Tonight I had the privilege of visiting with an old friend. Years ago when we had first met he was a Buddhist. Now, over 15 years later he lives his life for Jesus Christ. He spreads the Gospel in places most of us would be afraid to go. I brought up his days as a Buddhist and he looked me in the eye and said, “There is only one way”. That one and only way is Jesus.
That is what this Sunday’s foundation hymn says. “What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! Hebrews 9:22 says “In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Jesus is the only way to Heaven. The hymn writer says, “For my cleansing this I plea. Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
Along with Nothing But the Blood we will sing Are You Washed in the Blood and There is Power in the Blood.
As you sing these songs remember that the blood of Jesus is Salvation. Through His blood we are saved from penalty sin.
Romans 3:23 tells us that all of us have sinned and we have missed the mark that God has set for us. We have all come up short, way short. The Bible says there is a penalty that must be paid. The good news is that Jesus Christ has already paid that penalty for us. Romans 6:23 says,
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
1. All I have to do is Admit that I am a sinner.
(Prayer) “God I know that I am a sinner.”
2. Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God Who died for you on the cross, rose from the dead, and is Lord.
(Prayer) God, I believe that Jesus died for me and that He is the only way to Heaven.
3. Call on Jesus!
(Prayer) Lord Jesus, come into my life and be my Lord and Savior. I commit my life to you. Thank you for forgiving my of my sin and cleansing me.
This will not make you a perfect person. You will still fall short, we all do. This makes you forgiven. It means you have decided to follow Jesus. Just like my old friend did. He decided to follow Jesus and now he shows others the way.

The rest of our songs are:
Come, Now Is The Time to Worship
Come Thou Fount, Come Thou King
As The Deer
I Exalt Thee
