2nd Timothy 4:1-2 "I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word!Be ready in season and out of season.Convince,rebuke,exhort,with all longsuffering and teaching."
Being Born Again
John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Jesus says unless a man be born again he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. This is not scary or hooky it is the reality of man kind that we are indeed sinners and need a savior. Jesus is the savior of all men but we must all respond to that offer with an unconditional surrender of our selves to His will. That surrender is done by acknowledging our sins before Him, asking for the forgiveness we need and asking Him to come into our lives and live by His grace. You can be forgiven, it does not matter what you have done in the past, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, Jesus has paid the price of sin in full and He gives that credit to those who come and accept it by faith in Him. You don't have to be in a church, or have someone pray with you or get baptised(you should at some point) just come as you are and He will accept you and save you. You will no longer have to fear death or anything else for that matter, instead you will look forward to His return and will have an eternity of joy to look forward to, yea it's for real! So surrender to Him you will never regret it, ask any true believer in Jesus they will be happy to tell you. Do you need to go to church? Not for salvation but you should if you want the joy to start here, get a Bible and start reading it, His word is food for your new Spirit, it will make you grow.
