"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?... Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:... For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me upon a rock... Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart:" Psalm 27:1,3,5,14

"Has someone seen Christ in you today?

Christian, look to your heart, I pray;

The little things you have done or said-

Did they accord with the way you prayed?

Have your thoughts been pure and words been kind?

Have you sought to have the Savior's mind?

The world with criticizing view

Has watched; but did it see Christ in you?

Submission to God

How should we seek the Lord?

Jeremiah 29:13

Our sinful nature separates us from God but the desire of His heart is that we should earnestly seek Him. It is only when the whole heart is surrendered that we can be restored into His likeness.

What is our condition without God's intervention?

Ephesians 2:1 Jeremiah 17:9

God desires to heal us and to set us free from the bondage of sin. The battle we fight against self is the greatest battle we will ever fight. The giving of ourselves by turning over all to the will of God is a struggle. Our heart must be willing to respond to God before it can be made new and holy.

What invitation given by God allows freedom of choice?

Isaiah 1:18

The way God rules over us is reasonable and appeals to our conscience. "Come now let us reason together" is the Creators invitation to us. God does not force us to follow Him against our will.

What must we be willing to do when we come to the Lord?

Luke 14:33

When we give ourselves to God it is necessary for us to give up all things that would separate us from Him. Anything that draws our heart away from God must be given up. We cannot be half God's and half the world's. We are only God's when we give all. But isn't it worth it, in comparison with all that Jesus gave up for us!

Can we earn way to heaven?

Ephesians 2:8,9

When Christ lives in our hearts, our soul will be so filled with His love and with the joy of being close to Him that we will cling to Him. When we think of Him we will forget about ourselves, and love to Christ will be the reason for obedience. Those who feel the powerful love of God do not ask how little they may do to, but how much they can do for their Savior!

So what has Christ done that we might be saved?

Isaiah 53:5,6

Do you feel like it is sacrificing too much to give everything to Jesus? The Son of God gave all; He gave His life, His love; He suffered so that we can be saved! Can we look at Jesus, who died for our sins, and still be willing to reject His love and great sacrifice for us?

Why should we feel sorrow and shame for our sins?

Isaiah 53:12

Jesus was the perfect, sinless Prince of heaven and yet for us He was counted with transgressors and bore our sins. When we give all, we give Jesus our sinful dirty heart, and He cleanses us and gives a new heart and puts His spirit within us. Praise God for His abundant mercy!

When we come to the Lord what should be our goal in all things?

Matthew 6:33

No real joy can found by seeking the pleasures of this world. When we come to the Lord He does not ask us to give up anything that is good for us to keep. In all that He does, He is always looking out for the good of His children.

What promise can we claim as children of God? Philippians 4:19 The true, happy life of the soul is to have Jesus living in it.

How can I become a child of God?

Joshua 24:15

Will all be saved who desire to be? Matthew 7:21 Desires for goodness and holiness are right as far as they go, but if you stop there they will not bring you any results. Many will be lost hoping desiring to be Christians. They do not come to the point of giving their will to God. They do not make the choice to really become followers of Jesus. By giving up your will to Christ, you connect yourself with the power that is above all kingdoms and all other powers. You will have strength from above to hold you secure, and by always surrendering to God you will be given the ability to live a new life of faith. It is our hope and deepest prayer that you will surrender your life to Jesus today(and everyday); and find the joy, peace, and happiness that comes from being a follower of the Great Shepard! printer friendly version
