The Four Responses To An Offer Of Salvation With Jesus

 

What Shall I Do Then With Jesus Which Is Called Christ?
This Is The Most Important Question Ever Asked
How Will You Respond?

     Pontius Pilate spoke the most important question ever asked at Matthew 27:22: What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? Friend reading this anywhere on earth, how will you respond to this question? It's the most important question to consider during your life on earth. What you do with Jesus on this earth will determine your eternal destiny. Trust Jesus and go to heaven with eternal peace. Deny Jesus and go to hell with eternal torment. People study four years in college for a career that lasts 50 years but they won't take 5 minutes to determine where they will spend eternity.  I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this on earth will get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, say that Jesus is their God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for them on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

     On October 8, 1871 DL Moody preached Matthew 27:22 at Chicago, Illinois telling his congregation What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? He asked the congregation to consider what they should do with Jesus Christ and decide about their salvation the next week. When everyone left the church that day, the entire city of Chicago was on fire and DL Moody's church was burned with nothing left. When DL Moody saw the ruins of his church, he realized that he failed to offer salvation to 2000 people on October 8, 1871. DL Moody vowed that he would offer salvation during every sermon he preached regardless of the number of people. Like DL Moody, if you preach anywhere as a pastor or evangelist, always offer salvation to the people. The one person that gets saved by your offer of salvation could become a great soul winner that helps save millions of lost sinners all over this earth. Remember don't delay your response to an offer of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.  



The Four Responses To An Offer Of Salvation With Jesus
1) A Denial Of Jesus By Saved People Because Of Persecution

     The first response to an offer of salvation with Jesus is a denial of Jesus by saved people during persecution and trouble. Peter who was saved denied Jesus when he faced trouble and the possibility of suffering death because he was a friend of Jesus. Peter's denial is recorded at Matthew 26:69 that says Now Peter sat without in the palace and a damsel came unto him saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee; But he denied before them all saying, I know not what thou sayest. 

     Peter denied knowing Jesus cussing like a sailor to a damsel in the palace, a maid on the porch, and then to Malchus (the man whose ear was injured by Peter and healed by Jesus; I'm sure Malchus remembered Peter). Then the rooster crowed twice after a thrice denial by Peter where you had a preachin' chicken and a chicken preacher face to face. Eventually Peter repented after Jesus saw him fishing naked with the disciples. Jesus forgave Peter and told Peter three times Lovest thou me to erase Peter's three time denial. After this Peter became a great preacher that won 3000 souls to Jesus after Pentecost with a great anointing where just his shadow would heal multitudes of people.

     Don't be like Peter and deny Jesus because of persecution and the troubles of this world. Be a good soldier for Jesus and stay with Jesus through sufferings and troubles. 2 Timothy 2:3 says Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ; No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 

     Remember Jesus said at Luke 9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it; For what is a man advantaged if he gain the whole world and lose himself and be cast away. For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed when He shall come in His own glory and in His Father's and of the holy angels. Brother Bob denied his flesh in 1982 and left millions of dollars and his entire Jewish family to serve Jesus; As a result, Jesus saved Brother Bob and preachbrotherbob blog has reached half a million people all over this earth and multitudes of lost sinners have been saved with eternal life in heaven. 

     Don't be like Peter and sin where you blame your troubles on God. It's the devil that brings trouble. Remember James 4:7 says Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners and purify your hearts ye double minded. 

     Someone once told a preacher I don't have to worry about the devil because he's bound. The preacher replied if the devil is bound before the millennium, he sure has a long chain. But eventually during the 1000 year millennium, the devil will be bound on the chain gang and sealed and locked in a bottomless pit falling with no bottom for 1000 years bound with a great chain. Revelation 20:1 says And I saw an angel come down from heaven having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon that old serpent which is the devil and satan and bound him 1000 years. And cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal upon him that he should deceive the nations no more till the 1000 years should be fulfilled and after that he must be loosed a little season. 



The Four Responses To An Offer Of Salvation With Jesus
2) Remaining Neutral And Making No Decision About Jesus That Is A Rejection

     The second response to an offer of salvation with Jesus is remaining neutral and making no decision about Jesus that is a rejection. Pontius Pilate the politician is an example of someone who rejected Jesus because he made no decision about Jesus by washing his hands of the matter. Matthew 27:24 says When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude saying I am innocent of the blood of this just person; See ye to it. 

     When you make no decision about Jesus like Pilate you reject Jesus; These neutral people about Jesus always say If Jesus makes you happy Robert I'm glad for you which amounts to a rejection. Remember if you are not for Jesus, you are against Jesus. Therefore if you remain neutral about Jesus as your Lord, you have rejected Jesus. Jesus said at Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Don't be lukewarm neutral about Jesus like Pilate where Jesus will reject you. Jesus said at Revelation 3:15 I know thy works that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot; So then because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 

     Don't be like Pilate and make no decision about Jesus to avoid offending people because you love the temporary fame and flattery of this fading world. Instead be like Joshua who chose to serve the Lord looking forward to eternal rewards of peace and joy in heaven. Like Joshua, Brother Bob says Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; Whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood or the gods of the Amorites in whose land ye dwell, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 

     Be like Brother Bob who did not remain neutral about Jesus but chose Jesus and left millions of dollars to witness Jesus everywhere on this earth and save lost sinners. When you choose Jesus instead of the fading pleasures of this world that only last for a season rejoice and say Mark 10:29: And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. 



