Reminder this Holy Week

I hate to break it to you, but you're not automatically saved by the blood of Jesus.

Yes, Jesus died for our sins but unless you believed the fact that He indeed died for you to save you and have a genuine personal relationship with Him, you will not truly be saved. And that is not according to me but the Bible -- His Word.

John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Luk 13:23-27: "Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity."

In Pilipino: Luc. 13:23-27: "At may isang nagsabi sa kaniya, Panginoon, kakaunti baga ang mangaliligtas? At sinabi niya sa kanila, Magpilit kayong magsipasok sa pintuang makipot: sapagka't sinasabi ko sa inyo na marami ang mangagsisikap na pumasok, at hindi mangyayari. Kung makatindig na ang puno ng sangbahayan, at mailapat na ang pinto, at magpasimula kayong mangagsitayo sa labas, at mangagsituktok sa pintuan, na mangagsasabi, Panginoon, buksan mo kami; at siya'y sasagot at sasabihin sa inyo, Hindi ko kayo nangakikilala kung kayo'y taga saan; Kung magkagayo'y pasisimulan ninyong sabihin, Nagsikain kami at nagsiinom sa harap mo, at nagturo ka sa aming mga lansangan; At sasabihin niya, Sinasabi ko sa inyo na hindi ko kayo nangakikilala kung kayo'y taga saan; magsilayo kayo sa akin, kayong lahat na manggagawa ng kalikuan."

Rom 10:9: "That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved."

I don't know how will you spend the rest of your Holy Week but I do hope you get to use these free days getting to know more about why we have this week. 

I pray that we all get to experience peace and serenity, above all the Salvation that God offers (if you haven't yet), this Holy Week. And may we never missed the point that genuine peace and serenity that our soul longs for can only be found with the one and only source -- Jesus.

John 14:27: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

2Ths 3:16: "Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all."

And only by accepting you are saved by the blood of Jesus, you can savor that genuine peace and serenity. 

May we never missed the whole point of the Holy Week. Have a blessed one.
