✞ Were You Saved by God’s Un- earned Favor through Faith? . God had every right to leave man in his depraved and helpless condition because man defied and sinned against him. . Because of God's own gracious and loving kindness, he chose to intercede on behalf of fallen man and rescue us. . Salvation is ''only'' possible through 'faith alone' in Christ, his shed blood, death, burial and resurrection for one’s salvation. (Rom.1:16; 1Cor.15:1-4; Eph.1:7) . One must 'totally eject' that any works of righteousness contributes in any way to his salvation. When a person places their faith in Christ and his finished work for their salvation they are at that very instant declared righteous. . Any work of righteousness as a contribution, even in a small way, makes the traction between God and man null and void and the man remains lost. . The bible teaches no act of obedience, preceding or following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, such as commitment to obey, sorrow for sin, turning from one's sin, baptism or submission to the Lordship of Christ, may be added to, or considered 'part of FAITH' as a condition for receiving everlasting life (Rom 4:5; Gal 2:16; Titus 3:5). . This saving transaction between God and the sinner is simply the giving and receiving of a free gift (Eph. 2:8-9; Rom 6:23). . ➜ Please 'SHARE' for the lost on any social media if you agree. |
✞ Hey, Have You Heard the Good News Yet? . There are two options for us, one in the eternal presence of God in heaven, the other in eternal separation from God forever. . Most people believe they are going to heaven because they ''believe in God'', they attend church services, or they try to live a good and honest life. . But these people only ''hope'' that they will make it to heaven, they do not *know*. The Bible teaches that you *can know* that you have eternal life. . But how can someone really “know” if they have been good enough to get to heaven? . The answer is that your eternal destiny has nothing to do with how good you are. In fact, the Bible teaches that NO ONE (no one!) is ''good enough'' to get to heaven by virtue of their good behavior.. . Romans 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" . Righteousness is defined as, “God’s standard of perfection.” According to the Bible, no man meets this high standard. None! . Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; So you might be asking now, “If everyone is a sinner, and sin is deserving of death, how does anyone get to heaven then?” . Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the *GIFT* of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." . This verse says that eternal life is a gift, right?. Can you earn a gift? Do you have to do anything to get a Birthday gift? No!, a gift by deninition is free. . Ephesians 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God. NOT of works, lest any man should boast.” . Romans 4:5 But to him that *worketh not*, but*BELIEVETH* on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. . Faith is simply *believing-trusting* what God has said. God, being a loving Father, wants to have a relationship with you. . Since you are separated from Him by your unrighteousness, he will count *your faith* for righteousness so that you can have eternal life and a personal relationship with Him. . But HOW did God provide for this 'free gift' of eternal life? And if eternal life is a 'free gift' that I can receive, how do I receive it? If God will count my faith for righteousness, what do I need to have faith in? . Look, read these verses below at what Jesus did to save you, 1 Corinthians 15:3,4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that *Christ died for our sins* according to the scriptures; And that *he was buried*, and that *he rose again* the third day according to the scriptures: . 1 Thessalonians 4:14 For *if* we *believe* that {Jesus died and rose again}, even so them also which sleep-[died] in Jesus will God bring with him. . So there it is! To receive God’s gift eternal trust in Jesus right now and believe he shed his blood, died to pay for your sins and rose from the grave to gift you with eternal life and you are eternally saved. Please trust in Jesus now! . ➜ Please 'SHARE' for the lost on any social media if you agree. |
✞ Are Your Children and Grandchildren Saved Yet? . I know many, many, many families that do not teach their children 'how to be saved'. . Many parent never mention salvation, and let their kids grow up and leave home as lost as a lone goose and knowing nothing about God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit. . I am not talking about taking them or sending them on a bus to church 3 times a week. I am taling about a parent sitting down with each child and present the gospel of salvation to them. . Age range % of Children who receive salvation within their age range: * 5 to 13 years 32% * 14 to 18 years 4% - * 19 years 6% The older the child gets the less likely they will accept the gospel of salvation. . Please tell them that Jesus shed his blood, die on a cross to pay for all their sins and rose from the grave to save then if they will only trust in Him. . This is the gospel of salvation and this is what one is to believe to receive the gift of salvation (Eph.1.7; Rom.1.16; 1Cor.15.1-4) . ➜ Please 'SHARE' on any social media for the lost if you agree. |
