(The following message was true inspiration from God and written by the hands of angels, with the human help of Uplifter Member, LINDA/A-SUPERTYPER.
This is the most dynamically true spiritual piece I have read and been blessed by in a long time.)
John 3:3 says that you MUST be born again to see the Kingdom of Heaven.
How do you get born again?
The Bible shows us this in Romans 10:
If you believe in your heart that Jesus died and was raised from the dead, and confess with your mouth that He is (your) Lord, you shall be saved.
For with the heart man believes and with the mouth confession is made UNTO salvation.
But that's not where it ends, that is just the beginning, for once you truly mean it from your heart and confess Him as your Lord with your mouth, you are required by God to live your life for Him. You will always be yourself, for God made you with your very own, unique personality.
But now it's time to read your Bible, Yes, I did say, "read your Bible" because in the new testament is where you will find out what God requires of us to maintain our salvation.
Friends, there is NO such thing as being saved once, going back out and living the world's way, in sin, and still having your eternal reservation in heaven, when it's your time to leave this earth. Don't let anyone lie to you and tell you this is just an opinion or a bunch of religion, this is reality, whether you want to believe it or not.
You can't live a sinless life on your own. No matter how good you think you are, as a person, you cannot do it. Not without God, that is. Not without being born again.
What is born again, you ask?
When you believe in your heart Jesus was raised from the dead after He died on that cross for YOU, and you confess this with your mouth and ask Him to be Lord and Savior of your life, do you know what actually happens IN YOU???
The life giving, life strengthening power of God comes into your spirit, quickens it (makes it alive unto God) and gives you a new, softer heart for the things of God.
It's a GLORIOUS TRANSFORMATION in you that NO ONE can duplicate!!!
You are not only promised salvation, which is a personal reservation in heaven when you leave this earth, but salvation also covers being saved, healed and delivered!! (in THIS life)
As you continue to daily seek God, you WILL see that your life changes, your outlook on life changes, your outlook on right and wrong comes into true perspective.
Your spirit becomes ALIVE to the things of God!
Jesus died for YOU on that cross. If you were the only person on this earth, He would have done it just for you. Because He loves you so much.
It's all up to you now. It comes right down to a simple, life-changing decision to receive Jesus into your life on a permanent basis, or to go on in your own way, in a variety of sin and to be controlled by worldly passions.
But I quote what the Lord says in His Bible,
Choose this day whom you will serve. You have the choice to choose life or death, (blessing or cursing) the Lord gives you a hint: "therefore choose LIFE"
If you're not born again, dear friend, and not living for God, the Bible makes it clear, You will NOT spend your eternity in heaven. There is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun. It's truth.
I love you all. I know time is short and soon, Jesus will come for His church. His church are only those who are born again and living to please Him, period. Don't be left behind.
He'll take you just the way you are. No one is too bad to come to Him. Little by little, He will pick you up, clean you up in areas necessary, and show you a more wonderful, fulfilling, exciting way of life. It's a misconception that being a Christian is dull and boring. I have NEVER had this much fun in the world,and I HAD FUN!! I would NEVER go back and back off from God.
Being born again, then backsliding is a far more dangerous thing than never being saved, as you are responsible for more light.
(more knowledge of the truth)
Our God is a good God, a loving God, but there is an enemy out there, and if you don't believe me, read about the Garden of Eden in Genesis.
If you maybe were never told you must be born again to end up in heaven, as the Bible so clearly reveals, or if you've fallen away and aren't living for God, I pray you will pray this prayer out loud and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus,
I do believe that you died on that cross and that you rose again and went into heaven. I ask you to forgive me of all I've done wrong in my life Lord. I am sorry that I haven't been living for you. I ask you for forgiveness Lord. Show me what you want me to do with my life Lord and become involved in my life. I thank you that you love me and that you have forgiven me. I receive you into my life right now. I thank you that my name is now written in the Lamb's Book of Life and You are now securing my reservation in heaven with You, Lord. Thank you that I am now born again, and I'm a child of Yours, in Jesus' name, AMEN!
