If we invite Jesus Christ
to be our Lord and Saviour, He promise us to enter our lives.
He says, “Behold, I
stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I
will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” (Revelation 3:20)
If you have open the door of your heart and invite Jesus into
your life, He will surely enter your life and will always be with you.
The Bible says, “This is
the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to
his will, he hears us.” ( I John 5:14)
Jesus said, “All that the Father gives me will come to me; and
him who comes to me I will not cast out.” (John 6:37)
Jesus says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they
follow me; and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no
one shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is
greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.”
(John 10:27-29)
Jesus died on the cross for our sins, so that we can have relationship
with Him. Jesus took our sins on Himself and covered us with His righteousness,
making us fully forgiven and fully accepted by Him. We don’t have to first live
good lives, or perform religious rituals, or spend years begging Him. God is
the one who made it possible for us to have a relationship with Him. And we
come to Him based on what He did for us, rather than what we can do. He paid
for our sins, in order to forgive us and come into our lives. The Bible says,
“For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to
bring you to God.” (I Peter 3:18)
When a person asks Jesus into their life, it
is exciting to know what God says is now true about your relationship with God:
1.
You
are at peace with God — “Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1)
2. You became a child of God — “to all who received him, who believed in his
name, he gave power to become children of God.” (John 1:12)
3. You are no longer living in darkness — “for once you were darkness, but now you are
light in the Lord; walk as children of light” (Ephesians 5:8)
“He has delivered us from the dominion of
darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have
redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:13,14)
4. You are forgiven — “To him all the prophets bear witness that
every one who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”
(Acts 10:43)
“In him we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace which
he lavished upon us.” (Ephesians 1:7,8)
“This is how God showed his love among us: He
sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This
is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an
atoning sacrifice for our sins.” (1 John 4:9,10)
5. You have been given eternal life — “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my
word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into
judgment, but has passed from death to life.” (John 5:24)
“And this is the testimony, that God gave us
eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who
has not the Son of God has not life. I write this to you who believe in the
name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.” (1 John
5:11-13)
6. You are sealed with the Holy Spirit — “In him you also, who have heard the word of
truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with
the promised Holy Spirit, which is the guarantee of our inheritance until we
acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.” (Ephesians 1:13)
7. You can begin to know God’s love for you
— “If you abide in me,
and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.
By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my
disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my
Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you,
that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” (John 15:7-11)
