Won't You Come And Be Healed?

In the Luke 8:40-56 section of the Bible, it starts off with a synagogue leader who is at the end of himself and is found powerless in the situation he is in. He therefore comes to the Lord for the healing of his daughter. Jesus honored this respected man as he fell at His feet in faith. He never turns away a sincere soul! No matter your position in life, whether high or low, there is healing for your sin sick soul if you will humbly come to the Lord Jesus by faith. "You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly." Romans 5:6 NIV

Intertwined in the same event, a woman who also is in need of healing discreetly comes to the Lord by faith, and touches His garment and is healed. But the Lord, knowing just what had happened brings the whole matter to light for all to hear. You see, in Romans 10:9 we read that "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord!' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." Romans 10:9-10 NIV

When you receive forgiveness of sins from God, He does not want you to keep this to yourself. This great miracle is meant to be shared so that others may know and be lead to Christ also and that God may be glorified in this life and the next!

There was many people in that Luke chapter 8 crowd but only a couple came to Christ for healing. Like today, many are familiar with who Jesus is, but they have never come to Him in repentance and faith in the work of His cross for the forgiveness of sins!

Do I Need to be saved?
God is Holy (1 Peter 1:16); Man is sinful (Romans 3:23); Sin separates man from God (Isaiah 59:2); It is impossible for man to save himself (Romans 3:20).
Can I be saved?
God sent His Son to be the Saviour (1 John 4:10); The living Saviour invites sinners to received Him (Matthew 11:28); Forgiveness of sins and salvation can be yours today (1 Peter 3:18)
How Can I be Saved?
Agree with God that you are a lost sinner (Romans 5:8); Believe/accept that Jesus Christ died for your sins and receive Him to be your Saviour (John 1:12).

Precious Pearl:
"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:5
"For it is by grace you are saved through faith -- and this is not from yourself, it is the gift of God!" Ephesians 2:8
"... Christ died for our sins .." 1 Corinthians 15:3

Won't you come and be healed,
Won't you whisper 'I yield'?
