Receive and Accept< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

John 3:1-21

You miss the whole mark if you just receive and not accept Him as your Lord and Savior. For so long you have been receiving the gift of Christmas but you just do not accept Christ Himself. What is it going to cost you to accept Him as your Lord and Savior? Jesus Himself has paid all the price on the cross and all you have to do is to wrap up the prize. You have heard so much about this Lord and Savior so why is it that you cannot give Him a chance to come into your life? To some that do not know about Him, all it takes is to give Him a chance. To some that claim to know about Him, it is far from enough to receive Him and not accept Him; it is playing church. Your years in the church are not the determinant of your ÔYes LordÕ. So many are on the right track but get trapped and never get to the expected end. Are you really serving Him? God has made the provision for salvation through Jesus. And it is written in Jh.3:16, ÒFor God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.Ó Today is your day of salvation. Hook up to Him and He will look out for you. Is the time of His coming taking too long in your own calendar? To man, it is like thousand years waiting for His return. To God, a thousand years in His sight are like yesterday when it is past (Ps.90:4) Believe it or not: He will come back and it is not enough for you to receive Him and not accept Him. Your lifestyle outside the church does not reflect the fact that you have received and accepted Christ. You can only deceive yourself but not fellow believers. Be encouraged, His coming back is real and it will not take forever.  Receive Him and accept Him as your Lord and savior.
