It's Still Not Too Late To Become Born Again

2nd Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

As long as you're still alive on earth, you still have time to repent of your unbelief to BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST to be saved. You DON'T repent of your sins to get to Heaven, you repent (change your mind) to admit two things: You are a SINNER, and Jesus is the SAVIOR.

Tragically, infidel Ken Ham in his perverse Answers-In-Genesis ministry falsely teaches that you must "turn from your wicked ways to be saved," but the inspired King James Bible DOESN'T teach that anywhere. Shame on the church and pastor who promote Ken Ham, and falsely tell people to "repent of your sins" to be saved. Jesus came to save us from our sins, He doesn't demand that you turn away from your sinful bad habits as a prerequisite to get to Heaven, which would be IMPOSSIBLE. No one has ever turned from their sins. All you can do is become a lesser sinner, but you are still a filthy sinner in the sight of our holy God.

The ONLY thing that makes me as a believer any more righteous than the vilest hellbound sinner, is the precious blood of Jesus that washed my sins away when I trusted Him at age 13. To be saved, you simply need to receive Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that He was buried, but then bodily resurrected from the dead three days later. This is the "Gospel" (Good News) according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-6. Trust Him oh sinner and be saved. Simply believe that Jesus did it all for you through Calvary's cross.

There is a popular heresy being taught in New IFB (independent fundamental Baptist) churches today, called the "Reprobate Doctrine." This false teaching says that certain sinners are beyond the hope of the Gospel because of their perpetual sins. According to the New IFB, homosexuals have crossed the line with God and are therefore reprobates beyond hope of ever being saved. I humbly disagree on a biblical basis. As our text passage of Scripture confirms in 2nd Peter 3:9, God is not willing that ANY should perish, but that all men should come to repentance. That is, God the Father wants all humans to change their mind (repent) to trust in the name of His only begotten Son, Jesus, as their Savior.

Jesus exclaimed in John 6:37, “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” There is such a thing as a "reprobate," but it is not because God is unwilling to save them, it is because they refuse to come to Jesus to be saved. John 5:40, “And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” Jesus didn't say ye cannot come; but rather, He said “ye will not come.” The choice alone is yours dear reader!

There are millions of lost sinners who will never come to Jesus to be saved, but it is not because God doesn't want to save them, it is because they don't want to be saved (Isaiah 59:1-2). John 3:20-21, “For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” Carefully notice in verse 21 that the Bible doesn't say “he that turns from his sins” comes to the light; but rather, “he that doeth truth” comes to the light to be saved (cf. 2nd Timothy 2:25). Bible repentance is simply acknowledging THE TRUTH that you are a needy sinner, and that Jesus is the only Savior.

If you have never been born again dear friend, right now is the time!
