Do you want to know why I love working at the
Y so much? THIS is why: They pass out these bookmarks that have the following
words written on them, to every person who inquires about a new membership.
This is so cool! On the front of the bookmark it says: "Strong To The Finish.
'Finish the race' -Acts 20:24 '...if only I may finish the race and complete
the take the Lord Jesus has given me -- the task of testifying to the gospel of
God's grace.' Then on the back it says: "God's Winning Game Plan Realize God
is holy and perfect; we are sinners and cannot save ourselves. Recognize who
Jesus is and what He's done as our substitute. Repent by
turning to God from sin. Receive Jesus Christ by faith as Savior and
Lord. Respond to Jesus Christ in a life of
obedience. Does God's plan make sense to you? Are you willing to repent and
receive Jesus Christ? If so, express to God your need for Him. If you're not
sure what to say, consider 'Suggested Prayer of Commitment' below. Remember
that God is more concerned with your attitude than with the words you say.
'Lord Jesus, I need you. I realize I'm a sinner, and I can't save myself. I
need your mercy. I believe that you died on the cross for my sins and rose from
the dead. I repent of my sins and put my faith in you as Savior and Lord. Take
control of my life, and help me to follow you in obedience. In Jesus' name.
Amen' '...if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved...for, 'Everyone who
calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'--Romans 10:9,13"
Any questions? This is the gospel that has just been shared with you along with the rest of the world. If you never have accepted Jesus, then you have just heard the truth proclaimed as simply as it could ever be said. Forget all the questioning, doubting, arguing, debating, dissecting, and intellectualizing. This is the truth. There are only two kinds of people in the world, the saved and the lost. Those who will be with Jesus when they die, and those who will be in hell. Which one will you be?
