Call on Jesus!

Acts 2:21
"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

CALL on JESUS as your SAVIOR!
YOU shall be SAVED!!
Today's verse is from the book of Acts. We are focused on words from the Apostle Peter's sermon. He is teaching in a way to awaken the hearers to embrace faith in Jesus Christ. These hearers will go on to join the church! His words build upon the promises of GOD from the Holy Scriptures. 

We call on the Holy Ghost to help us learn from the Holy Scriptures and understand God's promises better. As restated by the Apostle Paul in the letters to the Romans; "...confess with thy mouth... believe in thine heart ...THOU shalt be SAVED." As we read in Isaiah and in 1 Peter; "...and with His stripes WE are healed."

And, it was also Peter who taught that it "was FOREORDAINED BEFORE the foundation of the world," Before man, before the earth, before the universe, before the angels; God planned for the atonement of our sins!

All creation is here for the GLORY and PRAISE of Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross. (Period.)
We will want to change the way we live. 🤔✝️🙏
Amen.

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
