A Gospel Moment
On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
JOHN 7:37 – 38 (NIV)
The Simple Truth
- God created us to be with Him. (Genesis 1-2)
- Our sins separate us from God. (Genesis 3)
- Sins cannot be removed by good deeds. (Genesis 4 – Malachi 4)
- Paying the price for sin, Jesus died and rose again. (Matthew – Luke)
- Everyone who trusts in Him alone has eternal life. (John)
- Life with Jesus starts now and lasts forever. (Acts – Revelation)
Receiving Jesus Christ – It’s Simple!
But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[a] that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Romans 10:8-10 (NIV)
God’s Provision for Growth & Protection … Family!
In the completion of God’s greatest act of love through the gift of His son was to establish the church assembly as a place for believers to develop their faith through fellowship. It is through fellowship where we learn about God in His sovereignty, we receive encouragement, strength and growth, and remind us that we are not alone.
