GOD Said It First: You're Preapproved!

by Tonya Taylor

While we were yet in weakness [powerless to help ourselves], at the fitting time Christ died for (in behalf of) the ungodly.--Romans 5:6, AMPC

I realized a few years ago that every truly good and positive slogan the world comes up with is really based on what God said.

God said it first; this includes the phrase "You are preapproved!"

Jesus Christ the LORD, the holy Son of God, died a gruesome death on the cross--so you and I could have Heavenly life. We are preapproved!

God's Plan from the beginning was for everyone to have a Heavenly life (Genesis 1)! He wanted to have a deep relationship with every person He would ever create; for His kids to have a life of peace, protection, direction, abundance, strength, victory, fulfillment, joy, love, freedom, and everything else good!

When man sinned, he separated himself from God. At the proper time, God sent His Son, Jesus, to die for the whole world on the cross, and to rise again after three days (John 3:14-17), to give Zoe life (John 10:10) to all who will choose to believe and receive it!

Now, being part of God's Royal Family is a choice. Every human is already preapproved to receive Christ and have the Heavenly life as part of the Royal Family, but now, each person must choose for him or herself to receive Christ Jesus, God's Son, as Savior and LORD.

Receiving Christ Jesus is the best decision any person could ever make!

If you want to receive Christ, say this prayer out loud, for Salvation comes from believing in one's heart, and speaking (confessing) out of one's mouth:

Dear Jesus,

Thank You for dying on the cross to pay for all my wrongs, my sins. I ask You to please forgive my of all my sins, and come into my heart, and be my Savior and LORD. I renounce the works of the enemy in my life, and I receive the new amazing Life You are giving me now, and thank You for it, in Your Name!

But God’s free gift is not at all to be compared to the trespass [His grace is out of all proportion to the fall of man]. For if many died through one man’s falling away (his lapse, his offense), much more profusely did God’s grace and the free gift [that comes] through the undeserved favor of the one Man Jesus Christ abound and overflow to and for [the benefit of] many.--Romans 5:15, AMPC

Hallelujah! Now, having received Jesus Christ Who is your Salvation, your Zoe Life, you are not only pre-approved, but a precious child of God!

But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name—John 1:12, AMPC
