BECOMING A BOLD EFFECTIVE WITNESS PT 3

BECOMING A BOLD EFFECTIVE WITNESS PT 3

Salvation is simply acknowledging, and receiving, what God achieved, through the resurrection, of Jesus Christ, from the dead - the gift of life. But, with UNDERSTANDING of what that means, and WHY Jesus was obedient, to go to the cross, comes an understanding that depth of RELATIONSHIP, for all of eternity, is truly the GOOD NEWS of the Gospel. God desires relationship. That doesn’t come through a church. It comes through relationship! With HIM and with ONE another. We love the one in front of us… because HE does. Our love is our witness. ~ by David Smith

Concerning the Prayer of Salvation

“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.”  

Jesus (Yahshua) said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" 

Jesus (Yahshua) said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him." 

Praying and obeying is the way forward. Allow Holy Spirit to order your steps and lead you to your next divine appointment.

Be sure and let them know how much the Father loves them, and be willing to sacrifice the time necessary to lead them by the hand to the door and table that is open and set before them in the Father’s house.

How to lead people to salvation, the Kingdom and Eternal life.

Nicodemus came to Yahshua by night and said, we know that you come from GOD, for no one can do the signs (attesting miracles) you do unless GOD is with them. Ref. John 3:1-2 LSB

Jesus (Yahshua) answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot SEE the kingdom of God." v. 3

Nicodemus asked, how can an old man enter back into his mother's womb. Ref. John 3:4 LSB 

Jesus (Yahshua) answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of WATER and the SPIRIT he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (Yahweh) Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ v.5

Note: Some teach that Yahshua was suggesting that you must be baptized in water and the Spirit in order to be born again.

This passage of Scripture is talking about being twice born, or born of a woman (natural birth) and born of Holy Spirit. (spiritual rebirth)

Then there are those who have suggested that being born of the water could  imply being born of the WORD and that by HOLY SPIRIT. 

so that whoever believes will in HIM have eternal life. v.15

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. v.16

You / We are included in the whoever of this generation who have and are believing unto salvation, seeing, and entering the Kingdom, and experiencing Eternal Life. 

The Scripture teaches that if you / we confess or acknowledge the Sovereignty or Lordship of Yahshua with our mouth, and truly believe in our heart that Yahweh raised Him from the dead, that we are in reality saved. Ref. Romans 10: 9-10 & 13

that if you confess with your mouth Jesus (Yahshua) as Lord, and believe in your heart that God (Yahweh) raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, leading to righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, leading to salvation. v.9-10

for “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” v.13 LSB

The Scripture also confirms what Yahshua and the apostles of the Lamb taught that is speaks to the importance of repenting and being baptized in the name of Yahshua and being filled with Holy Spirit.

Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (Yahshua Messiah) for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call." Acts 2:38-39 NKJV
