MY
JESUS I LOVE THEE
To
start 2017 right I have to share the most important thing in life.
That is salvation. Salvation is a free gift from God through Jesus
Christ. In this blog, I want to share with you the many stories of
how God has blessed me. My marriage, children, family,
friends,church, and so much more.
The
most important thing that has happened in my life is getting saved -
giving my life to Jesus. I had always known who Jesus was, just like
I knew who George Washington was. History figures stored away in my
mind.I always believed that God existed, But I did not have a
relationship with him until 1991.
Our
first baby was 3 years old, and she needed to be in church! We had to go to take
her, we certainly wouldn’t let her out of our sight. God had given
her to us, we knew that for sure. As we began attending church
(because it was right for our 3 year old) we heard God’s message.
God didn’t just die on the cross, he did it for me! To live
forever in heaven when I die, I needed to ask Jesus into my heart to
take my sin away. Salvation is not a decision we make in our head. It
is one that comes from the heart!
God’s
forgiveness is free to all who ask.But we must ask.It is As simple
as ABC. Admit that you have done wrong (sinned). Believe that Jesus
died on that cross for your sins. Confess with your mouth that Jesus
is God. And believe in your heart that He can take away your sins and
be your Lord! Just as present is not yours until you receive (open)
it, so salvation is the same. Waiting to be accepted. Thank you God
for saving me!!
Romans
10:9 King James Version
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.
Ephesians 2:1-9
And
you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now
worketh in the children of disobedience:
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the
lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the
mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
But
God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved
us,
Even
when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ye are saved;)
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus:
That
in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace
in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
My
favorite hymn is:
MY
JESUS I LOVE THEE
My
Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the
follies of sin I resign;
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art
Thou;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
I
love Thee because Thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my
pardon on Calvary’s tree;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns
on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
I’ll
love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,
And praise Thee
as long as Thou lendest me breath;
And say when the death dew
lies cold on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis
now.
In
mansions of glory and endless delight,
I’ll ever adore Thee
in heaven so bright;
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on
my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
Long
before I loved Jesus, he loved me.
John
3:16 King James Version
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.
Do
you love Jesus? Have you ask him to forgive your sins and save you?
You can right now, where ever you are, just pray and give your life
to Him. You won’t be sorry.
Please
share this with anyone who needs Jesus! By the way, we ALL need
Jesus! If you have asked Jesus please leave a comment, and give God
all the glory!
