Animals are led by a rope around their neck. Willingly, Jesus was led from the Garden the same way. Today the Holy Spirit wants to lead us in everything we do. The problem comes with our old nature, we want to do everything our own way. Ago is the Greek word for led and/or to lead. It is the root word for Agon and where we get the word agony. When we gave our life to Christ we were sealed with the Holy Spirit and agape love was imputed. Every morning I open my closet and decide what I am going to wear. Then I get dressed.
I also have a closet within me that holds a love that only comes from God. If I don't open it and dress myself from my heart closet, the agape love won't do a lot of good. I believe most Christians in our churches choose not to be led and may not know when God is talking to them. That is what motivates this blog.
BEING BORN FROM ABOVE
While there is no special formula to follow to be born from above, there are certain things we must know and do.
What we must know:
> That we are sinners who are hopelessly lost and under condemnation of death. Spiritual death is everlasting separation from God in Hell.
> We cannot save ourselves by any effort of our own.
> That Jesus Christ, God's Son, died on the cross and rose from the dead to pay the penalty of our sin.
What we must do:
> Admit to God that we have sinned, and deserve the penalty of death.
> Receive Jesus as our personal Savior.
> Acknowledge Christ as our Savior and Lord by confessing Him with our mouth.
What God will do:
> Make us safe.
> Forgive all our sins.
> Give us eternal life.
Do you want to be sure? If so, pray something like this (or use your own words).
Lord Jesus, I have sinned against you, and I deserve hell. I believe You died in my place to pay the penalty for all my sins. Right now, be merciful to me and save me. I trust you as my Lord and Savior and commit my life to you. Amen.
If you received the Lord as your Savior - e-mail me.
