Unchangeable Truths Of Christianity
Tuesday 27th May
Text: Joshua 1:8
Key verse: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Ponder on the following unchallengeable truths:
1. Jesus is the only Savior of man from sin: No man who worships God through or in another religion apart from Christianity will see God after death. All who died serving God through other religions are in hell, including founders of those religions.
2. How to be born again: A person is said to be born again when he acknowledges that he is a sinner, desires to receive forgiveness of his sins from God, confesses his sins to God and requests Jesus to save and wash away his sins; promising not to return to them anymore. When he notices that he is now living a new life in Christ, loving God and the things of God and rejecting, resisting all sins and overcoming them in his life, he is born again
3. Experience of sanctification for believers: It is commonplace for a believer growing in Christ to have an inner struggle with envy, malice, anger, pride, stubbornness, lust, and inner moral weakness, which often defile him to his embarrassment and sorrow before God and man. The believer is not seen committing sin outwardly. He shows forth clear evidence of salvation from sin. The Spirit bears witness in his heart that he is a child of God. But he notices inner impurity that challenges his total freedom. This is inbred sin or Adamic nature in the believer.
Something has to be done to bring him to the fullness of righteousness, holiness, and love in Christ. What is yet required in the believer's life is a spiritual experience called sanctification. Jesus prayed for all believers, that they may be sanctified so that they may be ushered into the full expression of holiness in their lives. A dirty cloth that is washed in a bowl of water needs a second washing in another bowl of water, for rinsing, to remove all dirt from it so it may be completely clean. Sanctification experience is for those who are already born again, to make them completely holy before God. Jesus gave Himself for believer's sanctification and holiness.
Thought For The Day: No other religion apart from Christianity leads to God.
