From his personal testimony--In
1934, when a guest minister at Ebenezer made a strong pitch for the
salvation of young souls, Martin Luther King, Jr. watched his sister
rise to make the first profession of faith. Impulsively, as he later
confessed, "I decided that I would not let her get ahead of me, so I
was the next."
Dr. King also said: "Bound
by the chains of his own sin and finiteness, man needs a Saviour (Jesus
Christ). Man cannot save himself, for man is not the measure of all
things and humanity is not God."
"Only
through an inner spiritual transformation do we gain the strength to
fight victoriously the evils of the world in a humble and loving
spirit."
"We cannot be truly Christian people so long as we flaunt the central teachings of Jesus: brotherly love and the Golden Rule."
"The
church today is challenged to proclaim God's Son, Jesus Christ, to be
the hope of men in all of their complex personal and social problems."
Dr. King made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ. The question now, is, have you?
If you want to know
Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, as Dr. King apparently did,
please read the following, and do it before it is eternally too late:
1. Accept the fact that you are a sinner, and that you have broken God's law. The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 7:20: "For there is not a just man upon earth that doeth good, and sinneth not." Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
2. Accept the fact that there is a penalty for sin. The Bible states in Romans 6:23: "For the wages of sin is death..."
3. Accept the fact that you are on the road to hell. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 10:28:"And
fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul:
but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in
hell." Also, the Bible states in Revelation 21:8: "But
the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is
the second death."
4. Accept the fact that you cannot do anything to save yourself! The Bible states in Ephesians 2:8,9: "For
by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is
a gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast."
5. Accept the fact that God loves you more than you love yourself, and that He wants to save you from hell. "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." (Jesus Christ, John 3:16).
6. With these facts
in mind, please repent of your sins, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
and pray and ask Him to come into your heart and save you this very
moment. The Bible states in the book of Romans 10:9,13: "That
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe
in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved." "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved."
7. If you are willing to trust Christ as your Saviour, please pray the following prayer:Heavenly
Father, I realize that I am a sinner. For Jesus Christ sake, please
forgive me of my sins. I now believe with all of my heart that Jesus
Christ died, was buried, and rose again. Lord Jesus, please come into
my heart and save my soul and change my life. Amen.
