"The Bible, your map to heaven."
By Pastor Raymond WeyWhen we look at a map or a road-atlas, we are
faced with a great variety of options. The more details we have about
the routes and the names of the places, the easier it is to work out
the best way to reach our destination. The same applies to the word
of God. God gives directions in the Bible. Each genaration finds instructions
about what they are supposed to do there in, for example, how to receive
salvation and forgiveness of their sins. 1. The gospel of John - there you can read of Jesus' ministry upon earth; and pay particular attention to his death, his burial and his reserrection. 2. The book of Acts
- a historial account of the first church.
What did the people do to become Christians? You'll always find the
same thing written, regarding the teachings of the apostles -: believe
in Jesus, be truly converted, repentance, baptism IN WATER IN THE NAME
OF JESUS for the remission of sins, and being filled with the Holy Spirit.
Go the same way, do the same thing and do it now so long as we are still
living in the time of grace, and find such a church. |
