HOW TO BE SAVED

SIN
Sin is a transgression against God’s Holy Law an act of rebellion against Him.
 
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law
1 John 3:4
 
Sin is knowing what is right and not doing it.
 
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin James 4:17
 
Adam’s sin brought condemnation to all men.
 
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 Romans 5:12
 
The effects of sin are guilt, enslavement, spiritual bondage and separation from God and its punishment is eternal death.
 
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord 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.
 
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us 1 John 1:8,10
 
 
JUDGEMENT
Judgement every man and woman who dies will stand before God in judgement.
 
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment 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.
 
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God 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 hidden from His holy eyes.
 
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil 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.
That's not God's will.
 
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death Revelation 21:8
 
 
REPENTANCE
The goodness of God leads us to repentance.
 
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee 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 the 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.
 
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish 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.
 
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 Corinthians 15:3-4
 
To receive everlasting life as a free gift, believe, and trust in the lord Jesus Christ alone.
 
That 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 10:9-10
 
The sacrifice made through His precious blood shed on the cross through His death, burial, and resurrection.
 
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him Romans 5:8-9
 
God will forgive your sins and you will pass from death unto life.
 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from
death unto life John 5:24
 
God will give you a new nature, Born Again filled with the Holy Spirit.
 
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God John 3:3
 
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new 2 Corinthians 5:17
 
Eternal life is a free gift. You can’t earn it by doing anything.
 
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 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.
 
Blessings in Christ,
 
David & Gay
