saviour – Wealth Forum Online

John 3:16 says that “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” The bible states that among the elements of Faith, Hope and Love, Love is the greatest. Why is love the greatest? Love is perfect knowledge or perfect understanding. Love is the greatest because it is that which enables us to give out and make impact. Giving always precedes love! Love is manifested in everyday life. Parents portray their love to their kids by providing the necessities of life. In cases where parents are unable to provide life’s necessities for their kids, they sacrifice whatever is available just to make the kids comfortable. A couple in love will always share and care for each other.

The value of your love is measured by the level of sacrifice you make. In medicine, some people are able to donate their organs to save other lives and this is great demonstration of love. I have read of a father donating one of his kidneys to save the life of his child. The greatest demonstration of love as recorded in the good book is God the father giving us His son to be crucified on the cross for the whole world to be saved. His death has brought salvation to the whole world. His death has given us the confidence to go to God’s presence and fellowship with Him.

God has finished His part of the ‘contract’ because of the provision He has made. A contract is usually signed between two or more entities. Our responsibility as people on earth is to accept God’s provision and become born again. To become born again is to accept Jesus Christ in your heart as Lord and Saviour of your life.

The video below titled ‘Love letter from God’ from Crown Video and Father Heart Communications will so much bless you when you watch it. God the father always wants to have fellowship with His children. The father is a merciful and powerful God who so love anybody who is willing to be born again.

Pray the simple prayer below if you want to accept Jesus Christ as your personal saviour:

“Father, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I recognise the provision You have made for all my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal saviour and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. I am a doer of your word from this day. In Jesus name, Amen”

The Lord Jesus, before His ascension, gave a very important submission to His disciples. This submission was “…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).This request of the Master is still very important and must be executed by every Christian today. What will you have done for your relatives and others assuming that you one day discovered a 1000 tons gold in a cave in a village where everybody is ‘poor’? We can guess several responses that my come up. Your main aim would have been to improve the standard of living for yourself, your relatives and others. The selfish ones, of course, would have consumed all the proceeds alone without any consideration to residents in the village.

Receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and personal saviour is the greatest gift that God has given to mankind. Receiving Jesus is treasure deposited in our spirit. This treasure should compel us to always propagate the word of God to the unsaved so that these persons can also receive this treasure of hope. You should not necessarily be an experienced teacher of the bible before you propagate the word of God to the world around you. Sometimes, a simple phrase like “God loves you” is all somebody needs to be born again and experience the God-life. Some people are going through extreme hardships. They have tried all that they can in their power to make things work but nothing has improved. A positive change only comes through Jesus.

Over the years, some Christians have condemned unbelievers to the extent that, these unbelievers have purposed in their hearts not to get close to church or anything about the gospel. This act of repelling unbelievers through condemnation is not the ministry of reconciliation. No matter the gravity of sin of any person, Jesus still loves these persons. If Jesus could not condemn sinners, then as believers, we equally are not allowed to condemn sinners. We are God’s co-labourers today in the ministry of reconciliation (1 Corinthians 3:9). What an unbeliever needs initially is the saving gospel of Jesus. From here, the word of God will start the process of transformation and naturally, acts of sin begin to depart from saved souls.

In conclusion, our responsibility is to let people know the ministry of reconciliation which kick-starts a transformation that brings about prosperity and a life of meaning. The prosperity life in Christ is everlasting life.
