You Can Have God's Peace

    Do you have God's peace?  If you were to die this instant, are you absolutely sure that you would go to Heaven?  You can be sure, if only you:

    Admit you are a sinner who is in jeopardy of God's judgment.  "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23

    Believe that Jesus sacrificed His life to pay for your sin, and was resurrected.  "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in you heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confessoin is made unto salvation."  - Rom. 10:9-10

    "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority (legal right) to become children of God, to those who believed in His name." - John 1:12

    You can have confidence that you are eternally safe with Christ if you believe:  "Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it unto the day of Jesus Christ." - Phil. 1:6

    I will never desert you (says God) nor will I ever forsake you, so that you may confidently say, "the Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid.  What shall a man do to me?" - Heb. 13:5b

    Receive Jesus Christ and confess Him as the Lord of you life.

You Can Have God's Power

    You need the power promised by God to be a victorious Christian.  Jesus said, "Behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you:  but wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are given the power from on high." - Luke 24:4

    You will receive His promised power the same way you received salvation, simply by asking in faith.  God promises to give the Holy Spirit and not a counterfeit.  Jesus, teaching on prayer, said, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those that ask Him?" - Luke 11:13

    The born-again apostles, who had walked with Jesus for three years were not fully equipped to minister the New Covenant until they received God's promised power.  You, like the disciples, can be absolutely sure that you require God's promised power.

    Jesus said to His disciples, "...you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." - Acts 1:8
