Salvation Through BORN AGAIN children into immorality. 8 The children of wicked one who say that you are Christ and we are His prophets 1 , come be- fore My white throne. I prepared the food of locusts on the earth and the food of burning incense in the eternity - this is the Word of God, the consuming fire. 9-11 The Word of God, the con- suming fire, came to me and said – “The gospel 2 of My kingdom will be preached to all people as a witness. I proclaim today that you will be My witnesses till the ends 3 of the earth” - this is the Word of God, the consuming fire. Sharing Testimony in his college 12 He shared about his experi- ence of salvation with his mother and father who came from Hyd- erabad. 13 Even though they were little happy, they expressed their impatience with him. 14 One day he took the permi- ssion from his English Lecturer to share his testimony 4 . 15 That means -he shared about how the Lord has forgiven his sins and granted him peace. He 1 Mt 24:24, Lk 21:8; 6 Acts 26:29; sins. 6 2 Mt 24:14; Acts 13:48; The Salvation Is The GIFT Of GOD 132 3 told about what he received in life. 16 Then the lecturer 5 said that- you are preaching about your Christian religion which you must not do here. 17 The young man said to him that I am sharing about what My savior (Jesus ) did in my life but not about the Christian religion. 18 His co-students listened to his testimony. Some mocked at him but others thought about it. But he preached the gospel wh- ich talks about the way of New Birth according to the scriptures. 19 He completed his testimony by praying that would to God all who hear me today, might be- come both almost and altogether such as I am 6 . CHAPTER 36 Gospel Sharing ON the same day, he planned to give the New Testament to his Telugu lecturer. So he took the New Testament but he did not come to the college on that day. As he was travelling in a bus, he shared the gospel to a person (he was a carpenter) who sat beside him in the bus. He was convinced 6 . Acts 1:8; 4 Acts 4:20, 1Jh 1:2; 5 Ps 119:99; Jesus means the Savior who saves people from their Salvation Through BORN AGAIN 4 The carpenter said that he was attempting to know more about Christ. 5 He asked him about the book which has complete information about Christ and the price of that book. He said I will buy if he knows where it will be availa- ble. 6 Then the young man gave the New Testament to the carpenter. They both rejoiced in the work of the Lord and the young man glorified God. 7 II The Holy Bible became very dear book to him. If there is only one book he loves the most in the world, it is the Holy Bible which doesn’t have any myths. 8 By next year, on thirteenth of first month, he completed read- ing the Old Testament twice. 9 By twenty fifth day of second month, he read the entire New Testament for four times. Then later he used to read fifty or sixty chapters carefully and delight by meditating 1 and was in spirit. 10 He read the Holy Bible for five more times by twenty fourth day of March, two thousand. He ate 2 New Testament with a great satisfaction 2 , for less than three 1 Ps 1:2; 2 1:20,21; 5 133 numbering times, at the same date. 11 He was astonished to find the fact that knowledge * of the tree of life is beyond the Bible and man’s knowledge. 12-13 The young man underst- ood, and received the first word ‘in the beginning’ in the (Gen- esis) book of the Bible till the last word ‘Amen’ in the last book (Revelation) of the Bible. The smallest letters jot or one title, strokes 3 are commanded and permitted by God 4 to be printed and published. 14 He was without any doubt 5 about any verse in the Holy Bible. 15 He could not understand the injustice seen in his childhood. 16 But the Bible has solved all his problems. 17 So many pastors, fathers, preachers preached. But no one told him any time about the fact t hat one must be accredited as not imputes by the Lord. 18When he observed the rea- son for their preaching, he reali- zed that they were caught up in sin and curse and yet lives as Exo 16:16, Ezk 2:8, Rev 2:17; Jh 16:13,14, 1Jh 2:27.
