The Sefwi Bekwai Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel K. Osei Fosu, has said that the gift of salvation certifies believers as God’s representative on earth.
Apostle Osei Fosu said this yesterday when he preached on the topic: “Receive the life in Jesus Christ” on Day 3 of the ongoing “Sefwi Nkwanta for Christ” crusade at the Tanoso Community Park.
Using John 17:9-11 and John 3:16-17 as scripture references, the Sefwi Bekwai Area Head said that Jesus Christ possesses life and anyone who seeks Him obtains life for godly living.
“As a Christian, remember that the old life is crucified with Christ, so you are a new person in Christ. That means you have transited from death to life in Christ,” he said.
He explained that the depraved nature of humankind resulted from the disobedience of the first humans, Adam and Eve. According to him, this weakness causes human beings to perpetuate evil and other sinister acts against their fellow humans.
He further observed that evil is prevalent in the contemporary world because many unbelievers (and, even believers) do not have enough godly (spiritual) life.
He said that Christians have been redeemed to serve the interest and will of God on earth and must, therefore, lead lives that conform to the image of Christ.
“You are not only saved from darkness to light, but you also become the representation of God’s light on the earth,” he stressed.
Apostle Osei Ofosu, therefore, urged believers to eschew all forms of unrighteousness (sin) in order to receive all the countless gifts in Christ Jesus.
“There is a big difference between participating in church activities and possessing the gift of God’s salvation for yourself. As a believer of Christ, give your all to Him, make sure you remain in His word, and live your life in Him,” he said.
