In Nehemiah 2, the prophet rode out at night to inspect the damage of the city walls. While the Bible doesn’t specifically state what he was looking for, I have no doubt that one of the things he was checking on was whether or not there was still a solid foundation to build upon.
You don’t have to be a carpenter, mason or architect to know that you must have a solid foundation before starting a building project. No matter how thick or tall the walls, if they are built on a weak foundation, it won’t be long before they topple and fall. That being said, before we build up the walls around the heart, let’s check our foundation.
The Bible makes it very clear that without Christ, we can do nothing. Nothing! If you do not have a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, you may as well quit now, for you’ll never find the peace and joy for which you are searching outside of Him. He is joy! He is peace! And if you truly want freedom, you can only find it at His feet. I’m not talking about religion. I’m talking about a relationship with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
If you don’t know Jesus, and you would like to accept Him and His great sacrifice, God has made it as easy as A-B-C.

A- Admit you’re a sinner and in need of a Savior. It’s impossible to be saved from something if you won’t acknowledge that you need saving. Romans 3:23 tells us, For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. In other words, we can’t get to Heaven on our own. B - Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who came willingly to die on the cross to pay the debt for our sins and then rose again to return to Heaven, awaiting the day God will call all His children home to live with Him for all eternity. Because of His sacrifice, we can have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) C - Confess that Jesus is Lord of your life. The Bible tells us that even the devils believe and tremble. Belief is a vital step, but you must put that faith into action by surrendering your life and your will into His hands. Give Him control of everything you have and everything you are. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Romans 10:9) |
