Acts 2:38 proves that people have to be baptized to have their sins forgiven. If people have to be baptized to have their sins forgiven then people have to be baptized to be saved. "For where there is a covenant, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it. For a covenant is valid only when people are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives" (Hebrews 9:15-16). Hebrews 9:15-16 proves Jesus had to be dead for the new covenant to begin. The thief on the cross was saved before Jesus was dead. If Jesus had to be dead for the new covenant to begin and if the thief on the cross was saved before Jesus was dead then the thief on the cross was saved before the new covenant to began. If the thief on the cross was saved before the new covenant began then the thief on the cross didn't have to be baptized to be saved.

@@Benjamin-un1wl Again, I will tell you that there are ppl who are physically unable to because of a physical disability! Or perhaps they're on their death bed & the bible even states that if we're to take our last breath & confess that JESUS IS LORD & receive Him in our hearts that we will be saved! There are ppl in prison on death row that aren't able to be dipped in water who repent of their ways & give their HEARTS to the Lord & are saved! So you see, there are several accounts where I'm quite certain that the Lord would have MERCY & COMPASSION & HE WOULD NEVER TURN DOWN OR FORSAKE ANYONE who came to Him with an open & sincere heart & invited Him in, since that's what it's really about! 👉🏼💜👈🏼 Also, there were several prophets in the bible who came before Jesus who weren't dipped in water, whose heart was sought after God & I'm sure they went to heaven. For it is by FAITH & GRACE that we are saved & nothing by our own doing, or works! Regardless, who are we to say who gets saved & who doesn't? I would never claim to know such a thing cuz I'm not God! Only He knows what's in a person's heart. Be blessed! 🙏🏼

