We can only be saved by believing in Jesus.
There is simply no other way to get to the Kingdom of Heaven.
GOD gave all the authority for judging us over to Jesus. And if we do not believe in Jesus, how will we be judged?
And moreover, GOD, in HIS merciful Grace sent Jesus to be punished for all of our sins, past, present and future.
All we have to do is accept the Grace of GOD.
How do we do that? We believe that Jesus is the Son of GOD. We believe that Jesus came to this earth, lived a completely sinless life, even though He was tempted by satan.
Jesus was crucified, died and was buried and rose from the dead on the third day, thus conquering death for us, the believers.
We repent and we forgive those who have sinned against us.
We are then filled with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit starts His work in us. The Holy Spirit convicts us when we sin. This causes a change of heart. No longer can we go on sinning as before. And no, this does not mean that we do not sin. It means that we sin less and less and we are conformed and convicted to be more like Jesus.
True Christianity looks like something. Repentance looks like something. Believing in Jesus looks like something. And if nothing is changing, then it is time to ask GOD to fill us anew with the Holy Spirit.
As Jesus told His disciples, "By their fruit, you will know them". (Matthew 7 from verses 15 to 20). ( If you would like to read the full context of that saying.)
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, How gracious, good, and merciful YOU are. I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ for saving me from an eternity spent without YOU. I thank YOU FATHER. Amen.
Stay faithfully Jesus Blessed today!