✞ Is Salvation Really a "Free Gift"? – No Contribution Required? . Definition: Gift /gift/ noun 1) A thing given willingly to someone without payment of any kind; A present as "a Christmas present." 2) Something given voluntarily without payment of any kind in return. 3) When a gift is given and received it can not be legally be taken back. . When the Bible speaks of salvation as 'a gift' from God, it emphasizes the fact that salvation is something given freely, without charge, or man’s contribution. . Eph.2.8 - "For by grace[un-earned favor] are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of yourselves: it is the *GIFT* of God:" . The Bible explains that 'every person' sins in some way or the other and that he can *not* save himself from the penalty of our sin. . Ro.6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death; but the *GIFT* of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ..." . Remember the Bible tells us over and over salvation for us today is a *FREE GIFT* . Do NOT try to earn the GIFT of salvation because “if” you could succeed salvation would no longer be a free gift and it would be withheld and you would not receive it. . Let me ask you, have you received YOUR gift from God yet? Do you HOW to receive it? Here is God instructions to us today on how to receive his 'gift' of eternal life. . You MUST place their FAITH in Jesus to save you, believe he shed his blood and died to pay for your sins and rose from the grave that you will be justified. . Will YOU 'trust in' Jesus right now to save you? . Scriptural Support: Acts 13:33; Eph.1:7; Ro.1:16; 1Cor.15:1-4 . ➜ Please, please 'SHARE' for the lost on any social media. |
✞ Jesus - Six Agonizing Hours on the Cross....for You . A reading of the gospel narratives concerning the death of Jesus will show that He was nailed to the cross at 9 o'clock in the morning, and didn’t die until 3 in the afternoon. . The agony in the Garden of Gethsemene the night before had been an ordeal in prayer before His Father that we can scarcely understand. The writer of Hebrews comments on this incident, . "Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;" --Hebrews 5:7, 8 . Then, too, Jesus had been up the rest of the night without sleep enduring scourging, beating, cruel mockery and unspeakable brutality. He was already weakened when he carried his cross, stumbling, to the place of crucifixion. . Death by crucifixion: The nailing of hands and feet forced the victims to push up against the weight of his own body to take a single breath. . In the hot sun, terrible thirst ensued and death came in most cases from suffocation amidst great pain. . The victim was also naked and publically humiliated---death on the cross was reserved for the most wretched of all criminals. . There is so much more to the death of Jesus on the cross than the 'visible suffering', terrible pain and suffering, and the incredible ignominy of such a horrible death for One who was not only innocent but also the very Son of God. . Jesus took upon Himself the sins of all mankind when He died for us on the cross, but He also met fully the onslaught of demons, fallen angels, and all the power of evil forces in the heavens as well, disarming all of them completely. . Because Jesus loves you and me so much he suffered this horrific death to pay for our sins, shedding his blood and then rose from the grave to provide you with eternal life. . . Won’t you please place your trust in Jesus now? Read the next verse to learn how... . 1 Thessalonians 4:14 “For *if* we "believe" that *Jesus died and rose again*, even so them also which sleep-[died] in Jesus will God bring with him. . ➜ Please 'SHARE' for the lost on any social media if you agree. |
✞ What Shall A Man Give In Exchange For His Soul? . Jesus himself asked the profoundly simple question, "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul." Matt.16:26. It is of no profit. Nothing is more important than our eternal salvation. . Salvation is absolutely necessary because: . (1) man is a sinner by nature and choice [Romans 3:23; 5:12], (2) he is under the condemnation of God [Romans 5:18] (3) he will not escape the judgment of God [Romans 2:3] (4) he cannot save himself by good behavior, human efforts [Romans 4:4]. . The Bible says we are saved by God's grace and received through faith. (Eph.2: ![]() . It was God's *grace* that made provision for our salvation. He sent His Son into the world "that He (Jesus), by the grace of God, might taste death, and then resurrection for everyone." (Heb.2:9) . Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. He carried our sins to the cross of Calvary, and there He poured out His life blood on our behalf. He suffered and died in our place. And He rose again, a living Savior. . (Supporting verses: to: Rom.1:16; 1Cor.15:1-4; Eph.1:7) . Please place your faith in Jesus, his shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection now for your eternal salvation. . ➜ Please 'SHARE' on any social media if you agree. |