Why do so many reject Jesus? Because the false doctrine the devil has placed around Christianity. Let’s clear up the confusion. There was a division over who Jesus was when he walked the earth and there still is to this day. (John 7:12, 40-43/John 9:16, 17/John 10:19-21) So, many claim Christ, but why so many denominations in Christ? That goes against God and Christ (1 Corinthians 1:10-15) So, please read and study the scriptures sited until the end. I will explain all “Jesus is God proof texts” Psalm 110:10 states: The LORD/YHWH said to my (King David) Lord (Jesus) sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool. Jesus the servant (Acts 3:13, 26) and lamb (John 1:29) of God obeyed God even to death. (Philippians 2:5-11) Jesus is the image of God (Colossians 1:15/2 Corinthians 4:3, 4) as Adam was made in God’s image (Genesis 1:26, 27/Luke 3:38) Jesus being the second Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45) see we took on the first Adams image and likeness (Genesis 5:3/Romans 5:12-21/1 Corinthians 15:20-22) but God has made provisions thru Jesus Christ and we are allowed to be children of God if we believe in the one God sent (John 1:12/2 Corinthians 5:18) Jesus spoke what God told him to speak (John 12:49, 50/Deuteronomy 18:18/Isaiah 51:16) the apostles never taught Jesus was God/YHWH/Yahweh/Jehovah neither did Jesus himself (Luke 24:19/Acts 2:22/John 14:10, 11/1 Corinthians 8:5, 6/1 Timothy 2.5/John 17:3/Mark 12:28-34) bottom line is Jesus is our king and the Son of God (Matthew 16:13-17) Zero scriptures say you must believe Jesus is God, but there are scriptures that say you must believe he is the Son of God. (1 John 5:5, 9-13) also Jesus was a Jew, the Jews needed convincing of no longer needing the circumcision to be justified in the eyes of God. (Romans 3, 4/Acts 15/Galatians 2) but there are zero scriptures to convince the Jews of a 3 in 1 God or that Jesus is or was God. Besides Jesus didn’t exist until being placed in the womb of the Virgin Mary (Matthew 1:18-21/Luke 1:35) by the Holy Spirit which comes from heaven (1 Peter 1:12) (formed in the womb Isaiah 49:5) God is Jesus’s God from the womb but not before b/c Jesus didn’t exist yet (Psalm 22:10) and since Jesus didn’t exist until the womb no one was worthy in heaven on earth or under the earth until Jesus (Revelation 5:1-14) Since Jesus is of the Holy Spirit (which comes from heaven 1 Peter 1:12) this is why Jesus can rightly say he is from heaven and not made of the earth (John 8:23) like the first Adam Genesis 2:7 Recall Noah walked the earth before it was destroyed by the flood. Genesis chapters 6-9. So Noah walked the old earth and the New earth after he came out of the ark. Same with Jesus (Micah 5:2 from the old age, some say from eternity past/John 1:10) Jesus walked the old earth before the foundation of the New earth/world which was laid in his blood/made thru Jesus by God. (Isaiah 51:16/2 Corinthians 5:17/Psalm 65:17) This also helps explain the glory Jesus shared with God before the new world John 17:5 these scriptures help show how he shared such glory while walking the old earth. John 1:14/John 2:11/John 11:4 “Jesus is God proof texts” debunked. JOHN 8:58 ego eimi means “I am he” not “I AM!” It is said by healed blind man at John 9:9, angel Gabriel at Luke 1:19, apostle Peter at Acts 10:21. It is not a claim to deity or being God. Jesus was simply stating he is first in all things (Colossians 1:15, 17, 18/Revelation 5/Acts 26:23) even before Abraham in the resurrection. Remember the first will be last and the last first. (Luke 13:29, 30) JOHN 20:28 “My Lord and My God” Jesus revealed God to them/him for God was with Jesus (John 1:18/Matthew 11:27/Luke 10:22/2 Corinthians 4:3, 4/Acts 10:38/John 8:29/John 16:32/John 14:19, 20) JOHN 1:1 could be translated “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. And what God was/is the Word was/is. So, what is God? God is Spirit (John 4:24) and Jesus was raised in the Spirit (1 Peter 3:18) and we know Jesus is Spirit because flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 15:50) also John 1:1 is a prologue , meaning it tells WHAT happened, before it tells HOW it happened. So, at the time of John writing his gospel Jesus has already ascended and is already at the right hand of God. Because he (Jesus) was obedient even to death (Philippians 2:8-11) That is why (Jesus) was/is with God. And while Jesus was on earth God was with him. (See above about JOHN 20:28 note) Then John 1:6 begins the explanation of how it all happened. It is the same with Genesis chapters 1 and 2. And the Tower of Babel if you read the chapter before the story of Babel it tells how they left each with their own language then they tell how it all happened. Genesis chapter 10 and 11. JOHN 1:3 explains these verses (Colossians 1:16/Luke 22:28-30/Revelation 1:5/Revelation 5:9, 10) The new beginning that God created, is laid in Christ blood (Isaiah 51:16/2 Corinthians 5:17/Galatians 6:14, 15) Jesus was slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8) the apostles were chosen before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4) what the apostles were speaking about was the New creation (Hebrews 2:5) All of this is about the beginning, but the beginning of the new creation which is laid in Christ Jesus. JOHN 1:4, 5 explains John 5:19-23, 26/John 8:12/John 11:25/John 14:6/1 Corinthians 15:45 Philippians 2:5-11 explains Jesus who was created perfect in God’s image/form just as Adam was (1 Corinthians 15:45) but lowered himself/humbled himself to resemble our sinful state since we are in Adams image (Genesis 5:3) if Jesus were God and we are to have the same mindset as Jesus then we are to think we are equal with God? Acts 20:28 God is Spirit he did not purchase the church with his own blood, God doesn’t have blood, but the Son of God did. This is a scribal error or scribes trying to influence their own doctrine or ideas (which is well documented) as with 1 Timothy 3:16/Romans 9:5/Titus 2:13/Hebrews 1:8/Psalm 45:6 (your throne is God which makes sense when Revelation 3:21 is read) Matthew 28:19 (no other scripture says to baptize in any name but Jesus) 1 John 5:7/Jude 5 it was God not Jesus who saved the people from Egypt. It was Jesus who shed his blood and died (Romans 8:34) God cannot die. In fact God left Jesus during his death precisely because the Spirit of God cannot die. Mark 15:34. I’ll end with this scripture John 4:22

