Come to jesus moment8/10/2023 ![]() We cannot come to God if we act like strangers towards Him. ![]() In the same manner, prayer acts as the effort we take to maintain our relationship with God. We do all these things because we want to maintain a particular standard health-wise. Prayer Is Our WellnessĮvery day, people take their vitamins, eat their breakfast, and drink their water to function well physically. Here are some of the untold information about coming to Jesus through prayer. While it sounds like a simple slip when we forget how to pray, the impact of separating ourselves from our daily obligation to pray is more detrimental than we think it is. Sometimes, when we feel completely devastated and discouraged by the way life is going, we forget to pray. Praying is an essential factor in determining how close or far we are to the Lord. Come To Jesus: The Call To PrayĬoming to Christ has a lot to do with prayer. Basically, baptism is our first “come to Jesus” moment – a beautiful and meaningful declaration that we live and die in Jesus’ Name. A person baptized is a person declaring that they live their lives “in” Christ. This is what happens when we come to Christ through baptism. It says that if anyone is “in Christ”, he or she is regarded as a new creation. “The old has gone and new has come” explains the significance behind declaring our faith in the Name of Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17). Romans 6:3-4 “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life”. It acts as one of the earliest foundations of our Christian faith. Therefore, we live a life without the weight of our sins. But, at the same time, we also acknowledge that Jesus paid the price. Baptism allows us to start from zero, to proclaim that we were sinners. It means that we accept the death of Jesus as our starting point to forgiveness and a new life. In Romans 6:3-4, it is said that if we get baptized, we get baptized into His Death too. We identify ourselves as God’s children saved by Jesus’ Sacrifice. Why do we get baptized in the first place? See, after being baptized, we declare our lives with Jesus. The act of being baptized serves as our first official public declaration and act we will do to “come to Jesus”. “Come to Jesus” is a powerful phrase that best describes baptism. This might be shocking but, here are the moments in which we are called to come to Jesus. So, even if we already belong to God, and our lives are already trusted in His Hands, we are still expected to come to Jesus. No matter where you go, you are still bound to come back to your house at the end of the day. Does this mean that when you leave your house to do errands such as buying groceries, your ownership of your house is lost? No. But, there are occasions in which you go out to school or work or run errands. When you purchase a house, it is a given that you own it. Our relationship with God is like our homes. But, here’s the thing – If we’re already with Jesus, why should we come to Him again? When life seems like a breeze with blessings upon blessings or when our life is full of negativity – These are all indications of our call to come to Jesus. It includes direct references to Quebec’s Charter of the French Language, in which the notwithstanding clause has been embedded by Bill 96 to suspend fundamental charter rights of ALL Québécois.Can you come to Jesus even if you think you’re already with Him? What does it mean to “come to Jesus”, and most importantly, what will it do? The answer is, we come to Jesus in times when we feel stressed out, during those moments where we feel like the world is against us, and those upsetting times when our burdens seem higher than our faith. Such a reference should also include his own proposed legislation, Bill C-13 on official languages. For several years now, our pleading has been ignored, but now that the Ford government has fallen in step with the Legault’s government’s pre-emptive use of the constitutional override, it seems that Trudeau has finally had his own come-to-Jesus moment: he had said publicly his government is seriously considering asking the Supreme Court of Canada for such a ruling. Many English-speaking Quebecers and community organizations have been reaching out to Liberal MPs, senators and even cabinet ministers, asking them to urge Trudeau to ask the Supreme Court of Canada to rule on the clause’s use, including pre-emptive use.
