Some people might say that they are not afraid of death. This should be the story of all Christians, but there are two facts we can confirm: no one wants to die, and most people are actually afraid to die. Now, if people are afraid to die, it is safe to say that they are afraid to die for themselves, let alone for any other person. Just ask anyone if he or she would like to die to save a friend or relation, and the person would ask you if you were crazy.

Well, there lies the difference between man and God, because the Bible says in Romans chapter 5 verses 6-8:

For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

From this passage, the Bible says that the death of Jesus Christ for us is outrageous. Why? Because Christ died for people who did not know Him. If a man dies for his family, people will say he is a good man. If he dies for his friends, people will say wow, what kind of death is that, there must be more to it than we know. But if a man dies for a complete stranger who does not even know him, not a few people will say he lived a wasted life. However, this is exactly what Christ did for us because the Bible says that He died for us while we were yet sinners, meaning that we hadn’t known who Christ was, but He already paid the ultimate price for us.

There is no other god who did this for its followers because they can’t. Jesus Christ is the only God who saves. When the ungodly was without strength, He died to save them. What a Savior! It’s because of this that God gave Him the name that is above every other, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, of those on earth and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:9-11).

The devil is in the business of deceiving people until they die. He deceived millions, telling them that they don’t need God, they can save themselves, they can succeed without the dogma of religion, they can use their own brain and intellect, they are better than those going to church and praying to God. He even tells millions that there is no God. If anyone is out there, believing the lies of the devil, please repent today and let God set you free from this bondage. In Acts chapter 4 verse 12, the Bible says:

Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

No man can save himself. You are too precious to God than to get entangled in the lies of the enemy. Please surrender your life to Christ today. He has the only Blood that is capable of washing away sins. Your sacrifices are unacceptable to God. Your self-righteousness is filthy before Him. Your efforts are completely worthless. Wouldn’t you rather accept His free gift and be saved? He is the God of Salvation, delivering freedom from sin and bondage. Please give your life to Him today, this is the best thing you can ever do for yourself. God is waiting with open Arms. Anyone who turns Him down will have no excuse on the day of judgment. You don’t want to be this person. No one should.

 PLEASE ACT NOW:
 If you are yet to give your life to Christ, you do not have a covenant with God and His promises do not apply to you. To come under these promises, please surrender your life to Christ today, by praying this prayer:
 Lord I know that I am a sinner and I am unable to save myself. I am sorry for my sins and I pray that you please forgive me. I am aware that Your Son Jesus died for my sins and I accept Him as my Lord and savior. I surrender my life unto you from this moment. Please take control of my entire being and help me to be obedient to your Word, going forward. Thank you, Lord, for hearing me. I have prayed in Jesus’ name. Amen.
 If you prayed the foregoing prayer, you have just been born again. Please find a Bible believing church in your area and ask to see the pastor. Let him or her know that you have just given your life to Christ and s/he will guide you on next steps in your journey as a child of God. The Lord bless you!