@@Benjamin-un1wl I assume you're referring to water baptism.. No, water baptism is not a requirement in order to be "saved" Water baptism only cleans "the outside of the cup" (Matthew 23:25) We must be cleansed and purified from the inside in order to enter into salvation. So how does Christ cleanse, purify and baptize the "inside" of our cup? Here's how: *Matthew 3:11* I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will *baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire*

We have definitely seen a lot of normalizing of the dark this year and it seems only natural that we will have a parting of ways with things of the dark. I do try to keep in mind that scripture tells me to pray for my enemies and bless those who despise you because at the end of the day, they are someone's son or daughter. I know I have my own things I did before knowing Christ that I certainly am not proud of. Thank God I am made anew in him Have a great Wednesday everyone and Stay close to our father.

The prophecy of Jesus, used also in the new testament it is written that Jesus will come in the name of his God and thats what Jesus said (John 20:17). .. Micah 5:2 And you, O Bethʹle·hem Ephʹra·thah, The one too little to be among the thousands of Judah, From you will come out for me the one to be ruler in Israel, Whose origin is from ancient times, from the days of long ago. 4 He [Jesus] will stand up and shepherd in the strength of Jehovah, In the superiority of the name of JEHOVAH..HIS GOD. Matthew 2:4 On gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. (..) 6 ‘And you, O Bethʹle·hem of the land of Judah, are by no means the most insignificant city among the governors of Judah, for out of you will come a governing one, who will shepherd my people Israel.’” .. Matthew 21:9 Moreover, the crowds going ahead of him and those following him kept shouting: “Save, we pray, the Son of David! Blessed is the one WHO COMES IN JEHOVAH'S NAME! Save him, we pray, in the heights above! Psalm 118:25, 26 25 Jehovah, save us, please, we beg! Jehovah, grant us victory, please! 26 Blessed is THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME of Jehovah; We bless you from the house of Jehovah.

The answer is not loving your neighbor. *”Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”* (Matthew 25:40). When you are living your neighbor then you are loving God as well. John said that “If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?” (1 John 4:20).

John 10:24-30 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me, but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” In Jesus' own words. It all goes back to God's all-sovereign grace.

The truth is each of us have the Adamic seed within us. The flesh is weak, and will always fall short of God’s perfect sovereign glory. The only way to The Father is Jesus. ( John 14:6). The light is hated because the darkness within us cannot comprehend the darkness. The Transforming grace of God changes us within Jesus alone. He provides an unconditional promise to the believer!God, The Holy Spirit is given to the believer. He works to help us hear God’s Will( The Word of God) ( which is Jesus Christ Himself/ John 1:1-14). Whether through His Voice, or within our spirit made perfectly in God’s Image.

In fasting I've seen my own inequity. How weak I am to darkness. How even though I love and crave God. The darkness of my flesh just wants to settle in comfort and give up. -We need to not see it as a "non believer issue" it's something we struggle with. Like Piper said "Your still contaminated by it and need to put it to death" but we have the holy spirit. Fasting just brought me face to face with it....we love darkness. "My life is never fully insync with the beauty of God." And he's infinitely more worthy than what i have in me as a sinner. Even as a Christian. Shame is there... and looking at it is scary (like the child who peed its pants). Hope in God's grace, understanding how embarrassing and weak we are. I really just see how much MORE the human condition needs God -that's what I got. 🤷‍♀️ Can't wait for the next one on faith and hope ❤️ lol

Acts 2:38 proves that you have to be baptized to have your sins forgiven. If you have to be baptized to have your sins forgiven then you have to be baptized to he saved. Paul not being sent to baptize doesn't prove that you don't have to be baptized to be saved.

The reason so many people reject Christ and Salvation today is because of how the church has become. In years past, Christians were in every part of society and leaders in our world, but not anymore. Today's Christians have a reputation of being looked at as extremely stupid people who know little to nothing of the world around them, nor seem to care about it either. We are only in this world, not of it, but to no longer be leading in all areas of life as we once did has allowed evil to prevail. I cannot wait to be raptured home as much as any other brother and sister in Christ, but when that is all we care about - we are disengaged and seemingly uninterested. How is anyone not of Christ to admire someone like that and be lead to give their life to the Lord?

