Greetings in Jesus Name, Deut. 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deut. 31:6 The Leadership of our blessed Lord is truly a wonderful thing. We truly serve a God that is able to lead us in the paths that will honor and glorify His name. It is so exciting to be a part of a ministry that God is blessing. We give our Blessed Lord all the glory. The month of October kept us very busy. We were able to be a part of our church in Cumberland Cove, Tennessee. I was a guest speaker for the Mission Training Ministry at our school in Little Rock, AR. We also had the opportunity to visit the Spring Creek Baptist in Benton, AR . We was able to attend the Hopewell Association and the Central Association in Texas. We are getting great reports from the Pilot churches that participated in the CHOSEN PROGRAM. They are reporting souls being saved. Praise the Lord! We have reports of the un-churched and lost that are attending these home groups. Also, past church members are coming back to the house of the Lord. Amen! We will be in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area for the months of November and December. If we can come by your church and give a report, please give us a call. God is so good and we thank him for all the prayers and support from the individuals and churches. We are about 80% of what we need to give this ministry our full time attention. If this is a ministry you feel worthy of support and God leads you, we promise to be faithful. On a journey of faith, Larry & Jen Jacobs Please visit our websites at . . . . . starfishaba.com
