TWO KINGDOMS
WHAT DO WE SEE ABOVE? AN IMAGE OF THIS WORLD FROM A HUMAN VIEWPOINT:
OUR GLOBE WITH SOME OF THE 195 COUNTRIES SPREAD OVER ITS SURFACE.
BUT WHAT DOES GOD SEE WHEN LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE?
HE SEES ONLY TWO KINGDOMS:
֎ HIS KINGDOM OF LIGHT CONSISTING OF HIM AND HIS FOLLOWERS
AND
֎ SATAN’S KINGDOM OF DARKNESS WHERE HE AND ALL OF HIS FOLLOWERS DWELL.
IN WHICH OF THESE TWO KINGDOMS DO YOU FIND YOURSELF RIGHT NOW?
CROSSING OVER INTO THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CROSS OVER INTO GOD’S KINGDOM OF LIGHT?
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
THE MOMENT YOU ENTER IN, GOD WILL IMMEDIATELY GIVE YOU THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE AND:
- a) Every sin you ever committed and may, in future, unwillingly commit, will be forgiven.
- b) God will enter into you by his Spirit, raise your spirit to life and continualy strenghthen you to overcome the sinful old nature dwelling within you – you will gradually begin to think, speak and think like Jesus the Son. This is called the New Birth.
IS THIS NOT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?
NOT AT ALL. THIS OFFER RESTS ON A FIRM LEGAL FOUNDATION, WHICH ANY RIGHTEOUS COURT WILL UPHOLD.
SO, WHAT IS THIS LEGAL FOUNDATION?
IT IS THE IRREFUTABLE FACT THAT JESUS HAD FULLY PAID FOR THIS GIFT WITH HIS VERY LIFE WHEN HE DIED ON THE CROSS AT CALVARY, MORE THAN 2000 AGO – BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY HE CRIED OUT “IT IS FINISHED!” THE PRICE FOR YOUR SALVATION IS FULLY PAID FOR; PAID UP.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
If you go to a motorcar dealer to buy a brand new multi million limosine, but on arrival, he checks your ID, then lays a receipt and keys before you on the table, will you insist on adding a couple of dirty broken biscuits as payment? No, you may perhaps shed some tears of gratitude, pick up the document of proof and keys and drive your gift car home.
ONLY JESUS CAN OFFER YOU ETERNAL LIFE, FOR ONLY HIS LIFE WAS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND COULD BE OFFERED AS A RANSOM FOR YOURS. THIS IS YOUR “LUCKY DAY”!
Joh 6:54 Whoever partakes of My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (Partaking of his flesh and drinking his blood, means truly believing in him and what He did for you on the cross.)
WHAT DOES HE EXPECT IN RETURN?
BY ACCEPTING HIS GIFT YOU SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO HIM, FULLY AND FOREVER IN ORDER THAT HE MAY GRADUALLY CHANGE IT TO BE AS HIS OWN. IN PRACTICE THIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL DAILY SEEK AND OBEY HIM.
HOW DO I TAKE THIS STEP OF STEPPIING OVER INTO HIS KINGDOM?
SIMPLY BY BELIEVINGLY PRAYING THE FOLLOWING PRAYER:
- Lord Jesus I am convinced that I am a lost sinner, deserving your eternal punishment.
- I also believe that you love me and paid the full price for my salvation on the cross.
- I now surrender my life to you forever.
- I now, by faith, accept your gift of Eternal Life.
Dear friend, have you honestly prayed this prayer? Then you have crossed over from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God.