Hi brother, I’m not sure that was always true. The apostles were looked at in their own day as stupid, foolish, and impious. The “scum of the earth,” as Paul puts it. I believe the Bible now as to the age of the earth- that alone is enough to mark me as extremely stupid in this age. We believe in the resurrection- that’s also foolish in this age. Can’t be helped, we’ve got to be foolish in someone’s eyes. But as to your main point, there’s a ton of Christian work to alleviate physical pain and suffering in the world, an absolute boatload. Blessings to you.

We were the ones that sent missionaries all around the world. But today it's the world who sends their missionaries to the US, and those who do not know the Lord who are now leading the Country on our behalf. Christians today no longer engage in life. They no longer understand how to lead so that world follows (not vise-versa) and it is for that reason the world is in the sorry state of affairs that it is in. Sad.

"Why Do So Many Reject Jesus?" Kind Sir...As Sherlock Holmes* said; in his classics movies...I shall do the same thing. "Elementary my dear Watson!" So the answer is simple and quick. For the answer IS "satan". For since creation Before God (who IS Jesus); there was a "Heavenly Spiritual War" in the Old Heaven. Where Jesus had created 800 million Angels; to help Him in separating those; that would worship the True God Jesus; from those who would worship satan. End of Story! Now...satan lost (along with his 200 "Fallen Angels") where bibles call them "demons". This left Jesus: with 600 million true Angels. And that has been more than enough ever since. So the answer says: satan WANTS ALL to hate and reject Jesus. Because MOST "Christians" believe that Jesus was ONLY the "Son of God". However, Jesus (and many parts of the bible); proves that God Almighty WAS, IS and ALWAYS will be Jesus. For before creation to forever. Praise His Holy Name. Thus, satan has ONLY one "goal" with his evil "demons". And that is: remove EVERY vestige of Jesus, and His "Kingdom". Which is the "Born Again** Christians". Sadly, satan is so powerful in brainwashing MOST people since creation; that he wins most of the time. In getting 2/3rd's of the world to hate Jesus from beginning to End. Sad, but OH so True. May Jesus have mercy on those foolish people; that will be cast into a "Burning Lake of Fire!" (Hell). That did not worshiip Him. End of Story and I rest me cases... ...In any case kind Sir, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN! * Quote from: "Philip St. John Basil Rathbone MC (13 June 1892 - 21 July 1967) was an English actor." ** Most Christians are NOT "Born Again". Very said, but OH so true. May Jesus have mercy on them...

Micah 5:2 And you, O Bethʹle·hem Ephʹra·thah, The one too little to be among the thousands of Judah, From you will come out for me the one to be ruler in Israel, Whose origin is from ancient times, from the days of long ago. 4 He [Jesus] will stand up and shepherd in the strength of Jehovah, In the superiority of the name of JEHOVAH..HIS GOD. Matthew 2:4 On gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. (..) 6 ‘And you, O Bethʹle·hem of the land of Judah, are by no means the most insignificant city among the governors of Judah, for out of you will come a governing one, who will shepherd my people Israel.’” .. Matthew 21:9 Moreover, the crowds going ahead of him and those following him kept shouting: “Save, we pray, the Son of David! Blessed is the one WHO COMES IN JEHOVAH'S NAME! Save him, we pray, in the heights above! Psalm 118:25, 26 25 Jehovah, save us, please, we beg!

