www.jsm.org THE EVANGELIST OCTOBER 2019 3 HOW TO Live for God PART II I By Jimmy Swaggart

4 OCTOBER 2019 THE EVANGELIST The Priceless Corner We have set aside this corner of The Evangelist to show God’s Plan of Salvation. If you are unsure where you will go when you die, please listen to what God has said in His Word:

1. GOD LOVES YOU! “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” (Jn. 3:16). 2. MAN IS A SINNER, AND SIN HAS SEPARATED HIM FROM GOD “For there is not a just man upon Earth, that doeth good and I REMEMBER THE first time I uttered the sinneth not” (Eccl. 7:20). “For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God” (Rom. words, “How to live for God.” I made the 3:23). 3. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY REMEDY FOR SIN statement on a Wednesday night Bible study “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God ...” (I Pet. 3:18). “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other that the church does not know how to live for name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). God. You see, as the church goes, so goes the 4. YOU MUST RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR Jesus calls this experience the new birth. He told Nicodemus: nation. If the church is on fire for God, the “... Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God” (Jn. 3:3). nation will swing into line. We invite you now to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His In the 1700s, the great Methodist Church touched this nation and stirred it by Name” (Jn. 1:12).

In town after WE BELIEVE: town, the bars, joints, and saloons closed up because of no clientele; so many • The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God (Ps. 119; Mat. 4:4; Lk. 24:27). had given their hearts to God. • There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (I Jn. 5:7). • In the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His Virgin Birth, in His Methodists Sinless Life, in His Miracles, in His Vicarious and atoning Death, A man heard about the great Cane Ridge Revival that was going on.

When he got pretty close, he heard a roar so • The only means of being cleansed from sin is through Repentance and Faith in the Precious Blood of Christ (Rom. 5:1; Eph. 2:8-9, loud that he thought it was a water fall.

And when he got up, he got up saved James 5:14-15; I Pet. 2:24). • The Baptism with the Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:4 is given by the blood of Jesus and called to preach the gospel. to Believers who ask for it (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:1-7). As the church goes, so goes the nation. The Word of God says, “If my people, • In the Sanctifying Power of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life (Rom. 6:3-14; 8:1-2, 11). which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, • In the Resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the one to and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive Everlasting Life and the other to everlasting damnation (Rev. 20:5-6, 11-15). their sin, and will heal their land” (II Chron. 7:14). PRAY THIS PRAYER AND MEAN IT WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART: Let’s look at this diagram for a moment: “Dear Lord Jesus, I now realize that I am a sinner. I accept the fact that You died for me on the rugged Cross of Calvary. I now open my heart’s door and receive You as Saviour and Lord of my How to live for God: life. Please take full control of me and help me to be the kind of 1. Sin Christian You want me to be. Amen.” If you prayed this prayer in all sincerity, you are now a Child of 2. The cross God.

If you would ask most any Christian, “How do we live for God?” He would say, “Well, I’m faithful to DEAR JIMMY: TODAY I ACCEPTED JESUS AS MY LORD church,” and that’s right. “I pay my tithe,” and that’s right. “I witness to other AND SAVIOUR.

Right?

The Cross Sin, that’s the problem. The only answer for sin is the cross, there is no other. You can fast until they can pull you through a keyhole, but it won’t give you victory. It’ll bless you, but it won’t give you victory.

Bible Outreach to the Military I would like to thank you for sending Bibles to my military children. One of them, my non-believing son stationed in Syria, has read and related to me how much he appreciated the translations under the verses. I think your Bible may have saved his soul. He and I always had long conversations about Christ and the church. He never believed. During his deployment, he was constantly sending me questions on verses that he was struggling to understand. I did my best to answer, but with your Bible and the explanations, it has really turned him around. I pray his quest for understanding will continue. Your ministry and the military Bibles have given me an extra pathway to bring my son to our Lord. Bless you and thank you. I am still waiting to hear of any impact on my other son in Army Airborne that you also sent a Bible to. Bless you and please continue this valuable ministry for our U.S. Armed Forces. —Delaware

Bringing Forth Fruit So, what are the responsibilities of the new believer once freed from the authority and responsibility of the Mosaic law? We are responsible to follow Christ. The most outstanding feature of the new covenant is the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit takes up residence within us to guide, empower, instruct, and construct us into the image the surety that it can be fulfilled and made a reality. The worth and excellency of the promises are enhanced by the evidences that every one of them can be realized. Behind every promise of God we have the word and oath of Him who cannot lie. PROMISES Christ is made our surety, not only of all God’s promises, which He ratified by His own blood, but all the promises concerning God has made his promises very clear to us throughout his blood-washed children. God’s promises are backed by His faithfulness. “He is faith- the Bible.
