A New creature
John 9:39-41

39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

2 Cor. 5:17 “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”

In this passage, Jesus is saying we will be judged for what we know and what we had the opportunity to know and refused that knowledge. He is making the statement that the Father judges no man. He has left the judgement to the Son, and has given Him authority because He is the Son of Man. If you have met the Son and do not believe, you will certainly be judged.

So how does one meet Jesus? I will tell you how you won't meet him first.

1. You won't meet Jesus by hanging in bars and getting drunk. The only meet you will have in a bar getting drunk will be the devil or one of his servants. People you meet while drunk may seem like the best people you've ever met, but they are just like you. Under the influence of alcohol, not under the influence of Jesus.

2. You won't meet Jesus while looking for a sex partner. Jesus says there should only be sex with the person you are married to. The person you meet and have sex with, unless you are married to her, is just as ungodly and sinful as you.

3. You won't meet Jesus in a betting parlor. Jesus does not approve of gambling because it becomes an addiction and takes presence over Him. You heart will be given to gambling looking for that big win, which never happens, you go broke beforehand. Not to mention what gambling takes from your family if you have one.

4. You won't find Jesus in a crack pipe. There, you will find only the devil, and he will control you through your crack pipe.

 

5.You won't find Jesus in a whorehouse. The devil already owns these premises, and he will use the prostitute to lead you farther from Jesus.

6. You won't find Jesus in a porn movie. Jesus is against sex before marriage and porn is a mockery of this law. The devil will grab hold of your mind while watching porn and you will soon be obsessed with sex.

The only way you will find Jesus is to search for Him. Read the Bible and believe in Him. Ask Him to forgive you for being such a shipwreck from the beginning of your life until now, and mean it.

That Salvation Prayer that many are promoting as a path to God is not what you are looking for. I can't find anything in the Bible that says the Salvation Prayer will save you. Could it be a devil's ploy to make you think you are saved and lead you farther away from Jesus by making you think that simple little prayer is all you need to do to be saved?  It does give you the illusion you have done your part and you are saved, but there is much more to being saved than saying a simple prayer.

You are saved only when a change takes place and you begin to live a Godly life putting Jesus before anything else, leaving your own will behind, and asking him to help you do His will, thanking Him for everything you receive, and appreciating what He doesn't give you. Sometimes what He doesn't give you is exactly what you needed. You will teach others what you have learned about Him and His will. When you honestly from your heart do this you will be saved.
