While this is a Special Message to LEO's (Law Enforcement Officers), It applies to ALL of us, so YOU are Welcome also!
I am not pushing or selling you anything here. What you do with this is purely your choice and conviction. I don't want you to join my church and I don't want your money. I just want to know that should one of my brothers or sisters in Law Enforcement makes the "Ultimate Sacrifice" today or otherwise be taken off the face of this Earth, that you know where you will be spending Eternity.
As we know in Life, especially in Law Enforcement, we make choices, some good, some bad. With choice comes responsibility. Either way we are responsible and in the final end the consequences come accordingly. This will be thee most important choice of your life here on earth and thereafter!
Basically, the Bible speaks about a Simple Plan of Salvation - The Truth is this:
-
That none of us are perfect and that we are all sinners. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." - (Romans 6:23 - King James Version of the Bible)
-
Realizing that we are sinners, we confess to Jesus what we have done or not done (our sins). You have to also realize that God looks on all sins as being the same. He doesn't have "degrees" of sins. It doesn't matter if you lied, cheated, did drugs or whatever - it is all sin. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to for give us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (I John 1:9 KJV)
-
We can NOT earn our way to Heaven! (Ephesians 2:8) - "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (Ephesians 2:9) - "Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8 & 9 KJV)
-
Jesus was crucified and shed is blood - the death of a common thief on a cross. That shedding gave us victory over sin! If He had not done that for us, there would be no remission (pardon) for our sins. "... and without shedding of blood is no remission." (Hebrews 9:22b KJV)
-
Jesus, having laid down his own life on that cross for us and our sins, was placed in a grave. He was guilty of nothing, but Love in the First Degree! - "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13 KJV)
-
Three days later he rose victorious over the sting of death!
-
This is really what the true Easter is that we celebrate. We commemorate that He died on Good Friday and was resurrected three days later on Easter Sunday.
-
Jesus forgives our sins and best of all - He forgets them.
-
Having confessed our sins, we ask Jesus to come into our hearts and to give us direction to our future.
-
Jesus comes in to our heart through the Holy Spirit.
-
At this point you are "Saved," You are what is called - "Born Again." - converted from your former ways and you have a fresh start in life and a new direction! A new unburdened beginning!
-
You are FREE of the burden and control that sin had on you. The "Old Man" is dead and the "New Man" is alive!
-
You also have the eternal security that should something happen to you, you know that - "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." (2 Corinthians 5:8 KJV)
-
A good book to start out your new found faith is the Gospel of John.
-
You now also need to get around those who will give you a support system to keep you from sin and make you accountable to our Lord, your family and self.
