TODAY’S MESSAGE OF
GOD’S OFFER OF
SALVATION!
Friend, several years ago, the "Wall Street Journal" placed an advertisement in the "New York Times," reprinting one of its editorials about the moral dilemmas that appear daily on television.
The introductory line of the piece read: "When was the last time you had a good conversation about sin?" In the article, there were the following lines:
"Sin isn't something that many people, including most churches, have spent much time talking about or worrying about…but we will say for sin…it, at least, offered a frame of reference for personal behaviour."
Friend, when the frame was dismantled, guilt wasn't the only thing that fell away. We also lost the guide wire of personal responsibility…everyone was left on his or her own. It now appears that many wrecked people could have used that road map.
Thomas Long, in a subsequent editorial, commented that this is a "surprising call for someone to step forward and to teach the culture how to confess, once again, it's sin!"
In the movie "Grand Canyon", a lawyer, played by Danny Glover, tries to get around a traffic jam and finds himself on some rather unsafe side streets when, to his shock, his car stalls.
He manages to call for a tow truck, but before it arrives, five young street teenagers surround his car and threaten him with bodily harm.
Just in time, the tow truck arrives, and the driver hooks the car up. The five street kids get angry. The tow truck driver says to them, "The world isn’t supposed to work like this. Maybe you don't know that, but this isn’t the way it's supposed to be. I'm supposed to be able to wait with his car without you ripping him off. Everything's supposed to be different from what it is here!"
Friend, that's the human predicament stated very simply. God had an original design and intention for human beings. However, as we all know, things are not that way at all.
The Bible calls this condition "sin" and says again and again that sin disrupts and resists the vital relationship between mankind and God. Sin is a personal affront to a personal God, according to the Bible, and you and I are responsible.
Each of us must reach the place where the confession is made-"I have sinned!" Then each of us must seriously consider Jesus Christ and the offer of salvation that is made through Him.
My friend, I wonder if you and I are genuinely eager to hear about salvation? Sin is the reality. Death and separation from God are the result. Salvation is the offer! The decision is one you and I must make. Where we will spend Eternity is decided by the decision each of us will make (John 3:16).
Concerning this,
"Where Will You Spend Eternity?"
(John 3:36).

Description
In the Bible, physical salvation was repeatedly found in specific places, such as in Noah's ark during the Flood or in houses marked with a lamb's blood during the Exodus. Similarly, spiritual salvation from sin is found only in Jesus Christ. Are you safe in the Household of Christ? Are you a member of Jesus' Church?

Friend, have you been baptised into Christ?
Baptism is a physical act with a spiritual meaning!
The Greek word, baptizo, from which we get the word baptism literally means “immersion.” We are immersed into the person of Jesus. We are plunged into Him—soaked, bathed in, drenched in Him!
In baptism, we are united with Jesus in every possible way!
Baptism involves the physical act of immersion in water and resurrection from the water!
The spiritual meaning of this act is that we come into contact with Jesus’ death, so our sins are washed away or forgiven by His blood, and we are raised to walk in a new life:
The physical water does not wash away our sins. Nor do we physically come in contact with the blood of Jesus. Nevertheless, our sins are spiritually washed away by Jesus’ blood, we receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and we are added to the Church of Jesus Christ when we obey the gospel teaching, to be physically baptised for the remission of sins.
Baptism, (Immersion into Christ) is probably the most beautiful thing we will witness and experience, this side of Heaven!
Friend, there are two applications for what I’m saying.
First, if you haven’t been baptised, what are you waiting for? As Ananias told the man who would become the Apostle Paul, “And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptised and wash away your sins, calling on his name” (Acts 22:16).

Second, if you have been baptised, please don’t let baptism become just another ritual and routine.
Don’t forget the beauty of baptism.
It’s beautiful!
Why was Jesus baptised?
What does Jesus’ baptism teach us today about becoming a Christian?
Follow along with Denny Petrillo, as he discusses this important event in Jesus’ life, how it was not simply a formality, and why you should be baptised too.