✞Once Saved - Do We Ask God’s Forgiveness Over and Over? . Sin is sin and we should never take it lightly,(Eph. 5:6). God does not take it lightly as it requires the blood sacrifice of his Son, his death on the cross and resurrection to pay the penalty for our sins. . One sin condemns us to death just like Adam and Eve. Christ saves us from judgment for our sins with the work he accomplished at the cross and resurrection. He provided total forgiveness, and the gift of eternal life, paid by Jesus. . As a child of God we do not need to ask God to forgive us over and over again because *he already has forgiven us*. The work is completed! Of the last sayings of Christ on the cross, none is more poignant than His very last utterance, “It is finished!” . Jesus came from heaven and became a man to die on the cross to pay our sin debt in full and then just before he gave us his spirit he said, “It is finished." . The Greek word translated “it is finished” is tetelestai, an accounting term that means “paid in full.” When Jesus uttered those words, He was declaring the sin debt owed to His Father was wiped away 'completely' and 'forever'. . Not that Jesus wiped away any debt that He owed to the Father; rather, Jesus eliminated the all debt owed by mankind—the debt of our sins. . “In whom we *have-[resent tense] redemption through his blood, even the *forgiveness of sins* ” – Colossians 1:14 . Our conversation to God should be *belief and gratitude* that he has forgiven us through Christ’s blood! If you are married would you ask your spouse several times a day to marry you? Why not? . If you offend a spouse it is appropriate to tell him or her you are very sorry, you did something you shouldn't have but you wouldn't ask "will you marry me?" Because you are already married for life. . What about if you have not received salvation, eternal life with Jesus forever? . The sole condition for receiving salvation is 'faith alone' that Jesus Christ died a substitutionary death on the cross for our sins and rose bodily from the tomb to offer you eternal life. (1 Cor. 15: 1-4; 1 Thess. 4:14; Rom 4:25) . ➜ Please 'SHARE' for the lost on social media if you agree. |

✞ If You Died Today... Where Would You End Up? . Did you know 151,600 people die each day, ...is it even remotely possible you may be one? Many die in an accident unexpectedly. Traffic accidents kill 1.24 million people each year. . A decision you make in this life time will determine your destiny and you can not change your mind after you die...it will be too late. . Would you like the opportunity to make your 'once in a life time' decision today...right now? This is the decision that will determine your eternal destiny. . The Holy Bible says, that every person sins and fails to obey and glorify God. God is holy and he does not take sin lightly. The punishment for sinning is death eternally, separated from God forever. . The good news (gospel) is that if you accept his free gift of eternal life BEFORE you die, he will raise you from the dead and bring you to heaven to live with him for eternity. It all depends on you! What do you say? . God said, "Who will have *all men* to be SAVED, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." - 1Tim.2.4 . Would you like to come to the "knowledge of truth'' right now and receive God's gift of eternal life? Many do not know how to, or how to tell you how to but I will allow God's word to show you. . Apostle Paul said, For I am not ashamed of *the Gospel of Christ*: for it is the power of God to *SALVATION* to everyone that *BELIEVETH*-[trusts-in] the gospel message" . If I show you the "Gospel of Christ" message that will SAVE everyone who "BELIEVETH" would you place your faith in that message and accept salvation now? . Fist lets define "believe." *BELIEVE: definition: complete 'trust' or confidence in someone or something, even though we have no possible way of “knowing” it to be true. We have 'faith' or 'trust' it is true but again, we can't prove it. . How to be saved: Trust in Jesus to save you, believing he shed his blood, died to pay for your sins and rose form the tomb to save you. At the moment of salvation the Holy Spirit indwells within you, you have accepted forgiveness and are saved .. Please trust in Jesus to save you now! .

