Adrian Rogers: 5 Ways to Draw Closer to Jesus (#2089)

Published 2016-04-15
5 WAYS TO DRAW CLOSER TO JESUS: We want an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, don’t we? We want more than redemption, we want a relationship. Listen as Adrian Rogers discusses 5 ways to draw closer to Jesus.

--
How to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ

ADMIT YOUR SIN: Sin separates us from God. The Bible says, "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) The only way back to God is through His Son, Jesus Christ.

ABANDON SELF-EFFORT: If we could save ourselves, Jesus didn't have to die! Salvation is by God's grace alone. "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

ACKNOWLEDGE CHRIST'S PAYMENT: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for your sins. "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) Jesus died in your place and your sin debt has been paid for by, "The blood of Jesus Christ." (1John 1:7)

ACCEPT CHRIST AS SAVIOR: Put your faith in Jesus Christ and Him alone for your salvation. Receive Him by faith. The Bible says, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." (Acts 16:31) Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by Me." (John 14:6)

OFFER THIS PRAY TO GOD TODAY: Heavenly Father, I'm a sinner, I'm lost and I need to be saved. I know I can't save myself. I trust You to save me. Come into heart, forgive my sin and save me. I give you my life, I don't look for a sign or ask for a feeling; I trust only in You to save me. Begin now to make me the person You want me to be. Help me never to be ashamed of You. Thank You for saving me, Jesus. In Your name I pray, Amen.

If you sincerely make this your heartfelt prayer, God will save you! And you will be eternally grateful that you discovered Jesus Christ; God's greatest Love worth finding.

    I have seen Pastor Rogers more than one time nearly break down crying as he told his congregation, "I don't want you to go to hell!" He loved people and wanted them to know his precious Jesus. I'm so glad I found his preaching so many years ago. We really need more pastors like Adrian.
  • @leehopwood869
    So many pastors and denominations preaching watered down, ear tickling, grace and love sermons. So refreshing to hear God’s truth, the WHOLE truth, nothing BUT the truth!
  • @36742650885

    I was so blessed to have Dr. Rogers as my pastor for 10 years. My greatest regret is that I didn’t fully realize the gift God had given me. I loved and respected Dr. Rogers, but I didn’t fully grasp all the wisdom he tired to impart every time he spoke. He had the ability to teach and preach on a level anyone could understand whether a theologian or a newly saved person. Now I realize the full value of his sermons and cherish having Love Worth Finding allowing me a second chance to soak up the truth he teaches. I was just a blessed by his godly wife, Joyce, who was a true proverbs 31 woman and taught epistles without opening her mouth. Her life is an amazing testimony to everyone who encounters her. I am so grateful for having the eyes of my understanding, opened, and being transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. He gave me the ability to cry out, and he heard my cry and delivered me from all my sins. Will you cry out to Jesus Crice today? He’s waiting and ever eager to answer you! 13:11

    Though he is now with the Lord the Lord is still using him to convict people to turn to christ. How powerful. Thank you Lord
  • @noracurran5293
    How blessed we are to have hundreds of Dr. Rogers' sermons to teach us, lead us in such uncertain times. There's nothing uncertain in his faithful, uncompromising teaching of God's word. What a priceless legacy.
  • @briantaylor1535
    In the year 2018, Adrian Rogers is a man of God who preaches the Bible literally with complete clarity and truth. This old-fashioned type of preaching is so desperately needed today. Adrian Rogers was a gifted preacher who has led many to Christ-a well-done and faithful servant who will receive all the Crowns to lay at Jesus' feet. Adrian Rogers-a blessing to the world.

    BEST PASTOR EVER His teachings were super spot on. One of the GREATEST SCRIPTURE espositers in the history of the modern church. He went home to be with the LORD. But oh how we miss him and his pure teachings of JESUS CHRIST. He was the REAL deal. NO gimmicks, NO money schemes, NO hokus pokus shazam type antics. NOTHING BUT THE PURE GOSPEL EMPOWERED NY THE HOLY GHOST.
  • @ajames7597

  • @LinniePenny
    How blessed we are by having these messages left for us to hear truth!
  • @madhaviambler218
    Thanks from India🇮🇳.Wonderful message and the analogy of a kin closer than Boaz to THE LAW. Truly The Law cannot redeem mankind only Jesus can. I have read the book of Ruth several times but never saw it interpreted so beautifully. Your sermon has given an insight as to how to draw nearer to Jesus. I have shared this sermon with my friends. God bless your ministry pastor Rogers.
  • @bramtime8330
    God's perfect love casts out all fear... Hallelujah! What a powerful Word!
  • @michaelbirke6050
    My morning with The Lord felt stale. I read the Bible and the words seemed somewhat familiar but were lacking meaning. Then I came across this preaching by Pastor Rogers. It blessed me beyond measure. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.❤️✝️🙏😊
  • @izrael3542
    It is finished! Proclaiming 2023 as the year of the Lords favour!
  • @jerryjcowleysr1812
    I want to follow Jesus very closely and Worship Him with All My Heart -& - Soul .!!!!!!!
  • @readytogo3186
    Pastor Rogers has been with our Lord many years now, but I still love to watch him on TV and YouTube. I watched him for many years on TV before he went to Glory. One of my favorite preachers. He loved the Lord and loved people and wanted to take us all to Heaven with him. So blessed to be able to still hear his messages. I'm sure his messages are still winning souls to the Lord. God bless you all.
