Inspection of the Lamb
The prophecy of Psalm 118 was written hundreds of years before the birth of Christ, most likely by either Moses or sometime after the Jews returned to Jerusalem from exile.
Psalm 118:22-23
The stone which the builders refused
is become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD’s doing;
it is marvellous in our eyes.
(KJV)
Mark 12:28-31
And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
(KJV)
Matthew 22:41-46
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

Three Questions
How?
Do you know for certain that you have
ETERNAL LIFE
and that you will go to Heaven when you die?
God wants you to be sure.
The Bible says,
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” I John 5:13
We are all sinners by
nature and by choice.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23 (KJV)
God is Holy and Just.
He has sworn to judge ALL sin.
“And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty;” Exodus 34:6-7 (KJV)
GOD LOVES US
He has provided a way to save us.
JESUS IS GOD AND BECAME MAN
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:1.14 (KJV)
JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:” I Peter 3:18 (KJV)
JESUS WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD.
“Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.” Romans 4:25 (KJV)
WE MUST REPENT OF OUR SIN
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19 (KJV)
Repentance is turning to God through Jesus and away from our sin.
WE MUST PLACE OUR FAITH IN JESUS
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJV)
MORE THAN FAITH – FOLLOW HIM.
“Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.” James 2:19 (KJV)
1. Does what you have been reading make sense to you?
2. Is there any reason you would not be willing to receive God’s gift of eternal life?
3. Are you willing to place your faith in Jesus right now and turn from your sin?
The Bible Says,
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13 (KJV)
YOU NEED TO ASK THE LORD JESUS TO SAVE YOU.
READ THIS PRAY AND SEE IF IT IS YOUR HEARTFELT CONVICTION.
Dear God,
I know that I am a sinner. Please forgive me. I know that Jesus is your son. He came and died on the cross for my sins, was raised from the dead. I am willing to turn from my sins and receive Jesus as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for saving me. Help me to follow you with all my heart, soul and strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen
CALL ON THE LORD in repentance and faith, using these or similar words of your own; and Jesus will become your Savior and Lord.
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD
