More than 11,000 believers from across the State thronged the Convention Centre to join the eventful closing ceremony of the 75 Years Platinum celebration of the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC). Marking a significant milestone in its celebration, the NBCC also released 100 jubilee lamps signifying 100 years looking into the Centennial celebration to be held in the year 2037.
Delivering a message under the theme “One Humanity in Christ: The Finality in Christ”, the speaker Peter Charles Sulack, said we need fresh revelation to build the bond of relationship with God as there is a penalty for committing sin and unless one come and open up and seek forgiveness from Jesus Christ. Peter said Jesus died for us undeservingly saving from the grave of sins and shame to separate us from the sin.
“The gospel word, the church and the Baptist General conference will not save the soul , as it has a penalty for sinners’, Peter said adding that we tend to easily forget what God/Jesus Christ has done for us and that God’s focus is not the sin, “He wants us to have a relationship with him”.
The speaker said God’s abundance love for every human is too much that he don’t want to let anyone to go in hell, adding that the finality of Christ that has been paid is once and for all. “He speaks and guides, to those who know Him, trust Him and to those who have fellowship with Him”. Peter poured an opportunity to the congregation to change and said God has taken away the guilt and shame and he urged upon the congregation to become the righteousness of Jesus.
The celebration witnessed the most significant, amazing and eventful closing jubilation of the 75 Birth Anniversary of the NBCC. The Folk Fusion by the Platinum Jubilee Choir, the Lights of million mornings by Ajeen Longchari and the thrilling performance of the combined Worship team was indeed an awesome multi talent performance witnessed by the crowd.
