Ye Must Be Born Again!

In this last blog post for 2015 I have decided with God’s help to leave you with the following:

1. GOD loves you. God LOVES you. God loves YOU and wants to get to know you better in 2016! The only way to accomplish this is for YOU, my friend to open up all of His love letters, one at a time, chapter by chapter and verse by verse. At the end of my bed is a cedar chest full of my husband’s love letters. The cedar chest was given to me by Terry a few months before we married. I cherish that gift more than any other in my entire life! It is his love before his love. Does that make any sense? The real, lasting love has grown now for over 51 years but I can guarantee you it has been because we gave up on selfish love to gain selfless love. As we learned more about one another, we learned even more about ourselves. Oh my, what a jerk I am! Never dreamed I could be so cruel and selfish until challenged. Maybe you are a better person than I am but I will say I could not and would not have made it this far in my married life and otherwise, had it not been for my consistent daily walk with God. Even in my obedience of wanting to know God, I found myself disobedient in areas that could have ruined my life!

Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again

Joh 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

2.  You are a sinner just like me and need a God, but the One and only God, to forgive you of all your sins, past, present and future. No idol can do that. No religion can do that. No President or ruler or king can do that. Only a God who became as a man, Jesus, and allowed Himself to be crucified on a cross, shedding His blood as red as yours and mine, dying and coming back to life…..can do that! Nothing else, friend. No one else can do that or will EVER be able do that; one time, for eternity …..THAT IS OUR GOD! His whole beginning and end as far as mankind is concerned is written by Him. We can hold this Word with our own hands, daily and read between the covers of what we call the HOLY BIBLE. He loved us so much, that He preserved His every Word just for us!

Ps 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Ps 12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

3.  It doesn’t matter where you live, He will get Himself to YOU. Every heart desires to know the creator. It begins with a desire, a longing to know our beginning. I searched for him in the fields on the farm. I cried out to him when I was separated from Mama, and then taken from my sisters. I longed to know Him and He was there all the time!


4.  Joining a church will not save you. Getting baptized or any other work will not save you. Speaking in another language will not save you. Jesus saves. Only Jesus saves! He took the cup filled with vile wicked sins of you and me, drank it and went to the cross….willingly. God in the flesh. You cannot understand it. I cannot understand it, but by faith we must accept this free (yes FREE!) gift from our Heavenly Father.

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

I’ve done a lot of good works and maybe you have too, but they are as filthy rags according to what my God has done for us all!

5.  If you have never come to this truthful knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, then Friend, I beg you to stop right now before it is everlasting too late, and confess that you are a sinner and cannot save yourself. Call on Him, Jesus, who will not turn Himself away from you. He alone saves. I fell on my knees, alone, in the Church of the Brethren and was born again. My family made fun of me but Jesus smiled and so will He smile at you, Friend!

Ro 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Saved from what? Saved from sin and hell! Will you ever sin again? Oh yes, friend as long as that old flesh breathes air. You are still a sinner but saved by Grace!

Someone asked the question “Why do you always say Ye must be born again?”

Because YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN! You came from your mother, once, and can never go back inside her, but you can be born again by Jesus coming inside you, once forever and ever. She will always be the one who gave you physical life. My Mama gave birth to me all alone and gave me up later on, but she will always be the one who gave me physical life! Jesus offers to you Spiritual Life---to be born AGAIN!

Someone taught you how to walk. Jesus will teach you how to walk with Him by opening up the Book, reading it verse by verse …. Every Word!!! What a journey! What a Savior! What a God!

Will you join us in Heaven one day, Friend?

It has been my pleasure to have known you this past year but more than that, I have learned so much more about the LIVING AND PERFECT GOD who loves ME and is preparing a home for me to live with Him for eternity! I pray that Sheri and I have encouraged you to get to know HIM above everything else! Same PLACE, same TIME, and same BIBLE.
