Salvation has always been by grace through faith!
From Genesis to Revelation..... From the creation of Adam, till the very last baby conceived.... Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone!

It's not salvation plus works, nor is it salvation plus keeping the Ten Commandments, or any of the law....or any ordinances of any church!
It's not sealed by an obedience such as baptism, nor is salvation in any way a part of any good work, that we can do!
There is nothing a sinner can do, that will add to, or take away from, God's salvation!

Ephesians 2:8-9 makes it clear, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Even all the way back to the very first Jew....as we read how Abraham was saved in Genesis 15:6, "And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness."

Abraham wasn't saved by following God!
Abraham was saved by believing God!

Romans 4:2, "For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath wherefore to glory; but not before God."

The verse in the old hymn "Rock Of Ages" says it well,
🎵"Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die."🎶

I believe that every child of God, SHOULD totally sell out to God!
I believe every child of God, SHOULD follow the Lord, in being obedient to him!
I believe every child of God SHOULD have a testimony that brings honor to Christ!

But selling out, being religiously obedient, or even having the appearance of a "Christian", is not salvation!

Our salvation is in Christ, and not in our efforts to reform!

Don't allow religion to confuse discipleship with salvation!
The Bible DOES NOT TEACH what is known as "Lordship salvation" in order to be saved!

I didn't make Jesus Christ the "Lord of my life" in order to be saved!
I got saved by God's amazing grace, through faith.....and after I was saved, I then desired to have a desire to make him, THE LORD OF MY LIFE!

Acts 16:31 says, " ...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved,..."
Romans 10:13 says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

If you're lost without Christ....then simply come to Jesus, as the lost hell deserving sinner you are....
Come to him through faith.... just like Abraham did, and believe God's promise that, HE will save you!

Believe that Jesus Christ shed his precious blood and died for YOUR sins on the Cross of Calvary.
Believe that on that third day after his crucifixion, he rose up from the dead!
Victorious over sin, death, hell, and the grave!

Jesus has already paid the price for YOUR sins.....and, HE WILL SAVE YOU!
He will save YOU the very moment you come to him, and receive him through faith, as your personal Saviour!

Come to Jesus today, and be saved!

God bless y'all

Someone may say, "My faith seems soooo weak....So what should I do?"

Romans 10:17 gives the answer!
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

I have a very dear friend, who is also a dear brother in Christ, who never learned how to read or write very well.
He so desired to read the Bible through, but couldn't, because he couldn't read.
He didn't let this problem stop him....so he listened to the entire King James Bible, all the way through, on a CD!

He told me one day, that he had finished the Bible all the way through..... PRAISE GOD!

He didn't use his inability to read, as an excuse to not hear the word of God....he found a way to hear it, because he desired to increase his faith!

You see, faith has no replacement!
Faith has no other inlet!
Faith isn't something that we can just conjure up on our own!

But, saving faith, and living faith, "cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
You want your faith increased?
Increase your time in God's perfect word!

Let me encourage you to take the time to read from the pages of the life changing word of God,
"The King James Bible"....because that's where our faith comes from!

God bless y'all

One of the saddest statements in all of the Bible, comes from the worst decision a lost sinner will ever make.
When the lost sinner says "NO" to salvation for the last time!
Matthew 7:23 is that sad statement from our Lord saying, "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work of iniquity."

The choice to receive Christ through faith, is the most important choice anyone can ever make!
The choice to reject Christ is the worst choice anyone can ever make!

To be eligible to die without Christ, means that the lost sinner was also eligible to receive Christ!
No lost sinner in Hell will be able to accuse God of not being fair!
No lost sinner at The Great White Throne Judgment, will ever be able to say, that their sins were not paid for on the Cross of Calvary!
If they did, Christ can open his word right before them, and read 1 John 2:2, "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."

The excuses for "not getting saved" are NOW NO MORE!
The free will choice was personally made, by the sinner with a free will....
The most DANGEROUS CHOICE was made, and then the lost for all eternity will be cast into the lake of fire, because of that choice, as we read in Revelation 20:15, "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

BUT, since you're not there yet...THERE IS STILL HOPE!
THERE IS STILL TIME!
AT THIS VERY MOMENT, YOU CAN MAKE THE GREATEST OF ALL CHOICES!
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO RECEIVE CHRIST THROUGH FAITH, AND BE BORN AGAIN RIGHT NOW!

You can be a "whosoever"...that calls on Jesus Christ to save you, instead of a "whosoever" that was not found written in the book of life...

John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Why not choose Jesus today?
Jesus Christ shed his precious blood and died for your sins on the Cross of Calvary.
He then rose up from the dead three days later!

BECAUSE HE CAN... HE WILL SAVE YOU TODAY, if you come to him as the lost hell deserving sinner you are, and through faith(the best you know how) believe in him!

There are only two choices...."he that believeth", and "he that believeth not"....Make the greatest choice.... and not the most dangerous choice!

God bless y'all
