“Look Unto Me, and Be Saved…”

“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else” (Isaiah 45:22 KJV)

Few years ago, I had the privileged to visit London, England. One of our itineraries was to visit the church of Charles Haddon Spurgeon. He was the prince of preachers during his time. The chapel was so beautiful and I noticed that the caption up in the stage was still the same as what I have heard. They never changed the caption since the time of Charles H. Spurgeon. It says: “Look unto me, and be ye saved…” The Lord has the same message to every generation. And it has not changed… “Look unto Him (God) by faith and be saved.” In (Isaiah 42:18) “Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.” “Hear, ye deaf” No way!!! “… and look, ye blind,” Impossible! That could be the conclusions of the unbelieving world. Those are the words and the remarks that you will hear from the sarcastic! We can’t press things like that in their ears. But the message has not changed for every man and woman in the world. You may not be deaf and blind physically, but you are deaf and blind spiritually.

If you don’t have the Lord Jesus Christ in your heart; no doubt, you are deaf and blind in the sight of God. That’s what the Bible says! How can it be? How can those things be possible? Sounds like the same questions Mary asked when she was confronted by an angel about Jesus being born through her. (Luke 1:30- 35) It’s not impossible with God to save a man or a woman like you. Just look up to God by faith!

Why Too Many Religions?

Someone asked me; "Why is it that there’s a lot of religion in the world? Do you need a religion to go to heaven or the religion just needs you?" Let us cross examine the true meaning of religion. If religion could give us real peace, joy, satisfaction, happiness and salvation, why is it then that the world is still longing for such. If religion is the answer to the spiritual need of men, why is it then that there are millions and millions of people who have religion, but still living an empty life and with spiritual emptiness?

What is the Meaning of Religion or True Religion?

What is the meaning of religion? What is the root word of religion? What is the difference between religion, and the teaching of the Holy Bible? How would you relate religion to belief and the church? The word Religion comes from the 2 Latin words which are “Re” - “Again” and “Legeo” - “To Tie” from which we get the word “Religion” meaning “To tie again”. What are we going to “tie again” or to which are we going to be “tied again”? To whom are we going to be “tied again” or tied back? The Bible said; “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16 KJV)

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6 KJV) Our broken relationship with God by sin in the Garden of Eden, when man was tempted by Satan can only be restored or tied back by the death and by blood of the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world. John said; “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29 KJV)

Our Journey with Jesus

“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” (James 1:6) KJV

“Hitting an "air pocket" means that the lift under the wings is reduced, causing the plane to drop. This would only occur for about one or two seconds max, after which the pilot should be able to regain control. Keep in mind you are flying at 6 miles up and the drop would only be a few hundred feet, so it is very unlikely that this would cause a crash. It is actually pretty shocking when it happens - It feels like when you are on the downward slope of a roller coaster, but it is a very rare occurrance.” Yahoo Answers

We have air pockets in our flight… Life is like a roller coaster ride, it’s full of ups and down. We must be firm and determined because the roads are not always smooth, sometimes they’re rough. The sailings are not always great; there will be waves, big waves that will disturb our life, our family, our dreams and vision. But we must be firm, strong, and persevere. God knows what’s before us, and He will never leave us or forsake us. We must keep our eyes of faith focus on Him!

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2 KJV)

We Are Precious in the Sight of God

“And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.” (Genesis 2:7 KJV)

We have 10 reasons why we are special and precious in God:

·       God made us out of the dust of the earth.

·       Our immortal soul was from God’s nostrils.

·       We came from God and we were made by His own hand.

·       We will all return in His hand after death.

·       He created us with a purpose.

·       God’s desire is to have an intimate relationship with us.

·       God wants us to be responsible and be blessed.

·       God placed us where He wanted us to be.

·       God has a special designed for each individual.

·       God created us in His image and He knows our physical structures, every vein, every flow of blood, and every functions of every parts of the body.

The Lord knows our basic needs and our emotions too. He knows that we can’t be happy with just plants, trees and animals in our side. He knows we need someone who will understand our needs and our desires. He knows we need someone that we can talk to, and express our emotions in many different ways. God knows that we need someone who will listen to us to make us happy and fulfilled. The Bible says you’re special, notice what it says; “13- For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. 14- I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” (Psalm 139:13- 14 KJV)
