What are accounts receivables?

3. In God’s kingdom, these accounts are held in
the inventory of God’s foreknowledge
of Hearts that will Receive (ables)
Jesus as their Savior.

4. What is God’s purpose in receiving our Hearts?
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the Heart of
Stone out of your flesh and give you a HEART of Flesh.” Ezekiel 36:27 NIV
When we receive God’s love, and give him our Hearts
God then receives our Hearts,
and gains a “Soul Profit.”
How do we give our Hearts to God so that He gains our soul as profit?
“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom
of God…Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” St. John 3:3-7KJV
How do we become born again?
“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.” St. John 3:16KJV
“…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. For with the
HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.” Romans 10:9-10KJV

5. Why should mankind give their hearts to God by believing that
Jesus was raised from the dead?
The hearts of mankind were made sick (became hearts of
stones) through the disobedience of Adam. As a result, our souls were given
over to Death as payment to satisfy God’s wrath against Sin. Since God’s wrath
is upon Sin, and since Sin has been placed in mankind because of disobedience;
God’s wrath is upon mankind.
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and
So death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned…Death reigned from
Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned.” Romans 5: 12-14KJV

6. As a result, mankind had no way to pay their
“Sin Debt” to God’s wrath.
BUT…..
JESUS, IN OBEDIENCE TO HIS FATHER BECAME THE
MIDDLEMAN TO PURCHASE OUR “BAD DEBT” THROUGH
HIS WOUNDED BODY AND SHED BLOOD
SO THAT GOD THE FATHER COULD EXECUTE 100% OF HIS
FORGIVENESS ON SIN, SAVE MANKIND FROM HIS WRATH,
AND DOCUMENT IN WRITTING OUR DEBT
“PAID-IN-FULL!!!!”

7. Jesus has complete ownership of
“God’s Hearts Receivables”
“All things have been committed to me by my father.” Matthew 11:27TNIV
New Hearts can only be obtained by Sinners’
willingness to RECEIVE from the GIVER.
“God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the
shedding of his blood—to be RECEIVED BY FAITH.”
Romans 3:25NIV

8. Judgmental Roadblocks to RECEIVING
Self-Containment – “I have what I need.” “…If you are convinced that you are a guide for the
blind, a light for those who are in the dark, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because
you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth.” Romans 2:19-20 TNIV
Limited Expectations – “You don’t have what it takes.” “…Save yourself! Come down from
the Cross, if you are the Son of God!” Matthew 27:40TNIV
Inadequate Expectations – “You are expecting too much.” “For whoever wants to save his
life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.”
Matthew 8:35TNIV
Abnormal Expectations – “You can’t expect me to do that!” “Very truly I tell you, unless
you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood, you have no life in you.”
St. John 6:53TNIV
Non-Deserving Acceptance – “I feel un-worthy to accept this.”“Lord, I do not deserve to
have you come under my roof.” Matthew 8:8TNIV
Despise Expectations – “You can’t say nothing too me!” “No one can serve two masters.
Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the
other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Matthew 6:24TNIV

9. How do I prepare myself to receive Jesus?
“…Anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those
who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6
“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has
Eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life….For as the
Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. And he
has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.” St. John 5:24-27TNIV
