DO YOU WANT TO BE SAVED FROM THE WRATH TO COME?

‭Below bible verse says it is the great and first commandment. But people who do not truly know God neglect this great and first commandment and insist on their own love for a neighbor, even if their definition of neighbor's love opposes loving God with their all by obeying His commandments. Another thing that people neglect in this commandment is when they think they are doing God a favor by going to church or doing religious activities but neglect what the Lord said in His words which is in the bible.

God's standard of righteousness is perfection. God's answer to the question "What must I do to be saved" is that you must perfectly love Him. The question is "Have you loved God perfectly?" Then if not, like I do (who doesn't love the Lord perfectly), you are heading for hell, eternal fire. But God made a way to be saved. It is always God who initiates, even in the old testament. He sent His beloved Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross as the perfect acceptable sacrifice by the Father or payment for the sins of those who would believe Him. As it says in John 3, those who do not believe are ALREADY condemned (sa bisaya pa, condemned na daan, padung na sa impyerno daan), but those who believe in Him will not perish but have eternal life. He bore our sins on the cross for those who believe and would believe and be made righteous because of Him (2 Corinthians 5:21) and be able to do righteous things through the Holy Spirit given to those who believe. By saying this, it means He doesn't see your sins anymore, they are washed clean by His blood, and see Christ who is righteous in you, with the seal of His Holy Spirit so you can now enter heaven.

CLOSING QUESTION: After reading this, do you want to put your faith in Jesus' work on the cross for you and repent of your sins (meaning turn from them) or do you still want to go against His way and continue to do futile good works that are unacceptable to God (Isaiah 64:6)?

Life on earth is a brief pilgrimage between two moments of nakedness. So, we would be wise to travel light.

Christians can be doers of the Word by living in obedience to how God commands us to live.

Not Mary or anybody else is worthy to be the mediator... Only Jesus.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
— Romans 1:16-17

God's means to seek and call His people out from amongst the crowd is the message of the gospel and the certainty of evangelism is based on it in its unadulterated form.

And this us why true believers proclaim the gospel in spite of the hostility and hatred of the people towards the message of the gospel, because it exposes one's emnity and hostility towards God, therefore they are under God's wrath and judgement.

But the good news of Jesus Christ humbles those who has been broken by the weight of their sins and falls down towards the only being that can reconcile them towards God, and that is none other than Christ Himself.

So, come to Christ with contrition and a broken heart in repentance and faith towards Him and He will give you life.

Soli Deo Gloria!
