'Ye Must Be Born Again'
Matthew 7:13-23 " Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 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. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
Luke 13:24 "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."
John 3:3 "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL IT IS TO LATE!
I Thessalonians 4:16 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:"
Revelation 3:3 "Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee."
Matthew 24:42 "watch therfore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come."
II Corinthians 6:2 "behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."
Isaiah 55:6, 7 "Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him;"
"NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS." There are many ways on the path to everlasting destruction (Hell), but only one way to life everlasting, and that is through the Blood of Jesus Christ who loved you so much he died on Calvary's tree for you. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
YOU NEED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST! Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
DO YOU KNOW JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR?
ARE YOU 100% SURE OF WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU WHEN YOU DIE? OR WHERE YOU ARE GOING?
Of a truth, there is only one of two places you can / will go when you die, Heaven or Hell. It's your choice. Either you can bow your knee right now and receive Jesus Christ and the Blood that He shed for you, or you can wait until it is too late and bow before Christ at the Great White Throne Judgement to be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire that burneth with fire and brimstone.
Romans 14:11 " For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."
Revelation 20:11-15 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
IT IS A FEARFULL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LORD!
REPENT YE AND TURN AWAY FROM YOUR SINS AND RECEIVE THE GIFT OF GOD.
2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

"HEAR YE THEREFORE THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER" (part 2)" < Matthew 13:3-8, 18-23 >
Matthew 13:3,5, 6 "And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; (. . .) Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away."
Matthew 13:20, 21 "he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon (Immediately, right away) with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation (trouble) or persecution (treated badly) ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended."
Tribulation & Persecution
(1)laugh at you because you read the Bible. (2) say bad things about you.
(3) people don't like you because you won't do the things they do because God says it is sin. (4) whether it be listening to ungodly music, going to dances, saying bad things about others (talking about them behind their backs), because you won't steal, or you won't lie for them, (5) Try to kill you (murder), hurt you physically, and all manner of evil against you for righteousness sake.
Will you stand up for the truth, will you stand up for what God says in His Word, will you put your faith and your trust in God and obey His commandments (the Bible), or will you run when tribulation or persecution come because of God's Word.
You need to plant your feet in the Word of God. You need to be rooted in the Bible. You need Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 64:6 "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."
Ephesians 2:8, 9 "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."
Titus 3:5 "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us. . ."
Psalms 119:9 "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."
Because you have sinned against God, you will die (separation from God).
Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
Ezekiel 18:4 "Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die."
Jesus Christ shed His blood for you, He died for you, He took your place.
Romans 5:10 "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled (we were made friends) to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."
Jesus Christ suffered pain and agony for you. Don't think for one moment that because Jesus Christ is God that He didn't feel the pain and agony of your sins upon Him. He felt the sting of that whip as it lashed out at Him, the pain of being smote on the head, the pain as they pierced His hands and feet and nailed Him to the cross. He felt the agony of your sins upon Him. He felt the agony of your lies, your greed, selfishness, pride, hatred, as He took upon Himself your sins on the cross of Calvary.
Jesus Christ is calling out to you at this very moment , (All this I did for thee, that you might live. I suffered and died for you, I took your place. Turn from your sin, REPENT, turn unto me (Jesus Christ) and I will give you rest, I will save your soul, I will draw you unto myself, I will make you a new creature, I will change your life forever, I will sanctify you and set you apart, that where I am, there ye may be also. REPENT (turn from your sin).
If you receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you will be made new, all things are passed away, all things are become new. He will change your life forever. . .
God loves you so much that He sent His Son to suffer and die for you.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
You need to repent, turn away from your sin and turn to God.
Matthew 4:17 ". . .Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
2 Corinthians 6:2 ". . .behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."
Isaiah 55:6 "Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him. . ."
Matthew 24:42 "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come."
John 3:7 ". . .Ye must be born again."
Don't be as he who received the seed (God's Word) in stony places.
Don't trust in your own self righteousness (good works) to get to heaven.
Trust in Jesus Christ to save you. He is the only one who can save you.
John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus is the only way. The only way you can pay for your sins is in the torments of everlasting destruction, the Lake of Fire. Let Jesus wash you white as snow. He bore your sins on the cross. Alow Him to wash your sins away. Though they be as scarlet, and many, they shall be washed whiter than snow. Will your accept his gift. No matter how horred, awful, or great your sin, there is no sin that the almighty Lord Jesus Chrsit cannot cleanse.
John 3:7 ". . .Ye must be born again."
If you have any questions, send me an email. I would love to help you, or answer any questions you might have. I cannot save you, only the Lord Jesus Chrsit can save you, but I'd be glade to help in any way I can.
In Christ alone we trust. Amen.
