Good News! - Salvation is not so simple
The Holy Bible very clearly explains how simple it is
to be saved and on your way to Heaven, "For if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you WILL BE SAVED." (Romans 10:9) How simple it is??? Let's see what God says, not what you teach. Matthew 19:24 And again I (God) say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. With God salvation is possible, not by man's action. The Bible talks about being rich with this world's attractions not just wealth. The rich man is a picture of all mankind enamored with this world and it's enticements. You can be saved right now and on your way to Heaven if you will open your heart to Jesus and pray the following prayer: Dear Jesus Christ, I want... You are now a Christian if you said the prayer and allowed God to save you. Welcome to the family of God. Internet Evangelist R.L. Grossi We want??? We ALLOW the almightly God to do something??? Let's see what God says about how much WE want salvation on God's terms. John 15:16 Ye have NOT chosen me (God), but I (God) have chosen you, Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is NONE righteous, no, NOT ONE: 11 There is NONE that understandeth, there is NONE that SEEKETH after God. 12 They are ALL gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is NONE that doeth good, no, NOT ONE. According to God, none of us will seek Him on our own. Yet according to some, all we have to do is speak with our mouth. Amazing. God says we don't do the choosing, He does. I guess some folks don't believe God. Mark 1:23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 25 And Jesus rebuked him. You're in good company! Even the devils confess Jesus is Lord - but it didn't save them! The point is, anyone can make profession with their mouth, it's only lip service, a sham. Isaiah 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their MOUTH, and with their LIPS do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the PRECEPT of MEN: 14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed [5] to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. Many have made confession of faith but their heart was not right with God. Anyone can say Jesus is Lord! and yet still be unsaved even if they don't think so. It's not so simple after all is it? Matthew 7:21 Not EVERY ONE that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 MANY will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and IN THY NAME HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Many will think they are saved. Many will go to Hell. Simply saying a prayer will not save you. You can believe those who teach falsely and claim to be doing good in Jesus' name or you can read the Bible to see what God actually says about salvation. The disciples asked Jesus about the end of the world, what should we look for as a sign the end is coming. Matthew 24: what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For MANY shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness. Satan has the ability to look like an angel of light (John 8:12 I (Jesus) am the light of the world). Those who follow him will look righteous. How will you know the difference between Satan and Jesus? This answer really is simple, read the Bible. Don't trust me or anyone else, not you denomination, not your pastor, read the Bible and let God lead you. Psalm 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the BOOK it is written of me |
