Depend on God!

"Look unto Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth – for I am God, and there is none else." Isaiah 45:22



The invitation has gone from his lips, and the command has gone forth that it should be carried to every creature Mark 16:15, and now it pertains to his church to bear the glad news of salvation around the world. God intends that it shall be done, and on his church rests the responsibility of seeing it speedily executed.








For I am God - This is a reason why they should look to him to be saved. It is clear that none but the true God can save the soul. No one else but he can pronounce sin forgiven; no one but he can rescue from a deserved hell. No idol, no man, no angel can save; and if, therefore, the sinner is saved, he must come to the true God, and depend on him. That he may thus come, whatever may have been his character, is abundantly proved by this passage. This verse contains truth enough, if properly understood and applied, to save the world; and on the ground of this, all people, of all ages, nations, climes, ranks, and character, might come and obtain eternal salvation.

Eternal Life in Christ

  Scripture: 1 John 5:12 (NIV) "Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life." In this concise yet profound verse, the Apostle John encapsulates the essence of the Christian faith. He presents a binary reality that revolves around a pivotal relationship—with or without the Son of God. Having the Son Means Having Life To "have the Son" is more than a mere acknowledgment of His existence; it is an intimate, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This relationship is transformative, for in Him, we discover the source and essence of life. It's not just about an earthly existence but an eternal life that transcends the temporal. Eternal life in Christ is not a distant promise; it is a present reality. It begins the moment we invite Jesus into our hearts, acknowledging Him as our Lord and Savior. This life is marked by a deep sense of purpose, joy, and an unshakable hope that extends beyond the confines of this world. Lifeles...
