God says whoever turns from sin towards Jesus Christ will have eternal life.

“But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does what is lawful and right, he shall live because of it.” Ezekiel 33:19

By the Holy Spirit, Paul, the Apostle to the non-Jewish [Gentiles], makes it clear what it means to turn from sin and to receive Salvation through Jesus Christ. “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:8-10

Being born of water is to attest to our humanness, and we do not welcome the entity that replaces the human conscience and spirit by giving what to think, feel, do, and say. Being born of the Spirit is to welcome the Holy Spirit into our spirit by the remission of sin through Jesus Christ. “Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” John 3:5-6

When I have to be at doctor appointments, I think to myself, “My fleshly body is in the hands of the doctors, but my soul is in the hands of Jesus Christ.”

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:1-2

“But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:22-23

The Apostle Peter had his time of difficulties when he denied Jesus Christ three times (Luke 22:54-62). But he was very remorseful afterwards, repented, and Christ Jesus built His Church through the confession that Peter made, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” (Matthew 16:15-19). After the resurrection of Jesus, He asked Peter three times if he loved Him, Peter said “Yes”, and Jesus said, “Feed My sheep” (John 21:15-19}.

As followers of Jesus Christ, when we feel and think we have let Him down by what we have said or done, let’s remember His grace, mercy, compassion, and forgiveness that He showed to Peter.

‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
