BAPTISM - COMMITMENT TO CHRIST

Mark 16: 15, 16a
And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

THE GREAT COMMISSION

"Go ye" this means that we are to leave the comfort zone of our life and "Go into the world". Too many of us are comfortable in our "easy chairs" of life and refuse to "get up and go". JESUS says that we are to "Go into all the world" not just our little social group or our Church, but as far as JESUS calls us to go. This Blog gets the Gospel out to the world; Pastor Randy has a sermon each week for those who tune into the Living Faith web-site. The Good News of GOD in Christ JESUS is going into all the world.

"Preach the Gospel" we are bearers of Good News in a world filled with bad news. "Bad news sells newspapers" but Good News brings the invitation to believe in JESUS and be saved from the wrath of GOD. We have a choice: read the bad news and believe it, or come to JESUS. When we believe Him we have Eternal Life with Him.

" He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Belief in JESUS is the beginning; Baptism is an outward sign of that commitment to Christ; the Holy Spirit does a might work of grace in the life of all who believe and are Baptized, they are saved. These are the words of JESUS to us. 
The choice is ours: choose life or death; believe in JESUS and live or don't believe in JESUS and die. JESUS invites all creatures to come and follow Him and be saved. JESUS invites us to be Baptized to fulfill all righteousness. JESUS invites us to LIVE IN HIM. Accept His open arms of Love and let Him embrace you and heal you.

BELIEVE JESUS AND BE SAVED, YOU AND YOUR HOUSE.
