how to be saved – T.H.E.M.

Today’s Bible reading is John chapter 8

(Read the entire New Testament in 2014 by reading only one chapter each day)

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” By presenting Himself as the Light of the world Jesus is inviting us to come to Him. His light exposes our sin and reveals God’s Holy character. As we come into the light we are able to worship God for who He is and know Him. We no longer walk in darkness but we have light that shows us how to live. We come to know God and are transformed into His image. Not only does God invite us to come to the light, but also He sends us to carry the light. Jesus said, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” We must take every opportunity to witness about the light and help carry the light of the Gospel to every nation in the world. There should be a sense of urgency upon us as we realize the door of God’s grace will soon be closed.

Prayer: AW Tozer encouraged this prayer, “Say to God, Father, I am sick of being a common Christian. I’m sick of only being halfway. I want to know You.”

Today’s Bible reading is John chapter 4

(Read the entire New Testament in 2014 by reading only one chapter each day)

Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well shows the kindness and quality of His love toward sinners. There were three things the woman needed to know. First, Jesus was offering her eternal life. Her soul was thirsty and only Christ could satisfy or quench her spiritual thirst. Second, her sin separated her from God and she needed to confess it. God convicted her heart as Jesus exposed her disobedience. She would later say, “Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did!” Not only did she realize her sin, but also Christ showed this lady her need to believe on Christ. She knew about the Messiah but she didn’t know the Messiah. Many people know about God but they don’t know Him in full surrender and salvation. James said, “You believe in one God you do well, the devils also believe and tremble.” The woman at the well placed her faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of her life and she was gloriously saved! She left her water jars and began to tell others about Jesus.

Prayer: “Dear Father help us to share these three important truths with our lost family and friends. In Jesus name. Amen.”