✞ How God Instructs Us To Receive Salvation . Please allow me to show you from the Bible how God instructs us through the apostle, Paul, to receive salvation in the church age of today. . Our apostle, Paul, states in Romans 1:16... . vs.16 " For I am not ashamed of the *Gospel of Christ* for it-[the Gospel of Christ] is the power of God unto salvation to every one that *believeth*-[trust-in] to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." . Do you agree Paul says in the verse above that he is not ashamed of the *Gospel of Christ* as that gospel message has the power to save anyone who believes in it? . Also we know in the Bible that believe means to trust-in and not to merely intellectual ascend. . If you agree, then now all we need to do to locate God's instruction for salvation that Paul says is located in the *Gospel of Christ* message, right? . Paul tell us below this gospel that saves everyone who will believe. Paul reveals the gospel below in the most concise terms as found any where in the scriptures the gospel message we must place our trust in to be saved. . ~ The Gospel of Christ ~ 1. Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you *the gospel* which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also *YE ARE SAVED*, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that *Christ died for our sins* according to the scriptures; 4 And that *he was buried*, and that *he rose again* the third day according to the scriptures: -1Cor.15.1-4 . As you can see, salvation is predicated on faith in Jesus, believing-[trusting] he died on the cross to pay for our sins and rose from the grave to gift us with eternal life. .

✞ God's Salvation Instruction for Today . As long as the *the dispensation of the grace of God* lasts, the 'Gospel of God's grace' MUST be preached on. . Paul said, "If ye have heard of the *dispensation of the grace of God* which is given me to you..." . The need for the *gospel of Grace* arises out of the natural state of the human heart, which is essentially legalistic. . The cardinal error against which the Gospel has to contend is the inveterate tendency of men to attempt to ~☞ rely on their own performances ☜~ to be accepted by God. . The great antagonist to the truth is the "pride of man", which causes him to imagine that he can be, in part at least, be his own savior. . This error is the prolific mother of a multitude of today's heresies. It is by this falsehood that the 'pure' stream of the gospel, passing through human channels, has been polluted. . The gospel for us today declares we *MUST* place our FAITH in Jesus to save us, believing he shed his blood and died to pay for our sins and rose from the grave that we would be saved. . Note: Nothing may be added to the gospel nor omitted. Will 'YOU' 'trust in' Jesus alone right now to save you? .

✞ Will YOU Go To Heaven? How Do You Know? . What Most People Think... . There may be as many opinions on who gets to go to heaven as there are people. Here are a few of the most popular ones: . *Whoever obeys the Ten Commandments will go to heaven. *Whoever goes to church will go to heaven. *Whoever does more good things than bad things will go to heaven. *Whoever believes in God will go to heaven. *Whoever has not killed anyone or done anything really bad will go to heaven. *Everyone in a Christian household will go to heaven. . These opinions may seem OK, but guess what? They are all wrong! . “If none of these are correct, who gets to go to heaven?” you may ask. The answer is simple. The people who are the ones who “are right with God” . . What do "I" do...to be accepted by God? Nothing! There is nothing "YOU" can do to make yourself acceptable to God. I bet your thinking "That's crazy, how do I get right then?" . God knew there was nothing man could do to earn acceptance with Him by any effort on man's part. . The answer on how to be made right and completely accepted by God is found only in "the Gospel of Christ." Many people do not know the Bible well enough themselves to know this or what it says. . Apostle Paul tells us, . "“For I am not ashamed of *the Gospel of Christ*: for it is the power of God *to salvation* to every one that *believeth*;...” --Ro. 1:16 . Read this verse slowly and carefully again. Doesn't it say 'exactly' what I told you that salvation is found in the *Gospel of Christ*? . Doesn't it say the *Gospel of Christ* message has the power and instructions to save EVERYONE who believes? Believe means to rely on or trust in and not mere intellectual assenting. . ~ The Gospel of Christ Message ~ Trust in Jesus, believing his death and resurrection from the tomb to save you [See Ro.1.16; 1Cor.15.1-4] . Our eternal destination is determined in our earthly lifetime by our reception or rejection of the "Gospel of Christ" message. . Will you, right now, place your faith (trust) that Jesus shed his blood and died to pay for your sins and rose from the grave to save you? . ➜ Please, please 'SHARE' for the lost on any social media as you like if you agree. |
