Christ is the Good Shepherd who goes out to save the one which was lost.
God accepts you only one way: flat on your face. Complete humbleness. We must humble ourselves before God can forgive us.
Drop the pride, the arrogance. Attitudes be gone, like “I know best”. “Don’t tell me how to think“, “I did it my way“.
Proud and devious
It’s not the act of being on your face! It’s the heart. Drawing near to God with a humble heart.
The heart is proud and devious. Come to God like THAT? Not on your life! He opposes the proud (James 4:6, 2 Corinthians 10:5, 1 Peter 5:5).
Sincere and truthful
Jesus will listen to the sincere and truthful prayer of repentance. Sincerity and truth are what He requires of us. He often hears a confused, sinful prayer, but He only saves the repentant sinner.
God forgives all wrongdoings of all repentant sinners, no exception
Right now is a good time to accept Him! Now is the acceptable time (2 Corinthians 6:2). Tomorrow is fluky. It may never give you the light of day. Now is all we are guaranteed.
Seeking and pursuing death
That moment of death without Jesus, is the first day Hell is Home. Oh regret – if life is past, and Hell is all we will know. It will be a forever home without anything good, because God is not there. Going to Hell?
________________
Are you seeking God?
Hell is for those who reject Jesus and His one-off offer to enter His Holy Kingdom. Even the most vile sinner can bow the knee now. But beyond the veil? Not a chance in Hell for the unbeliever.
Flesh and blood absolutely cannot inherit the Kingdom of God
Jesus said, “You must be born again….” (verse 7)
See: John 3:1-21
Salvation in Christ is simple: a sinner must absolutely believe in the Name of Jesus – with all you are, with 100% given over to Him. On which side of eternity’s dividing line are you on? …the Legally damned or the Legally forgiven? Choose Jesus.
Jesus must become your personal Lord and Savior in order to become a part of the family of God.
Simple Salvation:
John 3:16, Romans 1:16-18, Romans 8:1, Romans 10:13
A true heart
If you come to God with one …a true, sincere, truthful heart — then Jesus saves you for all eternity. He will save you forever – not just until you fail Him again, or fall into sin again, or get stuck in the miry clay of enslaving sin again.
No. God’s salvation is a forever forgiveness… eternal. His salvation is so huge, you can come back to Him from wherever you fell, and He will restore you to fellowship. Nothing can separate you from the love of God. Never again. 1
Simple salvation is “Jesus in you – the hope of salvation”. No other can save. There is no other saving gospel. He is the Good Shepherd who goes out to save the one which was lost.
God [in His eternal plan] chose to make known to them how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in and among you, the hope and guarantee of [realizing the] glory.
– Colossians 1:27
This hope we have and what it does
FOR MORE:
God accepts you only one way: flat on your face. Complete humbleness. We must humble ourselves before God can forgive us. Drop the pride, the arrogance. Attitudes be gone, like “I know best”. “Don’t tell me how to think”, “I did it my way”.
The ABCs of Salvation | as explained by JD Farag
Being 100% given-over to Jesus
The one-off offer Jesus makes to everyone
Jesus can save your soul for all eternity
I’ve been declared “free of guilt”
The Inclusive Yet Exclusive Salvation of Jesus
Legally damned – Legally forgiven (…I am “a sinner saved by grace”. I am legally forgiven.)
What have I to dread
What have I to fear…
Believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Anointed One
Long before His birth prophets spoke of Jesus the Messiah
There is no other saving gospel
When on earth I’m done and gone
Your useless way of life Excerpt: Still living in a loop hole? Or are you living it to the max – with eternal values in view? I refuse to live a useless life (1 Peter 1:13-18). You know what I mean. A “wood, hay, and stubble” life
Stubble: 1 Corinthians 3:12 King James Version.
The tragic error many live in all their life
God damned on earth – Being God damned on earth is to be…
Being God Damned (in Hell) Excerpt: Being God damned in hell is to be forever damned, forever without God, without joy, without happiness, devoid of God’s goodness, without any good thing (since God is good), forever doomed in gloom, defeated, beaten, always restless, never satisfied, never…
Legally damned – Legally forgiven (Without Christ the sinner is legally damned, now and forevermore.)
The Damning God Excerpt: Don’t arrive before The Throne of God – and discover there that you are still merely a God damned mud-man.
I stand amazed looking at the arrogant mud-man
shaking his puny little mud-fist —- at God, the Potter!
At God! Ha!
What impudence.
What futility, despair, regret.
God forgives sins by His Holy Holy Justice
Want it – to know it… God’s message to us
Self-talk prayer …pray without ceasing
What being “saved” means Excerpt: Getting “saved” by Jesus, is 100% a thing of the heart. If your life doesn’t follow your confession, then you did not get saved. Simple. Tragic for many, many who live in error.
Salvation and receiving the Gift of the Holy Spirit
Growing into our natural new life in Christ
Could it be true that today only 6% of “Christians” are truly born again?
