Why Receiving Jesus is Necessary

Receiving Jesus is the key in order to live in the eternal with God. Why is it needful? Why is it necessary? ‘Necessary’, is a word that can cause a reaction in some people.  The word implies ‘a have to’ or an imperative obligation. This causes resistance especially in those who believe that there are other roads to God. Some, for example, believe that possessing high morality is the road to heaven while others believe that all religions lead there if one is sincere and true to ones convictions. Is this true? Do all roads lead to God? Much hangs in the balance here which is why the word ‘necessary’ takes on critical status. Why is it necessary to receive Jesus?  Why don’t all roads lead to heaven? If you type the words ‘things that are necessary’ into a Google search bar, one of the first hits you will come to is ‘three things that are necessary for life on earth’. But what about things that are necessary to live life in heaven with God?

Who is Jesus to You?

“Who is Jesus?” is the question of the ages. As far as going to heaven is concerned, there are many things that have no bearing. It does not matter what tribe you may come from. There are only three in God’s sight anyway; Jew, Gentile and the church of God. It does not matter what your church affiliation is. You can be any flavor of church or denomination you care to be. Your social status has no bearing. Whether you are an outlaw, an outcast or a heretic to your circle is no consequence to God the Father. Your political views have no bearing on your standing with heaven. Your economic status has no influence to the God own owns everything and is the Creator of all. The only thing that matters is your answer to this question, Who is Jesus to you? God the Father wants to know; all of heaven is waiting to know, “What are you going to do with Jesus, who is called, the Christ?”

The more we align with God’s Word the more efficiently things work. They do not work as well the less you are in line with His Word. The church would get better results, you as an individual believer would get better results, the more you line up with God’s plan, God’s thoughts, and God’s ways. God’s way is the leadership of the Spirit in one’s life. The more you flow with the Holy Spirit, the less you try to do things on your own, the more efficiently things work. But there is a problem that has developed in America that is blocking the flow.

He is not a fairy tale – ‘we heard Him’. If you believe in Him, your testimony can parallel John’s. By faith, you can see Him. By faith, you can touch Him. By faith, you can hear Him. By faith, you can encounter Him.