✞God Instructs In the ‘Gospel of Christ’ for Salvation...Did You Obey? . I read in a church's poll up to 80 - 90% of 'church-goers' were un- acquainted with the *Gospel of Christ* . This is the gospel message God *requires* us to believe-[trust-in] to be saved. 80% plus church-goers didn’t know what it is....how did they get saved? . This begs the question, if God instructs us to have faith in the *Gospel of Christ* for our salvation and some don’t know what it is...how were they saved”...how could they teach their children and friends to be saved? . I guess this estimate is not too far off the mark as evidenced by the large numbers of people who are still trying to *EARN* which God has freely offered them as a “free gift”. . Allow me to share salvation instructions God gave apostle Paul to present to us, a message that we must obey, the truth Paul revealed was: . *I am proud of the *Gospel of Christ* because it has the power to SAVE everyone who will believe- [trust-in] it. [See Ro.1.16.] Have you trusted in the *Gospel of Christ* message to receive your salvation? . ~The Gospel of Christ~ ”...I declare unto you *the gospel* which I preached unto you... by *which also ye are SAVED*... For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that *Christ died for our sins*... And that *he was buried*, and that *he rose again* the third day... [1Cor.15.1-4] A person yesterday stated “I invited Jesus into my heart many years ago.” With all the kindness, goodwill and love I have, I must honestly say, the Bible never instructs us or even hints we can be saved that way. . Yes, God comes into our heart but not by inviting but "believing". The Bible states approx. 150 times we are saved by BELIEVING. God instructs us to have *faith* in Jesus, to trust in his shed blood, death and resurrection is what saves us. . ➜ Please, please 'SHARE' for the lost on any social media if you agree. |

✞ Really 'Sure' You Are Trusting Jesus To Save You? . It’s all over for me, a pastor friend thought. After visiting a leper colony in Kano, one of the lepers *touched him*. He said that he was sure he had been infected with the terrible disease. . He thought it wouldn’t be long before it spread throughout his body. He said he could picture myself bleeding to death from a cut, losing parts of my fingers and toes. Thankfully, his doctor *assured him* several times that even though the disease is contagious, normal healthy people can’t get it that way. . But my friend didn’t really *BELIEVE-TRUST* the doctor, not really, he said he did....but he really didn't. . Many people take this same approach when it comes to their own salvation. They *SAY*, "I trusted Jesus to save me, believe he died to pay for 'all’ my sins and rose from the tomb to give me eternal life, but..... . But they don’t really, really believe what God has said, as shown by their daily life. Instead of having faith in Jesus and what he did, they rely upon continually confessing their sins over and over each day, asking for forgiveness again and again, and being the best person they can be, just in case God is wrong. . Now, that is definitely *NOT* faith, and it won’t save them. The faith that saves us *takes God at His word* and *believes*-[trusts-in.] He means just what He says. . Saving faith/believing is TRUSTING in and relying up what God word says and what Jesus did to save us. How many sins were in the future when Jesus died for them? God is not confined by time or space as we are, he created it. He looked down the long corridor of time from Adam to the last man that dies and paid the price for forgiveness of all sins. . You don’t need a seminary degree to understand this, but you need to have the humble heart of a child to embrace Christ, TRUST him to save you! . Here’s a test: Are you holding on to any of your good deeds to make it to Heaven, just in case God doesn’t know what He’s talking about? . Maybe you think you have to confess your sins every day to stay 'tuned up' and be saved. . If 'YES' you’re living in 'FEAR' and 'insecurity' because you’re afraid of messing up and missing out on eternal life. Believe me, friend, God knows what He’s talking about. *Trust Him* right now, and you won’t be disappointed. . The sole condition for salvation is *FAITH alone* that Jesus died a substitutionary death on the cross for 'ALL' our sins and rose bodily from the dead for our salvation. (Eph.1.6, Ro.1.16, 1 Cor. 15: 1-4; 1 Thess. 4:14) . Trust Jesus now and stop doubting. . @ If you are already a Christian, then please *share* this Gospel message on any social media for the lost. |

✞ Good Deeds...Will Not Move You One Step Closer to Heaven! . The salvation of mankind is wholly a work of God's grace [un-earned favor] and is NOT the work or any man, in whole or in part or of human goodness or effort. . God 'imputes' His righteousness to those who put their *faith* in Jesus, his only begotten son, who shed his blood and died to pay for our sins and rose from the tomb to save us. (Eph.1.7, 1Cor.15.1-4) . Salvation cannot be earned by good deeds *plus* God's grace! One's effort to ADD to God's gift of salvation is an 'insult' to Jesus, his shed blood, death and resurrection to save you and nullifies the gift. (Ro.11.6) . *NOT* by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5). . This Bible verse makes it plain and simple that good works will NOT even help 'nor be accepted' by God to save anyone. . The penalty of sin that is passed on to all of mankind is 'death' because of Adam's sin. Jesus became the sacrifice for all of mankind's sin. . Romans 5:12 12. Wherefore, as by one man [Adam] sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so 'death passed upon all men', for that all have sinned: . Jesus took our place and died on a cross, shedding his blood, was buried and rose from the dead to pay for mankind's sin debt in full and rose from the tomb for our justification. . Those who accept God's plan of salvation will receive eternal life and spend eternity with Jesus in heaven. .

