CHRISTIANS IT'S TIME TO TAKE UP YOUR CROSS

Mat 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

Mat 16:25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

In July 2007 this website was birthed by Irene, without the realization then that we would be birthing a Ministry. Now though God has brought us to a new place, and we are answering His call. So Disciples of Jesus Ministry is being birthed in August 2008.

The Gospel in a nutshell

The Gospel message in a nutshell - God's love in action.

John 3:16.For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
(NKJ V).

Have you ever thought about why this verse is probably the best known Verse in the Bible among Christians? In this verse we have the Gospel message in a Nutshell. This verse is about God's love in action.

1) God is the source of that love. This verse shows the magnitude of God's love in action

2) God so loved the world: God's love isn't restricted to any one nation or to the spiritually elite.God's love extends to all men and women, boys and girls everywhere.There are no exceptions. God loves you.

3) he gave his only begotten Son:. This shows His sacrificial love.

Jesus the spotless, sinless Son of God died for us almost 2,000 years ago on the Cross of Calvary. God could not look upon sin. A sacrifice had to be made so that our sins might be forgiven.

Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

We are all sinners and come short of the glory of God. We are all deserving of the wrath of God, but God in his infinite mercy sent his only Son to die for us and so secure our redemption. Isn't it wonderful. Praise the name of the Lord. Glory to his name.

This same Jesus who died on the Cross rose again on the third day.

Joh 2:22 Therefore when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

4) whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. That whoever or as the king James says whosoever means all of us. There is no need for anyone to perish. God has provided a way for all to be saved. But, we must first confess our sins and ask forgiveness of those sins and ask Jesus into our lives.

Eph 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace,

Salvation is through Christ and Christ alone. He has made our redemption, our salvation possible by dying for us on the cross of Calvary. What love is this? God's love in action.

If you do not know Jesus as your Saviour and you are reading this today we implore you give your life to Jesus today, he died for you, he paid the penalty for your sins, there is no need for you to perish.

Look at the verse once again. Let's replace a few words. Read those words out loud. " For God so loved me that He gave His only begotten Son, that if I believe in Him I shall not perish but have everlasting life."

Pray this prayer with me if the Lord is speaking to you today.

Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus down to die for me on Calvary's cross, thank you for your love for me, I know I am a sinner, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness and I want the Lord Jesus Christ to come into my life today. Thank you Lord Jesus for dying for me, I want to live my life for you.
AMEN.

If you have prayed that prayer you are now a Christian and you have the gift from God of eternal life. I would advise you to get in touch with a local Church where the Gospel is preached and speak to a Pastor or leader. Contact us if you have prayed this prayer at discipleofjesus@live.co.uk and we will send you a booklet to help you on your way. Read also the New Believer's section.
