“Four Words That Can Change One’s Eternal Destiny”

 “Four Words That Can Change One’s Eternal Destiny”

 

“I tell you, her sins—-and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown Me much LOVE, but a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.”   Luke 7:47

 

In the final verses of chapter seven, in the Book of Luke, he tells us that one of the Pharisees, invited Jesus to have dinner with him.  Jesus accepted the invitation.  And when Jesus sat down to eat, an IMMORAL woman from the city, who had heard that Jesus would be at the Pharisee’s house, took an Alabaster jar filled with some expensive perfume and made her way to Simon ‘s house.  During the meal, she snuck into where they were dining, and she knelt down behind Him, at His feet, and began to WEEP, her tears fell on His feet and she wiped them with her hair, and then she put the expensive perfume on His feet. 

Now, Simon, the Pharisee said to himself, “If He was a prophet, He would know what kind of woman is touching Him.   SHE’S A SINNER!!”  Some people believe that they are SO SINFUL that God would or could NOT FORGIVE them.  But this is what Jesus told Simon: “I tell you, her SINS—-and they are MANY—-have been FORGIVEN, because she has shown Me much LOVE.”  This SINFUL woman wasn’t FORGIVEN because of HER LOVE, but she LOVED because she was FORGIVEN.  We who are FORGIVEN of our SINS and are TRUE BELIEVERS, LOVE GOD, because HE FIRST LOVED US. And sent His ONLY Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST to DIE on an OLD RUGGED CROSS, so that SINFUL MANKIND, no matter how SINFUL they are can have GOD’S FORGIVENESS. 

In verse forty-eight, Jesus said to the SINFUL WOMAN: “Your SINS are FORGIVEN.” Are YOUR SINS FORGIVEN?  The FOUR WORDS that can CHANGE your ETERNAL DESTINY are: “YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN!” 

If you have NOT been FORGIVEN, then your ETERNAL destiny is spending ALL of ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  It does not MATTER how MANY or how BAD your SINS are.  The BLOOD of JESUS CAN COVER THEM ALL. 

 In order to CHANGE your ETERNAL DESTINY, you MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER, in need of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, who gave His LIFE to SAVE your SOUL. And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINS and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and KNOW that YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can!!!  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
