Gospel Meeting 13/08/2017

“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’s Gospel ch3 vs16.

Contained within this verse is the greatest: lover, degree, number, act, gift, invitation, simplicity, person, escape, difference, certainty and destiny.

The largest known object in the universe is a star so colossal that it is about 14,000 times larger than the Sun!
If one was to travel at 1000mph, it would take about 7 million years to reach it!
In space there are billions of galaxies…

Yet God so loved THIS world – His sight’s are upon all of it's people, His creation!

God wants a personal relationship with YOU!
This is through His Son, The Lord Jesus Christ, who in love came into this world to be the Saviour of sinners.

There are countless millions of stars and God knows every one of them by name, but is your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life?
As the hymn says “When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there” – will you?
Jesus Christ came to seek and to save the lost. Have you put your faith and trust in Him for forgiveness of your sins?
He wants you to have that assurance that you are forgiven and going to Heaven.

Jesus Christ suffered immensely at Calvary’s Cross for us all, taking the punishment we deserved for our sins upon His holy self.
He did not stay dead, but arose – His sacrifice for our sins was fully accepted, and the grave was conquered!
Amazing love!

Many authors over centuries have tried to express the person of The Lord Jesus Christ, but there is always so much more to say about this most wonderful Man!

When He spoke those words on The Cross- “It is finished” – Salvations work was done.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest gift ever given – but the gift needs to be personally received by asking Him to be your Lord and Saviour, repenting of your sins. Ask Him today, and know the wonder of God!
The invitation is to all –
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”. –
Romans ch10 vs13.

To reject Christ, and die in your sins means you will eternally be in Hell, in torment - same as the rich man, that Jesus Christ spoke of (Luke’s Gospel ch16 vs19 – 31). This man cried out not wanting any of his brothers to end up in the same place. Do not go there!
God wants you to know these truths.
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”. –
John’s Gospel ch8 vs32.

All who have accepted Christ as Saviour will not be disappointed with Heaven!
All our past heartaches and pains will be left behind, as too will our sins.

The Gospel is simple -  Jesus Christ has removed all our sin.
The evil one wants to remind us of them, but God’s Word clearly tells us –
“…and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin”.
1st Epistle of John ch1 vs7.
Just as when you pull out the plug and the dirty water is gone forever, so it is with your sins when you accept Christ – he has paid for them and they are no more.

Jesus Christ has the highest name of all –
“…As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God”.
Romans ch14 vs11.

We all need to do the walk as well as the talk…
“…except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish”. –
Luke’s Gospel ch13 vs5.

Knowing Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour brings change from within...
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith. Meekness temperance”. –
Galatians ch5 vs22 – 23.
Ask The Lord Jesus Christ to come into your heart and change you!

“…him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out”. –
John’s Gospel ch6 vs37.
This is a certainty and includes YOU!

“…I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” –
John’s Gospel ch14 vs3.
God made the entire universe, but is also making a place for you to live with Him – a sinner saved by grace! What an amazing place that will be!

It is all of Christ and nothing of ourselves –

Nothing in my hands I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace:
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Saviour, or I die. –

Verse from hymn “Rock of Ages”, by A Toplady.
