"I AM THE DOOR"

Our sacrifices do not save us, neither our charities, nor our fasting,
Or religions,or The Commandments, or prayers, religion’s songs,
good deeds, going to church, confessing our sins… will save us!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
I think you are crazy!
Why are you saying that nothing of these is good?
Wait a minute!
I didn’t say it’s bad! What I am saying is that some of these
things are to try to please God, and to comfort our spirits, but,
The truth is that:
NOTHING OF THESE SAVE US! If some of these could save us,
IT WOULDN’T BE NECESSARY CHRIST to DIE FOR US!
Then: Could you tell me, what can I do to be saved?
Do? Nothing!
Just to give God an opportunity to help you!
Oh no my friend! Definitely: You got some loose screws!
How am I going to give God an opportunity if He has them all?
If He really wanted to help me, He would have done it!
I go to church every Sunday, and I try to obey his Commandments!
And, do you succeed obeying them?
No! To tell you the truth, I don’t! It is very hard!
And do you want to know why? Because we are weak!
Look: when we try to fast or to go on a diet, we want to eat all the
forbidden things, the bigger our intention is, the bigger the temptation,
and we loose! The Commandments are God’s Laws that we do not
obey, our flesh is weak and it is attracted by sin, with greater strength
than ours, and at the end, we become violators of God’s Laws!(Sinners)
besides, the Commandments are to measure the degree of sinners we are!
When Jesus came to this world, divided all the Commandments in only
Two: Love God with all your mind, all your strength, and all your heart,
and the second one: Love people as you love yourself! Romans 13:9.
If we obey these two Commandments, we will be obeying all of them,
Because if we love people we are not going to steal from them or kill
them, or insult them, or hurting them in any way, but to love them!
And help them to get closer to God!
Oh come on! We came back to the same thing!
If we do all these, could we be saved?
No! We could not!
Why?
Because due to the sin nature we have, it is for us extremely difficult
to do it! And if we cannot do it, we cannot be saved by our own!
However: When God closes the exits, always leave a “Escaping way!”
I AM THE DOOR! Says Jesus! John 10:9.
Oh God! Now I don’t know what to think!
Is Christ or not in the religion of mine? That is the reason I go to church every Sunday, to get close to Him!
My friend, let me tell you:
Christ is everywhere as you may know, but the purpose is not just
to find Him, but to invite Him to enter into your heart!
LET HIM IN! And keep Him with you forever!
Who obeys me, says Christ is because he loves me!
To obey Christ is to love God
To love God is to love people!
When we accept Christ God puts inside us his Holy Spirit!
Christ Spirit! To help us and guide us thru our lives.
IT IS NOT A CHRISTIAN WHO DOES NOT HAVE CHRIST’S SPIRIT!
Romans 8:9.
Then… Do you accept Christ as your Savior?
Yes I do! I accept Him!
Then… TELL HIM! IT HAS TO BE PERSONAL!
BETWEEN YOU AND HIM!
And.. If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and you believe
in your heart that God rise Him from the dead, you will be saved!
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confess his faith unto salvation! Romans 10:9 and 10.
Christ is knocking at our doors, but we are so busy trying to find
God in heaven that we do not hear Him!
Go ahead! Run! Open up the door of your heart!
YOU WILL BE SAVED!

PRAISE THE LORD!
