For Everyone

Jesus said, "I have come that they might have life and have it to the full" (John 10:10). In chapter two of Acts, Peter is speaking to a crowd about Jesus. The listeners "were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, 'Brothers, what shall we do?' Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call" (Acts 2:37-39). Peter didn't ask wealthy people to come forward; he didn't ask popular people to come forward; he didn't ask "good" people to come forward. He said that Jesus' gift is for everyone who will accept it.

Jesus promised "living water" to anyone who would put their faith in Him. What He meant was this: our soul is thirsty for something, and only God Himself can quench that thirst.

God's grace is a free gift, but He doesn't force Himself on anyone.

The Bible teaches that a living relationship with Jesus is the sole purpose of our existence.

To begin that relationship, we

1. Admit we have sinned, then commit to leave our past behind us

2. Believe and confess that Jesus is who He claimed to be: the Lord, the Son of God

3. Submit to God in baptism to seal our commitment and receive the Holy Spirit

4. Begin walking with God daily--that's what it means to "live by the Spirit"
