Are You Saved or Lost?
© 98-12 Colin Melbourne
There are only two kinds of people on earth today. Those whom God has saved, and those who are still lost. Right now you are either saved or lost and in your sins. Here's how to find out which:
The Holy Bible says: This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; Holy Bible 1 Tim. 1:15 KJV
Jesus said to a swindling cheat who had repented and trusted in Him;
This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Lk. 19:9+10 KJV
Has God's Son, Jesus Christ saved you yet?
If so, where, when?
If you don't know, you are still unsaved.
That is why you are here, you can be saved right now by acknowledging;
You were born lost. Separated from God by the sinful nature you inherited from your ancestors Adam and Eve. That is why you must be born again.
They messed things up for you, made you rebellious, proud, and unrighteous in God's sight. You can blame them for that.
But God has provided a way, the Only Way, for you to be saved, brought back to Him as His friend; righteous, holy, and blameless.
He did this for you, it was His idea, because He created you and loves you. God Himself came to earth in Christ. Bore your guilt and sin on the Cross. Took the full punishment you deserve for breaking God's Laws.
Jesus died in your place, so you don't have to suffer punishment for your sin, but have God's life and righteousness.
The condition is simple.
Accept Christ as, Lord (God in the Flesh), and trust in Him.
Or reject Him, and remain lost in your sins, bearing the punishment for them at your Judgment.
That is your choice.
Don't blame anyone else if you choose wrong.
If you are lost, you'll be a mixture of the following :
- Deeply Insecure:
Despite outward bravado, you'll have profound anxiety in your heart. - Proud and Self-Reliant:
You'll make it your own way. You always have done haven't you? - Mock and Sneer at Sin:
To the mocker, the concept of sin (and forgiveness) is 'flexible', foolish, or even 'unreal'. - Very Religious:
You have your own strong beliefs. Perhaps traditional religious ones, personal pick and choose ones, or some bizarre mixture. All are totally false. - Ignorant:
You simply do not know where you came from or where you are destined. You guess, imagine or dream. Your best guess is wrong. - Captive To Sin:
You are held in bondage to sin and sinful habits. - You are very curious About Christ:
Who is He? What did He do? Why is He different? How can I know the Truth?
When You are saved, you will know without doubt:
Jesus Christ is Almighty God (YHWH) in Human Flesh. Jn. 12:41+45; Is. 6:5; Jn. 1:1+14; Rev. 1:8, Rev 22:13+16; Is. 48:12; Lk. 6:5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... And the Word was made flesh, Jn. 1:1+14 KJV
All your sins are paid for in full. Christ died to settle your sin debt once and for all. Rev. 1:5; 1 Pe. 3:18; Heb. 7:27
Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood... Rev. 1:5 KJV
God is your Father. You are His child.
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God... Beloved, now are we the sons of God...
1 Jn. 3:1-2b KJV
You have eternal life in you right now.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 Jn. 5:13 KJV
Nothing can separate you from God and His Love for you.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ro. 8:38-39 KJV
You have an inheritance in Heaven waiting for you.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Pe. 1:3-5 KJV
You will never die, just 'fall asleep' and wake up in Heaven.
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: Jn. 11:25-27 KJV
God's Voice is real to you.
...the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. Jn. 10:4 KJV
You have perfect peace with God as you trust in Christ. Ro. 5:1 Phil. 4:7 KJV
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Ro. 5:1 KJV
