Renew your Covenant, your Commitment to Christ

Now the first thing for you to know is that when you call on the name of the Lord for Salvation you are choosing Him, you are putting your life and your soul into His hands. And it is your choice, your decision that leads to this.

Then you are entering into a covenant or commitment with Him that He is your God and you are His Bride, totally devoted and a servant for the remainder of your life here on this earth.

He delivers you from the bondage of sin, He gives you eternal life, He takes away death and Hell from your future.

What do you have for Him? Nothing. What can you do for Him? Nothing.

That realization of the fact that He died for you when it cost Him everything, and you have nothing, yet He still died for you. That realization should make you want to serve Him, should make you want to be His servant, spreading the good news to all your fellow man that need to hear of this God, this Savior.

He does not coerce us to serve, He does so much for us how can we do any less out of love, gratitude and the sheer knowledge of all that He has done? How can we not tell everyone?

I have said a lot lately that when you meet Jesus, truly meet Him you will have a changed life, a changed heart.

A covenant is a solemn and formal agreement, compact, or promise between two or more parties.

Do you hear that? Solemn, Formal agreement.

A formal agreement is one Written (the Bible) signed (His Blood shed) and agreed to.

As I said at the beginning, you agreed to this covenant when you call on His name. Hence you have entered into a covenant, a contract, a commitment with Him.

We have downplayed this part so much, we have made salvation a one way thing.

He owes us!

Oh, The hubris of humans makes their part so very much more important that His. The Architect is considered less than the recipient.

How prideful are we? A question we really need to ponder.

Come and See

Joh 4:39  And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did. 

Joh 4:40  So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. 

Joh 4:41  And many more believed because of his own word;

The woman at the well met Jesus, then turned and told the whole city of the One she met, the One that changed her.

Many believed on Him because of her testimony and then many more believed for they heard Him.

Why do we not testify like this anymore? We do not talk of Jesus, we do not speak of the joy, the Spirit, the Word anymore and we are to be ashamed for that.

Speak to each other of this Jesus, renew Him in your hearts, then once you have a comfortability level of talking of Him, then go out to them and the Spirit will guide.

Post a verse John 3:16 at the very least and have them ask you what that means. Start the conversation.

You don’t have to be glib and smooth. You just have to be willing.

How will they know if you don’t tell them? You may be the only one they will ever hear it from. You may be the one that was assigned to speak to them, if you do not then they may face an eternity in Hell.

Yes I went there, it is time we realize what our inaction and timidity is going to cost them. It is time we realize this is life and death, eternity is at stake.

Stop the spirit of fear, be a witness a light a truth teller and preach the Gospel.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

 The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

We saw today what happens when Good men do nothing. Then when someone dared to speak up and out they kill him for it.

The question is not why.

The question is What are you going to do about the voice silenced? Are you going to raise yours? Are you going to cry out against the evil pervading the land?

Or are you going to allow the silence to stay silent? Fear? Yes be afraid, but courage is doing the right thing despite the fear.

Today a great voice was silent, not a perfect voice but one unafraid to stand speak and debate. He went to their campuses and debated.

We can not allow the silence to grow, nor can we allow it to silence us.

We must speak out, relearn the art of debate, agreeing to disagree but never again silenced.
