Two Things to Know and Two Things to Do

Two Things to Know

and Two Things to Do

1. I have sinned against God in thought, word and deed (action).

Illustration :  When I stand before Holy God and He shows me the long list of wrong things I have done, what will He say? Guilty! And the punishment? Hell Fire, forever. (Romans 3:23, 6:23; Hebrews 9:27)

But there is Good News for me:

2. The Lord Yeshua loves me so much that He died for me. (Galatians 2:20; John 3:16)

Now there are just Two Things to Do:

1. Be sorry for the wrong things you have done that with God’s help you will not do them again. Instead of living your own life, doing what you want to do, God now wants you to live a life that pleases Him. It involves a change of mind, heart, will and lifestyle. (Romans 12:1,2)

God commands all men everywhere to repent. He has promised that if you confess all your sins and repent, then he is able to wash all your sins with His own blood and make you a new creation. (1John 1:7-9; 2 Cor.5:17)

You have a choice: To obey or disobey God? Are you ready now to obey? (Acts 17:30)

2. Receive Yeshua as your Lord and Savior. Yeshua is at the door of your life. If you will open your heart, He will come in, to live within you. Are you ready now to receive Yeshua into your life? (John 1:12; Rev. 3:20)

In prayer, thank God and promise Him, to love Him, live for Him, obey Him and serve Him all the days of your life in the fellowship of His Church. You must turn to God from idols to serve the Living and True God. (1 Thessalonians 1:9,10;  Romans 10: 9, 10)

Five Things to Help you Grow in the Lord

1. Read the Bible every day. Just as a baby needs milk, so I need to feed on God’s Word, each day, asking the Lord to help me to understand it and do what it says. Simple obedience to the Lord and His Word. (1Peter 2:2)

2. Pray every day. Yeshua prayed all the time and teaches us to do the same. The prayer He taught His disciples is a good model. (Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4; 18:1)

3. Have Fellowship with others who know and love the Lord Yeshua. It is best to do it in your own home with your family. Read the Bible together, each one pray and help each other to grow in the Lord. (Heb. 10:24,25)

4. Tell others about Yeshua. Start praying for your relatives, friends and neighbors. Ask the Lord to help you to tell them what He has done for you. Share with them Two Things to Know, Two Things to do. Pray with them and help them to receive the Lord. (Matt. 4:19, 20; 28:19,20 ; 2 Tim 2:2)

5. Keep a pure heart.  By guarding it according to Your Word. I have hidden Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against you. (Psalm 119:9,11)
