100 Reasons You Must Be A Christian 5
by Olawale Ogunsola PRAYER God in Heaven, I thank You for making it possible to come across this write-up. Help me through it. Open my eyes to see the truth presented to me in it. Give me the grace and courage to accept the truth at the end of reading it. Amen. Reason Ten. You Will Cease Being A Child Of a Bond Woman. Do you know that a child of a slave is a slave? Why should you live a life of a slave where freedom is available? It is not the plan of your Creator that you are a slave but a child of the free woman. The Scripture says, "Cast out the bond woman and her son: for the son of the bond woman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman. So then brethren, we are not children of the bond woman, but of the free." Galatians 4:30-31 Reason Eleven. You Become A Child. You can become a child of God through Jesus Christ. By so doing, you become a Christian. Accept Christ today and you become a child of God. John 1:12 states, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." Dear readers, "Therefore be imitators of God as dear children." Ephesians 5:1 It is only through Jesus Christ that you can become a child of God. Ephesians 1:5 reads, "... Having predestined us (you) to adoption as sons (daughters) by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will." Reason Twelve. You Become A Joint-Heir With Jesus Christ. After giving your life to Christ, you will not only become a child of God but a Joint-heir with Jesus Christ. Romans 8:16-17 assures, "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs- heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, ..." Do you know (think) of any other alternative? It is of falsehood! Have you sincerely read those points? Do you believe them indeed? CONFESSIONAL PRAYER Heavenly Father, I thank you for the grace, power and courage that you have given me to read this piece. I have now known the Truth, let the Truth set me free totally and eternally in Jesus' Name. Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for your death for my sins. I confess that you died for me and you have risen unto glory. I confess you as my Lord and Savior. Give me the grace and mercy to follow you until I am counted worthy when you come again. Thank you Jesus for saving me. The Author is the set man of CTFM(WORLD OUTREACH)and Presiding Pastor of Christ Restland Gospel Church.He is a Poet and author of many books.
