RESTORATION TODAY
SATURDAY 5TH NOVEMBER 2016
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: BELIEVE AND BE SAVED.
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. Romans 5: 9.
The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? The answer Paul and Silas gave him is very important: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved (Acts 16: 31).
What does that mean? The word BELIEVE does not merely mean intellectual assent, acknowledging there is a God, or even that Jesus Christ is the son of God. To believe, in a Biblical sense, is much more than that, because the Bible says that even the demons believe and tremble! (James 2: 19). Demons acknowledge the existence of God, but they don?t trust in Him.
To believe means to hold on to, to cling to. It also means to let go of. So, in the Bible, belief speaks of both letting go of one thing and taking hold of another. We let go of our sin and take hold of Christ, and Christ alone, to save us. It is not Christ plus good works that we do that saves us. Rather, it is Christ and Christ alone.
ACTION POINT:
Are you saved? If you are not, today is a good day to do as Paul suggested, believe, and be saved!
SCRIPTURES:
Romans 5:10; 1:18; 8:1, 30
John 5: 24
1 Thessalonians 1: 10.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, thank You for loving me and for saving me in the name of Jesus.
2. Father, I rededicate my life to You today in the name of Jesus.
3. O Lord, draw every friend and family member of mine that is not yet saved to Calvary in the name of Jesus.
4. Father, at the end of my Journey on earth, let me reign with You in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
1 Chronicle 19, 20
Ezekiel 18, 19
John 6: 41 ? 7: 1.
