Before u re saved, u re first drawn by God. It can be through a message, some miraculous act or even a divine visitation. God has been searching 4 u 4rm d day of ur birth but u may have ignored Him 4 too long. He may have used ur friends, relatives nd different media to reach out to u, but His message have fallen on deaf ears. It is time to accept Him today so dat all may be well with u. After drawing u, d next thing God does is to cleanse u. Dis is wat is commonly called salvation. He said in Ezekiel 36:25 dat:"Den will I sprinkle clean water upon u, and ye shall be clean: from all ur filthiness, and 4rm all ur idols, will I cleanse u". Why does He need to cleanse u? Why not accept u d way He found u? It is bcus God is a holy God. He is perfectly clean. Because God is light, He does not have even d slightest dot of darkness. If d President of ur nation wants to invite a poor, wretched, dirty nd unkempt beggar who lives on d streets to dine with him, d beggar must first be washed, shaved nd dressed in presentable clothes. Psalm 40:2 says every sinner lives in a horrible pit. Every sinner is stained with sin. We cannot with our physical eyes determine how clean or dirty a person is inwardly. You may be adjudged d neatest nd best dressed physically, but be noted as d dirtiest sinner before God. Sin is such a tough nd permanent stain dat it takes only d blood of Jesus to wipe it off - nothing else! No sacrifice, no penance, no amount of scriptural recitations can erase sin. If d beggar picked on d streets says he is clean, does dat make him clean? Any sin dat God has not cleansed with d blood of Jesus is retained to condemn d one who committed it 4 all eternity. Are u claiming to be born-again wen u re still living in sin? U re engaged in self-deception nd endangering ur life. Accept God's offer of salvation now nd let Him cleanse u. Acknowledge ur sinful life, confess ur sins to God nd ask Him to cleanse u with His blood today. Accept Jesus Christ as ur Lord.
