Daily Devotion: AN HONORABLE DESIRE

Bible Reading: II Peter 3:1-9

Key Verse: Verse 9 – “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

Key Words: but that all should come to repentance

If God desires all people to be saved, then it is certainly honorable for us to desire the same.

It is an honorable desire for every believer to desire every unbeliever to become a believer. Since this is honorable and since I desire for all people everywhere to be born again, I submit the following on how you can be saved.

Acknowledge that you are a sinner. “There is none righteous, no not one...There is none that seeketh after God” Romans 3:10, 11. “All we like sheep have gone astray” Isaiah 53:6.

Believe that Jesus died for you; trust Him to save you. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:8. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved” Acts 16:31. “He that believeth on him is not condemned” John 3:18. “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life” John 3:36.

Confess Him before men to show that you trust Him. “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:10. “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?” Romans 10:14.

You must first believe in your heart before you can call upon Him. Now, in trusting Jesus Christ you have eternal life. Next, you should publicly confess Him before men, and then present yourself for believer’s baptism by immersion as an act of obedience and identification with Christ. Come to our services or call the Pastor. We will be happy to counsel you and aid you in your growth and maturity as a new Christian.
