HOW TO BE SAVED

SIN

SIN IS A TRANSGRESSION AGAINST GOD’S HOLY LAW AN ACT OF REBELLION AGAINST HIM. (1 JOHN 3:4) SIN IS KNOWING WHAT IS RIGHT AND NOT DOING IT. (JAMES 4:17) ADAM’S SIN BROUGHT CONDEMNATION TO ALL MEN. (ROMANS 5:12) THE EFFECTS OF SIN ARE GUILT, ENSLAVEMENT, SPIRITUAL BONDAGE AND SEPARATION FROM GOD AND ITS PUNISHMENT IS ETERNAL DEATH. (ROMANS 6:23) SIN HAS A HIGH PRICE. SIN IS DECEPTION. THE MOST VICIOUS KIND OF DECEPTION IS TO GET TO THE END OF YOUR LIFE AND TO DISCOVER THE THING YOU BELIEVE IN TO BE THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH WAS AN ABSOLUTE LIE. SIN IS NOT WHAT WE SAY IT IS, OR WHAT YOU THINK IT IS, SIN IS WHAT GOD'S WORD SAYS IT IS (1 JOHN 1:8,10).

JUDGEMENT

JUDGEMENT EVERY MAN AND WOMAN WHO DIES WILL STAND BEFORE GOD IN JUDGEMENT. (HEBREWS 9:27) EVERYTHING YOU HOLD DEAR TO YOU IS GOING TO BE TORN FROM YOUR HANDS BY DEATH. WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, WE ARE ALL PART OF THE ULTIMATE STATISTIC: TEN OUT OF TEN DIE. DEATH HAPPENS BECAUSE WE HAVE SINNED AND VIOLATED THE MORAL LAWS OF GOD THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (ROMANS 3:23). HAVE YOU EVER LIED, (EVEN ONCE, WHITE LIES ETC.)? EVER STOLEN (ANYTHING REGARDLESS OF ITS VALUE)? JESUS SAID, “BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT WHOSOEVER LOOKETH ON A WOMAN TO LUST AFTER HER HATH COMMITTED ADULTERY WITH HER ALREADY IN HIS HEART." HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED WITH LUST? IF YOU SAID "YES" TO THESE THREE QUESTIONS, BY YOUR OWN ADMISSION, YOU ARE A LYING, THIEVING, ADULTERER AT HEART; AND WE'VE ONLY LOOKED AT THREE OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. THAT'S HOW GOD SEES YOU. NOTHING IS HID FROM HIS HOLY EYES. (ECCLESIASTES 12:14) WILL YOU BE INNOCENT OR GUILTY ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT? LISTEN TO YOUR CONSCIENCE. YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE GUILTY, AND THEREFORE END UP IN GOD’S ETERNAL PRISON A PLACE CALLED HELL (REVELATION 21:8) THAT'S NOT GOD'S WILL.

REPENTANCE

THE GOODNESS OF GOD LEADS US TO REPENTANCE (ROMANS 2:4). TO REPENT IS TO BE SORRY FOR WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU ARE, CHANGE YOUR MIND FROM UNBELIEF TO BELIEF IN JESUS CHRIST, FROM REJECTION OF JESUS CHRIST TO FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, TO RECOGNIZE THAT HE IS INDEED "LORD AND SAVIOUR”. THE PROPHETS, APOSTLES, AND EVEN OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST CALLED FOR REPENTANCE (LUKE 13:3).

SALVATION

HOWEVER, THE HOLY BIBLE SAYS GOD IS RICH IN MERCY, AND IN HIS GREAT KINDNESS, HE PROVIDED A SAVIOUR, JESUS TOOK THE PUNISHMENT FOR THE SIN OF THE WORLD. HE DIED ON THE CROSS, SO THAT WE COULD BE FORGIVEN, THEN HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND DEFEATED DEATH (1CORINTHIANS 15:3,4). TO RECEIVE EVERLASTING LIFE AS A FREE GIFT, BELIEVE, AND TRUST IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE, (ROMANS 10:9,10) AND THE SACRIFICE MADE THROUGH HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD SHED ON THE CROSS THROUGH HIS DEATH, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION (ROMANS 5:8,9) GOD WILL FORGIVE YOUR SINS AND YOU WILL PASS FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE. (JOHN 5:24) GOD WILL GIVE YOU A NEW NATURE, BORN AGAIN FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (JOHN 3:3, 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17). ETERNAL LIFE IS A FREE GIFT. YOU CAN’T EARN IT BY DOING ANYTHING (EPHESIANS 2:8,9). PRAY, READ THE HOLY BIBLE DAILY BEING LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND ASK GOD TO HELP YOU OBEY WHAT YOU READ.
