1. JUSTIFICATION
Justification mean to be made right with God.
If Justification could be a scene it would be a court-room scene.
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace withGod through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1)
This first aspect begins once we repent for our sins and ask Jesus Christ to be Lord of our lives.
3. SANCTIFICATION
Sanctification means to be cleansed from sin, made a saint or Holy.
Many think that being a good person and performing acts of kindness will ensure their entrance into Heaven.
God requires more from us than just being a "good" person. We have to walk according to his word, which is the Holy Bible.
No matter how young or how old you are, it is never too late to give your life to God. It Is only too late once you have died. There is no purgatory, no waiting period where you will have time once you die to get right with God. The time is now. God is speaking to His people pleading with you to surrender and give your life and accept Jesus Christ into your heart.
You CAN have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Sanctification is the part of the process where the Holy Spirit dwells in us and through us.
We have been delivered and are freed from the bondage of sin.
If Salvation could be a scene, it would be a temple scene.
I beseech ye therefore brethren by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy acceptable to God which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)
2. REGENERATION
Regeneration means to be born again.
Being born again is the process of becoming a Christian.
During this process, our body and soul spirit which is also known as our temple, is delivered or purged from unclean spirits such as drugs, drinking, lying, cheating, sexual immorality, pre-marital sex and the list goes on.
Once we confess those sins, the Holy Spirit, which is God, begins to cleanse us and remove those attributes from our lives.
We no longer have a desire to drink or do drugs, we only want to do what is pleasing in Gods eyes. There will however be times when you will be tempted to go back into your old ways, but it is just a trick from the enemy to get you to fall back into your previous sinful lifestyle.
Understand that once God has been invited into your heart, your sins are wiped clean and He throws them into the sea of forgetfulness.
He has forgiven you 100%, no gimmicks.
If regeneration could be a scene is would be a house cleaning scene or a household scene.
Therefore is any man be in Christ he is a new creation, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
If you are ready to begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and invite him into your heart, pray the prayer of salvation and once you have, we'd love to learn more about your walk with Christ.
