Hear the Gospel (Rm 10:17) - Jesus, the Son of God was
born of a virgin birth, lived a sinless life, died on a cross to
bear our sins, was resurrected and is now Lord over all,
and through His death and life man can be eternally saved
through faith in Him.
Believe the Gospel (Jn 3:16; Heb. 11:6; Mk 16:16)
Trust in God’s promise to save you through Jesus.
Repent (Acts 2:38,3:19,17:30;Titus 2:11-12)
Turn from a life of sin to living a life for God’s glory.
Confess Jesus as Lord (Rm10:9-10; Acts 8:37)
An outward expression of your faith & submission.
Be Baptized [immersion] (1 Peter 3:21) - In baptism
you are buried with Christ, and raised up with Him
(Romans 6:3-4; Colossians 2:12). Your sins are washed
away (Acts 22:16). At this moment you’re added to the
church (Acts 2:41), which is the BODY OF CHRIST
(Ephesians 1:22-23) - the SAVED (Acts 2:47).
Remain Faithful (Rev. 2:10; Hebrews 10:23)
Continue to be faithful at any cost and the promise of
heaven is sure.

F ROM A FAR
By David Sargent
Ryan likes to watch Flip or Flop, the HGTV home
renovation show hosted by Tarek El Moussa. So when
HGTV ran a marathon of the show one day in 2013,
she watched a few episodes. That’s when she saw
something that caught her attention.
Ryan is a registered nurse. From her training in the
medical field, she saw something about El Moussa that
concerned her: she
noticed a lump in his
throat. “Halfway
through an episode
during a marathon, I
saw it,” Ryan reported. “I stopped the TV, rewound it, watched it again.
[I] watched a few more episodes...” Ryan believed that
it was something about which El Moussa needed to see
a doctor. She decided to email the show’s producers.
She struggled about how to share her concerns; she
didn’t want to sound like “a crazy fan.”
“We got the email and I had a bad feeling about it,
and just made the first doctor's appointment we
could," El Moussa recounted. Subsequent tests revealed that El Moussa had thyroid cancer. The cancer
had even spread to his lymph nodes. His doctors ordered thyroid radioactive iodine therapy.
Two years after his initial diagnosis, El Moussa’s cancer is in remission. On November 23, 2015, he appeared on the television show, The Doctors, where he
was asked to share his experience with thyroid cancer
and how it came to be diagnosed. After he told the
audience about his experience, the hosts of The Doctors brought Ryan onto the set. El Moussa had never
met her before that time. El Moussa and his wife Christina tearfully but cheerfully embraced Ryan, thanking
her for her timely assistance.
“If it wasn't for TV or her noticing this huge lump on
my neck, I would still be moving forward with my life
with cancer in my body and never doing anything
about it,” El Moussa said…

...Another diagnosis has come “from afar” concerning
EACH of us. God has revealed in His Word that “all
have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans
3:23). Don’t be deceived; His diagnosis is accurate and
sin is deadly (Romans 6:23).
But the Great Physician loves each of us very much.
He loves us so much that He has provided a Remedy
for our sin problem. That Remedy came at a great
cost. “For God so loved the world that He gave His
one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should
not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
God has promised to save those who place their faith
and trust in Jesus (Acts 16:30-31), turn from their sins
in repentance (Acts 17:30-31), confess Jesus before
men (Romans 10:9-10), and are baptized (immersed)
into Christ for the forgiveness of their sins (Acts 2:38).
He will continue to cleanse from sin those who continue to walk in the light of His Word (1 John 1:7).
The promise of salvation and eternal life through
Christ is "to you and to your children, and to all who
are AFAR OFF, as many as the Lord our God will call”
(Acts 2:39). He’s calling each of us through the Good
News (the Gospel) of Jesus (2 Thessalonians 2:14). In
Christ Jesus, those who are “far off” are brought “near”
to God through the blood of Jesus (Ephesians 2:13).
Won’t YOU answer His call through your trusting
obedience?
