Don’t Let Your Doubt and Denial Get The Best of You!
Doubting and Denying Jesus is healthy when it leads you to the scriptures and when it strengthens your faith. However, there will be no excuse for not accepting Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord at the end of your life!
Jesus makes it clear that to say "no" to His invitation for Him to come into your life, forgive you of your sins and lead you to follow Him is THE UNPARDONABLE SIN! (Matthew 12:30-32)
But there is hope today, right now. (1 John 1:9)
Reach out to Jesus in faith today!
You don’t have to have all the answers, you just need to have the will to trust Him.