The Four Responses To An Offer Of Salvation With Jesus
3) Betraying Jesus Because Of The Love Of Money

     The third response to an offer of salvation with Jesus is betraying Jesus because of the love of money. Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus because he loved 30 pieces of silver more than the Lord Jesus. Matthew 26:14 says Then one of the twelve called Judas Iscariot went unto the chief priests, And said unto them, What will ye give me and I will deliver Him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver; And from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him. 

     Don't be like Judas and sell Jesus for a paycheck. Don't choose the fame and glamour of this fading world instead of eternal joy with Jesus. Remember earthly fame is a like a snowflake on a river. A moment seen then gone forever. The bible tells us that we can either serve Jesus or serve money: You can't serve both Jesus and money. Luke 16:13 says No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will choose to serve Jesus instead of serving money like Judas. 

     Money needed to buy food and clothes is not bad; It's the love of money that's bad; 1 Timothy 6:10 says For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Don't let the love of money create sorrow in your life; Instead choose to serve Jesus, rejoicing while you bless the poor fatherless orphans and widows in this world. When you've blessed and done it unto the least of them, you've done it unto Jesus (Matthew 25:40).  

     Remember James 1:27 says Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Don't be stingy; Build treasure in heaven that lasts forever by giving to the poor stated by our Lord Jesus at Mark 10:21. Rejoice and say Luke 6:38 Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Let's all choose to obey Paul's wise words at Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. 


The Four Responses to An Offer Of Salvation With Jesus
4) Believing Jesus While You Accept Salvation And Eternal Life

     The fourth and best response to an offer of salvation with Jesus is believing that Jesus is God who died on the cross, was buried, and rose again while you repent and get saved. The Roman centurion who watched Jesus die on the cross believed Jesus and got saved. Matthew 27:54 says Now when the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus saw the earthquake and those things that were done, they feared greatly saying, Truly this was the Son of God. 

     Like this centurion, daily look at the cross of Jesus to get saved from all your troubles on this earth. Instead of alcohol, drugs, and fornication to solve your problems, by faith place daily all your troubles on the cross of Jesus (the same yesterday, today, and forever) and your problems will disappear. Say daily I am crucified with Jesus Christ and by faith with your heart see your problems daily destroyed on the cross with Jesus (Hebrews 2:14). Then praise Jesus daily for dying on the cross for us all and giving us a place to daily place our troubles. Right now thank our Lord Jesus for taking away our filthy sins and giving us His perfect righteousness. Rejoice and say 2 Corinthians 5:21 For He (the Father) hath made Him (Jesus) to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. 

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes all over this earth with great peace, joy, and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 604-7133. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

The Many Ways With Jesus

 

The Many Ways With Jesus
Remember Jesus Is The Only Way To Heaven

     Thomas asked Jesus the following question at John 14:5: Lord we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus replied at John 14:6: I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Notice that Jesus did not say I can show you the way or that there is another way; Jesus told Thomas I am the way. In other words Jesus is the only way to solve all your troubles and get to heaven.

Not The Blood Of Jesus +Water
Not The Blood Of Jesus +Works
Not The Blood Of Jesus +Wafers
But
The Blood Of Jesus+ Nothing For Salvation
Trust Jesus Go To Heaven; Trust Anything Else Go To Hell

     Get saved today. Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. Salvation is as easy as ABC. A-Admit that you are a sinner. B-Believe that Jesus is God and the gospel. C-Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus. 

I Had To Add This Gem
The poor have it; The rich don't need it
And it's greater than God
Nothing


The Many Ways Wth Jesus
1) Jesus Is The Way Out

     First Jesus is the way out for sinners. We are all sinners that need Jesus to get us out of this troubled world and take us to heaven. Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Paul told us that Jesus is the only way out for sinners at 1 Timothy 1:15 that says This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. Paul also said at Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.

     In other words realize that you are a sinner needing salvation from only Jesus. Every dog has just enough fleas to remind him that he's still a dog. Admit that you are a sinner, decide to stop sinning, and trust Jesus for your salvation. Be encouraged and say Romans 5:6: For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet peradventure for a good man some would dare to die. But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 



The Many Ways With Jesus
2) Jesus Is The Way In

     Second Jesus is the way in to heaven. Jesus is the only door in to heaven. Jesus said at John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. In other words to get to heaven you must come in through the door Jesus. A Methodist must come in through the door Jesus. A  Presbyterian must come in through the door Jesus. A Baptist must come in through the door Jesus. A high society king must come in through the door Jesus. A beggar and a bum must come in through the door Jesus. A little guy must come in through the door Jesus. A big guy must come in through the door Jesus. Jesus is the only door for anyone to enter in to heaven.

