THE HURDLE IN YOUR STEP TO ETERNAL LIFE

THE HURDLE IN YOUR STEP TO ETERNAL LIFE
(Romans 10:9- 10) 9- “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10- For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Confess your sins to God and make a U-turn. (I John 1:7- 10) 7- “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8- If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9- If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10- If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”

Someone said; “To confess, it means to say it, to look at it and deal with it as it is.” You don’t confess your sins to an individual or religious leader. You confess your sins to God because we have sinned before Him and we offended Him. When you confess your sins to God, it means you admit your sinfulness and your spiritual condition before Him. Charles H. Spurgeon wrote, “It may be that you are unsaved. Why? Do you think the plan of salvation laid down in our text is untrue? How can that be, when God has pledged His own word? Do you think it is too easy? Why then are not saved?” (Morning and Evening- October 05, Evening)

In (Matthew 3:1- 2) 1- “In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2- And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
