Being self-righteous is actually only one step away from repentance. Have you chosen “repentance”?
Pure Gospel – nothing added, nothing taken out
What God has written (John 20:31) for us in the Bible – is the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ. God only accepts those who come to Him according to His Gospel. Don’t fall for the fake, useless types of faith. They cannot save because there is no other saving Gospel!
Specific salvation parameters Jesus absolutely requires
Are you aware of what-all is actually required to truly “accept Christ”? Believing “in the name…” means accepting “all that Jesus Christ is and does”. Have you sincerely repented and truthfully “believed” in Jesus? Are you honestly following Jesus?
Getting Born Again
Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” In God’s legal system, all of mankind is condemned to hell because we are naturally unable to be holy [“holy” = without sin]. He cannot have sin in His Kingdom. Makes sense: He is holy! His choice – because of His nature. However, He loved us so much that He provided legal forgiveness for any who choose to follow Him. Quite simple, actually.
