By The Mercies Of God - Ren Rutledge


No matter who you are, and no matter what you have done you have a friend in Jesus. Jesus did not come to this world to condemn us, but he came to deliver us from condemnation. Whosoever will may come to him boldly no matter what you have been guilty of, and you can find mercy forgiveness and a full pardon. Not only will he save you but he will place you in his will to receive an equal inheritance from your heavenly father.

Traditional teachings have resulted in many being confused about God, and multitudes have given up on the idea that anybody can really serve God today.

Please take another look at the Word of the Lord and consider the possibility that there really is a creator who can make a difference in your life.

Look away from mainstream religious views and grab hold of the Word of God. God is strong enough and able enough to show you his word and cause you to really know that he is there for you.

Here is what you should do. First you really need to believe that there is a God. Then you need to seek for him in prayer. Find a place where you can get away from everybody and everything that would stand in your way or hinder you, and just start talking to God as though you are talking to your best friend. Tell God all about how you feel, what you want and express to him that you want to know him.

If you will do that and go forward your entire life will change for the better, and things that once meant nothing to you will start having value while other things that seemed important will just fade away in the shadows.

Next you need to repent. Tell God how sorry you are for being a sinner. You may not be able to remember all that you have done wrong, and you may not even know that some things you have been doing are considered to be evil in the eyes of God. Repent for even being a human being that has not been serving and loving God.

Then you need to find a preacher that preaches the truth, and get yourself baptized in the name of Jesus. Most so called Christian religionsv have done away with the name of Jesus in baptism, but God still says that the name of Jesus is the name above all names and the only name given under heaven whereby we must be saved. In Acts Chapter 2 verse 38 there was an answer to the question... "What shall we do...?
Peter was God's chosen spokesman to give the answer..."Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."

So you must believe, Repent and be baptized. This is a plan that has been provided for us in the grace and mercy of God. If we will do that for the Lord, He will give us his Spirit and power to be able to live a victorious life in this evil world. At the end of all the stuggles of life we will be able to enjoy eternal happiness and live forever with Jesus.

Please also know that most religions teach that God is three persons. That teaching is a lie from the pits of hell. Run from that false idea as fast as you can. A truth Church and a Truth preacher may be hard to find. If you cannot find a preacher that teaches about one God who is Spirit that was manifested in the flesh and known as our Saviour Jesus Christ, please contact me. Perhaps we can help you. I may know a preacher of truth near you that can teach you right and take you to the waters of baptism in the name of Jesus.

You must believe in one God, and never try to divide God into equal parts. That is idol worship and those who are guilty are in trouble with God. You must be baptized in the name of Jesus. Using the words Father Son and Holy Ghost is not using the name, and a baptism that does not call on the name of Jesus is invalid. Matt 28:19 tells us that Jesus wants us baptized in the NAME of our heavenly father who manifested his presence in Jesus Christ and promised to pour his Spirit out on those who love and obey him. The name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost is JESUS. Contact me if I can help. renrutledge@gmail.com