     Note that there was only one door (representing Jesus as the only way to safety in heaven) in Noah's ark to be saved from the flood. Also note that there was only one window above at the top of Noah's ark to only look up to heaven and not look around or out at the troubled world. In other words, God told Noah and all of us to keep our eyes on Jesus above and off the people and troubles around us. Genesis 6:16 says A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 



Remember All Men Are Equal As Sinners At The Foot Of The Cross
Needing To Be Saved By Our Lord Jesus

The Ground Is Level At The Foot Of The Cross
There are no big I's or little you's with Jesus

Everyone has to go through the door Jesus to enter in to heaven
Educated people, illiterate people, healthy people, handicapped people
Everyone must go through the door Jesus to enter in to heaven

     A lousy boring preacher took an interpreter with him to China to hold revivals and save Chinese sinners. After preaching a lousy boring sermon, thousands of Chinese sinners came to the altar and got saved. A bystander asked the interpreter, How can so many people get saved when the preaching is so lousy and boring? The interpreter replied, Me not tell them what the preacher said; Me tell them about Jesus. Hallelujah, Jesus works in China. Jesus works in Germany. Jesus works in Saudi Arabia. Jesus works in Japan, South Africa, South America, and everywhere on this earth. Jesus is the door and the only way in to heaven. 



The Many Ways With Jesus
3) Jesus Is The Way Through

Third Jesus Is The Way Through Any Obstacle Or Mountain 
If you face a mountain, first try to climb over it
If you can't climb over it, go around it
If you can't go around it, dig a tunnel 
And if you can't dig a tunnel, ask Jesus to remove the mountain by faith

     Remember Jesus is the way through any mountain or obstacle. Jesus told us at Mark 11:22 Have faith in God: For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith. Jesus also promised at Matthew 17:20 If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Jesus Is The Way Through Any Wilderness
And sing the words below for My Lord Knows The Way Through The Wilderness

My Lord knows the way through the wilderness; All I have to do is follow
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness; All I have to do is follow

Strength for today is mine all the way; And all that I need for tomorrow
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness; All I have to do is follow
Psalm 23:3 He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake



Follow Jesus Who Is Your Way Through Any Trouble 

     Follow Jesus who is your way through any trouble. Paul told us in the KJV bible at Ephesians 5:1 Be ye followers of God (Jesus), as dear children. Note that the corrupt RSV bible falsely says at Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. This is incorrect. The devil is an imitator of God. Saved christians are followers of the Great Shepherd (Our Lord Jesus). I'm not imitating Jesus; I'm following Jesus who is my Great Shepherd. Jesus said at John 10:14 I am the good shepherd and know my sheep; and am known of mine.

And sing the words below for Stepping On The Clouds

One of these days, I'm gonna leave
One of these days, I'm going home
I'm gonna take my final journey
I'm gonna rest neath Heaven's blue dome

Steppin on the clouds we'll see Jesus
Rise to meet Him in the air
Steppin on the clouds, He will greet us
Oh the joy together we will share

I'm gonna leave this world behind me
Going where the devil can not find me
I'm going higher, higher, higher, higher
Stepping on the clouds

Going past the moon, the stars and the planets
I'm gonna walk, on the milky white way
When Jesus gives the signal, I'm gonna leave for heaven to stay

And sing the words below for the blessed hymn I Am Resolved

I am resolved no longer to linger charmed by the world's delight
Things that are higher, Things that are nobler, these have allured my sight

I will hasten to Him; Hasten so glad and free
Jesus greatest highest; I will come to thee

I am resolved to go to the Saviour leaving my sin and strife
He is the true one; He is the just one; He has the words of life

I am resolved to follow the Saviour faithful and true each day
Heed what He saith; Do what He willeth; He is the living way

I am resolved to enter the kingdom leaving the paths of sin
Friends may oppose me; Foes may beset me; Still will I enter in

I am resolved and who will go with me; Come friends without delay
Taught by the bible; Led by the Spirit; We'll walk the heavenly way



The Many Ways With Jesus
4) Jesus Is The Way Up

     Finally Jesus is the way up. Keep looking up for Jesus and soon Jesus will appear in the clouds and promises that christians will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Colossians 3:2 says Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Philippians 3:20 says For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself. 

     Psalm 121 tells us that the Lord Jesus is the way up for help to go to heaven. Psalm 121:1-2 says I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. Look up to Jesus who is our way up out of this troubled earth to heaven. Psalm 75:6 tells us For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south (promotion comes from the way up who is Jesus in the north). But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another. 

     Right now praise Jesus who is the way up located in Mount Zion on the sides of the north up above us all. Rejoice and say Psalm 48:1-2: Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. 

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes all over this earth with great joy, strength, and peace. Feel free to email Brother Bob at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 604-7133.
