“A New Master”

“A New Master”

 

But thanks be to God!  For though at one time you were slaves to sin, you have obeyed with all your heart the truths found in the teaching you received.  You were set free from sin and became the slaves of righteousness.     Romans 6:17-18

 

Mankind likes to believe that they are TOTALLY SELF-SUFFICIENT, and that they do not NEED anybody to tell them what is RIGHT and what is WRONG, nor to instruct them on what they SHOULD or SHOULD NOT do.  There are some people who are strictly AGAINST doing what is RIGHT in the Eyes of the Almighty God.  And they, according to the Apostle Paul, are SLAVES to SIN. SIN is their MASTER.  Sin RULES their HEARTS, and they are FOLLOWING its path to the DESTRUCTION of their WRETCHED SOULS.  Sin has BLINDED their eyes to the point that they BELIEVE that doing what is RIGHTEOUS and GOOD is BAD, and doing what is WICKED and BAD is really GOOD.  They are CONFUSED, and they do NOT know the TRUTH, nor do they ACCEPT the TRUTHS found in the WORD of the LIVING GOD.  

 

But, THANKS BE TO GOD!! When a person comes to GOD for the SALVATION of their SOUL, they, who are SLAVES to SIN, and will come to Him, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, will RECEIVE, NOT only their FREEDOM from the grasp of SIN, but also they will be DELIVERED from an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY TO ESCAPE, once they are there, and they will be GIVEN an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  And they will have a NEW MASTER, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the ONE who made it POSSIBLE for them to RECEIVE this MARVELOUS INHERITANCE, through His VICTORY over SIN, DEATH, and the GRAVE. The ONLY PERFECT SACRIFICE for the ATONEMENT of the SINS of ALL mankind.   

 

They MUST BE WILLING to OBEY, with ALL their HEART, the TRUTHS of the  TEACHINGS in the HOLY WORD of GOD.   And to be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM their SINFUL life-style, and to TURN TO GOD, and become SLAVES of RIGHTEOUSNESS, with a NEW MASTER, the Lord Jesus Christ.  You can do this by:  ADMITTING that you are a SINNER, in NEED of a SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, the ONE who PAID in FULL for your SIN DEBT.  And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that He DIED for YOU, and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and become a SLAVE of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and let JESUS be your NEW MASTER.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
