Bro. J.T. Strong has wrote a new Gospel tract for those here in the south who have a profession of faith, but are not really saved. In witnessing, we run into many who say that they are Christians, but their lips don't match there lives. He had these made through Custom Tract Source. The tract can be viewed and ordered here: http://www.customtractsource.com/Customized-Tract--The-Bible-Belt_p_484.html#This is how the back of the tract reads: In the "Bible Belt" multitudes claim to be Christians. However, Jesus said, Not every one that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven (Mt. 7:21). Has a supernatural change occurred in your heart that caused you to hate sin and love God? Many say, "I am saved by faith not by works!" We are saved by grace alone through faith alone in the finished work of Jesus Christ alone (Eph. 2:8-9), but Grace gives us the desire and power to overcome sin (Rom. 6:1, 14; Titus 2:12-14). When we are saved by grace God changes our hearts and desires (Eph. 2:12-13; 2 Cor. 5:17). Many reply, "But I know in my heart that I am saved" Jeremiah 17:9 says "The heart is deceitful above all things." Sadly, many will spend eternity in hell who thought that they were "saved" but were deceived. Some say "But I believe!" Are you sure that you believe? The Bible says believers will be conformed to Jesus (Rom. 8:29). Are you becoming more like Jesus or the world? Those that are friends of the world are enemies of God (James 4:4)? Christians do not live a life of sin. (drunkenness, drug abuse, sexual immorality, pornography, lies, stealing, homosexuality, violence, abortion, etc.) [Gal. 5:19-21; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; Heb. 12:5-11]. Although not without sin, believers don't live in continual, willful sin (1 Jn. 1:8-10; 1 Jn. 3:6-9). Please read First John. If you are not a Christian according to the Bible, then you are not a true Christian. Turn from your sins today and trust Jesus as the only sacrifice for your sins. Jesus alone can free you from a life of sin, save you from eternity in hell, and grant you everlasting life. |
