I recently asked a suffering soul to tell me how he knew he was saved. From what he told me it was obvious that he had not been saved – but merely dry cleaned.

Friend, can you tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love? In Acts 10:34-43 you read about it:

• He came to be baptized by John (:37).

• At that moment “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power” (:38).

• “They put him to death by hanging him on a tree” (:39)

• “But God raised him on the third day” (:40)

• “And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead” (:42)

Once you know the story of Jesus you realize that being a Christian is NOT something that you are REFORMED into BUT a new TRANSFORMATIONAL birth into Jesus (Rom.6:3; Gal.3:27; John 3:3-5).

It is for this reason that after telling the old, old story, Peter commanded… “them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ…” (Acts 10:48).
