The Gospel Invitation: Confess, Receive, Commit Today

Jesus didn't say, improve yourself. Jesus didn't say, here's your 10 list. For most of us, it would be a little more than 10, perhaps. Didn't say improve yourself. It didn't say, Nicodemus, well, these things that you need to go and attend to. Do you hear them? Did you see them? You could search and search it. You won't find them. He says, you need to be born again. [01:14:18] (33 seconds)  #BornAgainNotSelfHelp

Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I can stand back and I can admire the wonderful work of Jesus. Wow. He was a great and what do people say? He was a great prophet at the times. He was a great this. Yes. He was a he healed many people. But unless I confess that he is Jesus Christ, son of God, savior to the world, confess his name as Lord, then I've just observed, haven't I? We need to step through the door and declare that Jesus is lord of our life. [01:01:54] (41 seconds)  #ConfessJesusAsLord

It can be. It can be paid for. It can be prepared, and it can even be offered. Is it yours yet? Have you collected it? I would say until you take it, it becomes yours. It's paid for. It's prepared, and it's offered. Jesus done all of that, but there's there's a step we each need to do and that is receive. We need to take it and let it become ours.

So through those passages, we see a a clear message that is written to humanity. Jesus says, I am the I am the way. And that's not a restriction. It's more like a rescue. Humanity in sin is like a house burning down in one regard, we could say. But Jesus reaches in to the midst of humanity's turmoil and strife, and gives off his own life. And the gospels give us the story of life saving truth. [01:06:46] (58 seconds)  #JesusTheWayRescue

But at some point, if I wanna move from this room to that room, I would need to go through that door. True? You need to go through that door. You need to step through. And so the scripture is saying that confession is not just words. It's declaring that Jesus is Lord of my life. It is stepping, from the reality of sin and brokenness into a reality of redemption and salvation and saying yes to Jesus. [01:01:21] (33 seconds)  #StepThroughTheDoor

Jesus, speaking of himself and what he brings, he brings salvation to sinners. He says, today, I, Jesus, salvation, have come to your house. And in coming to his house, what happens? Transformation happens to that household. So we are all lost without Christ. Zacchaeus was lost, but he found salvation in Jesus. [01:11:24] (43 seconds)  #SalvationTransforms

Every knee will bow. I've decided to bow my knee now, and that's my recommendation to everyone. Better now than later. Better now than later, and enjoy the fullness of a eternal life and the abundance that is available to each and every one of us. Now I choose today. Have you chosen today? I choose today.

Today, I'm reminding you the fact that you don't need a platform. You just need one person. You just need one person. And you just need in your hot little hand the knowledge of the truth that's contained in this little flyer. Perhaps you've got your own processes, procedure, your own scripture memory. But if you don't, I encourage you to read this one over and understand the realities of scripture and be confident in it that you could actually lead someone to the knowledge and the revelation of Jesus Christ and that they would be born again through your words and your ministry.
