I want to tell you the truth about what Bible has to say about Salvation, friends the Lord could return at anytime, and I don't want you not to fully understand the consequences. Some may sugar coat the Word of God, to keep you in church, however I do not get paid for this, I do it because I am commanded to by our Lord.
1. When we sinned in the Garden, we were ALL headed for the LAKE OF FIRE.
2. God did not plan for that to happen, HELL was created for the Devil and his angles.
3. In order that we may be redeemed and to have Heaven as our eternal home, God the Son, (JESUS) written 300 times in the Old testament, had to come to Earth and die a cruel death, and be risen from the grave by God the Holy Spirit.
4. Only by believing and confessing Jesus as Lord, and sincerely asking Him to forgiveness of your sins, and promising repentance. Will you reconcile with God. And go to Heaven
Some scriptures to substantiate what I have written:
Thessalonians 5:9 For God has not destined us to receive wrath but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus, the Messiah,
John 14:5 Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You go, and how can we know the way?
Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.
Luke 1:77 And to give his people knowledge of salvation through forgiveness of their sins.
Because of the tender mercy of our God, his light from on high has visited us,
to shine on those who sit in darkness and in death's shadow, and to guide our feet into the way of peace."
Acts 4:12 There is no salvation by anyone else, for "there is no other name under heaven given among people by which we must be saved."
Acts 13:47 For that is what the Lord ordered us to do: 'I have made you a light to the gentiles to be the means of salvation to the very ends of the earth.'" (All Christians)
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God's power for the salvation of everyone who believes, of the Jew first and of the Greek as well.
Eph 1:13 You, too, have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed in the Messiah, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.
Philippians 2:9. Now lifted up by God to heaven, a name above all others given, this matchless name possessing.
And so, when Jesus' name is called, the knees of everyone should fall wherever they're residing.
Then every tongue in one accord, will say that Jesus the Messiah is Lord, while God the Father praising.
2Titus 2:10 For that reason, I endure everything for the sake of those who have been chosen so that they, too, may receive the salvation that is in the Messiah Jesus, along with eternal glory. (Fact is I would have many more friends if I did not preach Salvation so boldly)
2 Titus 3:15 From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures that are able to give you the wisdom you need for salvation through faith in the Messiah Jesus.
Hebrews 5:9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,
Hebrews 9:28 so the Messiah was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people. And he will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly wait for him.
Revelations 19:1 After these things I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a large crowd in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God.
Should anyone tell you that if you are a good person, or by helping, or that you have a generous heart, tells you, that is all you need for eternal life in Heaven, give them this letter, if they reject it, have nothing to do with them.
The Green river killer
The family of the girls who were murdered, said, why did God allow this to happen. I was so sad to see how evil a human being could see. But God will only protect and answer the prayers of the rightness. And even then only according to His will. All except one of the Apostles were stoned or crucified. This life on Earth is just temporary, Heaven with Christ is your permanent home. They knew that this immortal body meant nothing, many Christians today are being beheaded for the same reasons.
Matthew 10:26-32. Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, and nothing hidden which shall not be known.
What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear, proclaim on the housetops.
And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
Therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.
Then everyone who shall confess Me before men, I will confess him before My Father who is in Heaven.
