Exposition
And it
shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be
saved – The two verses before this one tell a story that is real. On
judgement day, there will be blood and fire and smoke. The sun as bright as it
is will be turned into darkness and the moon will be turned into blood. My
friend, heaven is real, so too is hell.
Romans
6: 23 says the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal
life through Christ Jesus. Romans 3: 23 also says that all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God. That is why this is an invitation to the poor and to
the rich, the weak and the strong, the bad and the good, the learned and the
ignorant that to escape the grip of sin you need to call on Jesus. Jesus wipes
away the guilt of sin, sin will not have power over you any longer and that
punishment of death is no longer meted out to you.
The one who calls out is
helpless and is calling out to the only one that can help in this matter. The
Spirit of God will give you conviction that only Jesus can save you. You are
calling in faith that He will see you through. As you do so today, you are
delivered from the power of evil and at the same time accepted into God’s
family of saints.
Prayer
I call on you Lord Jesus. Save
me from the power of sin and death. I do not want to continue being half
hearted towards you. I choose life not death. I choose heaven and not hell in
Jesus name. With your help the door of my heart is open to you forever in Jesus
name. Amen.
