"Sincerety" Is Not Enough

Many individuals are very sincere in their desire to be Christian. So many truly think that the form of religion in which they grew up practicing is what Jesus Christ and the apostles taught. Many ministers also sincerely believe the same things. They mean well.

Is "sincere" religiosity enough? No!! It is not a matter of "sincerity" or following the majority. It is a matter of finding the genuine Truth and finding the true way.

If we are willing to prove to ourselves that the One great Creator is the true God and the Bible is His inspired revelation to mankind, then we must understand that there is only one way to eternal life. And that "way" is through the true Jesus Christ of the Bible.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:10-12)

Prayer of Acknowledgement, Submission, and Position:

Heavenly Father God, I come to You in Jesus Christ's Holy Name. I acknowledge that Your Son Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, Who I acknowledge is above all, and has all Authority and Power in Heaven, and Earth, over, in, and through my life. Teach me all of your ways according to Your word and Your will. I willfully bow, surrender and submit all areas of my life, all that I am and all that I have unto You Heavenly Father, the One True and Living God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, under Your Lordship, my Lord, Savior, and Master! In Jesus Christ's Holy Name. Amen
