I BELONG TO JESUS!
I BELONG TO JESUS!
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” —Matthew 1:21
The reason Jesus was named Jesus was because “He will save his people from their sins.” Are you “His people?” Are you “His.” In reality, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters” (Psalm 24:1). So, in one sense all people are His as the Creator and Owner of all. But, are you His in a relational sense. Do you have a relationship with Him?
“Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” —John 10:26-30
This passage is clear on what a relationship with Jesus is—to know Him. His “sheep” — those who have a relationship with Him—
- Believe in Him
- Are His sheep (followers)
- Listen to His voice
- Are known by Him
- Follow Him
- Are secure in Him
- Are gifts from His Father
- Cannot be snatched from His Father’s hand
- Are saved from their sin
- Will never be condemned
Does that describe you? I hope so, but if it does not, call on Him now and come into a relationship with Jesus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD6khv6pGkw Discover the life He desires you to have with Him now and forever. Yes, Dear Father, if there are any reading this that do not have a relationship with Jesus, please draw them to Jesus by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Precious Son Jesus. Yes, may this be and for Your honor and glory. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qMuehWzRKs&list=RD4qMuehWzRKs&start_radio=1