✞ Salvation: A Legal Gift. . No one is accepted by God based on their ‘’personal merit’’ before or after salvation. . Your behavior, "good or bad deeds’', play no part in securing nor maintaining your salvation as salvation is a *free gift* of God. . Does this mean it is “ok" to sin? Absolutely NOT!!! Sin is never a casual matter with God. It is an assault to his holiness. . What it means is that salvation is a *free gift* from God, apart from our behavior or it would NOT be a gift at all. It would be merely an arrangement. ............................................................................ *Dictionary: Legal Gift: A voluntary transfer of property from one individual to another, made gratuitously-[without charge] to the recipient without conditions . The individual who makes the gift is known as the donor, and the individual to whom the gift is made is called the donee. . Once the gift is received and takes possession of the gift the donor has *no further legal claim on the item* by donor. . It can NOT be legally taken back by the donor from the donee. It is ILLEGAL for the donor to later take the "GIFT" away from donee. ........................................................................... ......... Eph2.8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the *GIFT* of God:” Rom.6:23 KJV, "... the *GIFT* of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." . The Bible gives us instruction on how to receive the GIFT of salvation in Ro.1:16, and the *Gospel of Our Salvation* is found here, 1Cor.15:1-4. . Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of *the gospel* of Christ: for it is the power of God to *SALVATION* to every one that *believeth*-[trust-in]...” . * The Gospel of Our Salvation * 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 "“Christ died for our sins. … He was buried. … He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures.” . Salvation is a free and unmerited 'gift' from God, granted *through faith* in Jesus, upon believing he shed his blood and died on a cross to pay for our sins and rose from the tomb to provide us with everlasting life, all sin forgiven, indwelt by the Holy Spirit and heaven bound. .

✞ How You May Receive Salvation Right Now! . The most important matter that we face is "where do I stand with God when I die, right?" God said he is not willing that any should perish, He loves the sinning world, which includes you and me. He wants to save us! . God loves us so much that He did something breathe-takingly compassionate to save us from the penalty of our sin.... . But first we must realize that we do all sin and come into the world with a sin propensity because of Adam's sin. God Himself has said: "There is none righteous, no, not one" (Romans 3:10). . Our own efforts to make amends to God for the wrong we have done *CANNOT* reverse the just judgment of God. There is a punishment for sin that had to be paid before we could be reconciled with God. . God orchestrated his own plan for our redemption. God sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to fulfill this mission. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life in complete obedience to God. . And then Jesus willingly took upon himself all our sins; He shed his blood, died on a cross, was buried and rose from the grave to save us. . One *must* place their FAITH in Jesus to save them, believe he shed his blood and died to pay for their sins and rose from the grave that they would be justified. Will you trust Jesus now and what he did to save you? . Scriptural Support: Eph.1:7; Acts 13:33; Ro.1:16; 1Cor.15:1-4 . ► Please 'SHARE' for the lost on any social media if you agree ◄ |
Hmmm....Imaging what you're crying for. Somebody said you're no longer her choice for whatever reason and you're crying and begging. Are you crazy? What do you think marriage is? A joke? You better think with your head not with your heart. |
Pyrrho:Of course, it's just a delusion. |
No, saying that there's no God rather makes you dumb except you want to tell me that you created yourself. |
Y'all so called atheists gat no excuse. |
