3 High Stakes Gambling

You can quit that high stakes gambling by believing with all your heart on the Lord Jesus Christ. He is infinitely worthy of your trust. He has done much to win your faith and love. Believing on him is not a gamble at all but a sure bet for eternal life. He that believeth on me shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death to life.

Here are three reasons why you should not hesitate to believe that he is the Son of God. First, when Jesus Christ came as a man to this earth he fulfilled countless Old Testament prophecies. These prophecies specifically predicted the manner and place of his birth, his entry into Jerusalem, his betrayal, and his death on the Roman cross, his burial and resurrection as well as many other things. All these prophecies cannot be explained away by mere mathematical chance; instead they prove that Jesus Christ is the sent one of God.

Secondly, among all the men who ever lived, he alone lived a perfect life. He was perfect goodness moving in the midst of evil. He took upon himself flesh and blood, even as we have flesh and blood, but he never sinned. His mind never entertained an evil thought; he never committed an evil act. He was in all points like we are but without sin. Indeed he was the only man who never sinned and his holiness should convince us that there was something extraordinarily special about him.

Thirdly, his resurrection from the dead should be enough to remove all the doubt in any heart as to his identity. Others in the Bible died and had their lives restored to them, only to live out their natural lives and die again.

But Jesus died and rose from the grave and lives in the power of an endless life never to die again. All those who trust in him will share in the power of his endless life. I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live, he said. His holiness and his resurrection show that he is the Son of God. As it says in the book of Romans, And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness and the resurrection from the dead.

It is only through faith in the Son of God that any member of the human race can ever be saved. Souls are saved by faith alone. They are not saved by faith and a combination of something else such as faith and works or faith and charity. God has made the gift of salvation to be received solely by faith. He has done this so that all the glory should go directly to the one to whom it is truly due, namely the Lord Jesus Christ.

The odds of getting saved if you never come by faith to the Lord Jesus are zero, nada, and zilch. But thank God because he sent his Son into the world everybody who comes to him in faith can know with absolute 100% certainty that they are saved.

Dont gamble another day with your soul. Every day is a gift of God and you cannot be certain that you will have another day. Boast not thyself of tomorrow for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth, is Gods advice to you from the book of Proverbs. Come to Christ today and the horrible gamble you are taking with your soul will be over. There is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.