Why do so many reject Jesus? Because the false doctrine the devil has placed around Christianity. Let’s clear up the confusion. There was a division over who Jesus was when he walked the earth and there still is to this day. (John 7:12, 40-43/John 9:16, 17/John 10:19-21) So, many claim Christ, but why so many denominations in Christ? That goes against God and Christ (1 Corinthians 1:10-15) So, please read and study the scriptures sited until the end. I will explain all “Jesus is God proof texts” Psalm 110:10 states: The LORD/YHWH said to my (King David) Lord (Jesus) sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool. Jesus the servant (Acts 3:13, 26) and lamb (John 1:29) of God obeyed God even to death. (Philippians 2:5-11) Jesus is the image of God (Colossians 1:15/2 Corinthians 4:3, 4) as Adam was made in God’s image (Genesis 1:26, 27/Luke 3:38) Jesus being the second Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45) see we took on the first Adams image and likeness (Genesis 5:3/Romans 5:12-21/1 Corinthians 15:20-22) but God has made provisions thru Jesus Christ and we are allowed to be children of God if we believe in the one God sent (John 1:12/2 Corinthians 5:18) Jesus spoke what God told him to speak (John 12:49, 50/Deuteronomy 18:18/Isaiah 51:16) the apostles never taught Jesus was God/YHWH/Yahweh/Jehovah neither did Jesus himself (Luke 24:19/Acts 2:22/John 14:10, 11/1 Corinthians 8:5, 6/1 Timothy 2.5/John 17:3/Mark 12:28-34) bottom line is Jesus is our king and the Son of God (Matthew 16:13-17) Zero scriptures say you must believe Jesus is God, but there are scriptures that say you must believe he is the Son of God. (1 John 5:5, 9-13) also Jesus was a Jew, the Jews needed convincing of no longer needing the circumcision to be justified in the eyes of God. (Romans 3, 4/Acts 15/Galatians 2) but there are zero scriptures to convince the Jews of a 3 in 1 God or that Jesus is or was God. Besides Jesus didn’t exist until being placed in the womb of the Virgin Mary (Matthew 1:18-21/Luke 1:35) by the Holy Spirit which comes from heaven (1 Peter 1:12) (formed in the womb Isaiah 49:5) God is Jesus’s God from the womb but not before b/c Jesus didn’t exist yet (Psalm 22:10) and since Jesus didn’t exist until the womb no one was worthy in heaven on earth or under the earth until Jesus (Revelation 5:1-14) Since Jesus is of the Holy Spirit (which comes from heaven 1 Peter 1:12) this is why Jesus can rightly say he is from heaven and not made of the earth (John 8:23) like the first Adam Genesis 2:7 Recall Noah walked the earth before it was destroyed by the flood. Genesis chapters 6-9. So Noah walked the old earth and the New earth after he came out of the ark. Same with Jesus (Micah 5:2 from the old age, some say from eternity past/John 1:10) Jesus walked the old earth before the foundation of the New earth/world which was laid in his blood/made thru Jesus by God. (Isaiah 51:16/2 Corinthians 5:17/Psalm 65:17) This also helps explain the glory Jesus shared with God before the new world John 17:5 these scriptures help show how he shared such glory while walking the old earth. John 1:14/John 2:11/John 11:4 “Jesus is God proof texts” debunked. JOHN 8:58 ego eimi means “I am he” not “I AM!” It is said by healed blind man at John 9:9, angel Gabriel at Luke 1:19, apostle Peter at Acts 10:21. It is not a claim to deity or being God. Jesus was simply stating he is first in all things (Colossians 1:15, 17, 18/Revelation 5/Acts 26:23) even before Abraham in the resurrection. Remember the first will be last and the last first. (Luke 13:29, 30) JOHN 20:28 “My Lord and My God” Jesus revealed God to them/him for God was with Jesus (John 1:18/Matthew 11:27/Luke 10:22/2 Corinthians 4:3, 4/Acts 10:38/John 8:29/John 16:32/John 14:19, 20) JOHN 1:1 could be translated “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. And what God was/is the Word was/is. So, what is God? God is Spirit (John 4:24) and Jesus was raised in the Spirit (1 Peter 3:18) and we know Jesus is Spirit because flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 15:50) also John 1:1 is a prologue , meaning it tells WHAT happened, before it tells HOW it happened. So, at the time of John writing his gospel Jesus has already ascended and is already at the right hand of God. Because he (Jesus) was obedient even to death (Philippians 2:8-11) That is why (Jesus) was/is with God. And while Jesus was on earth God was with him. (See above about JOHN 20:28 note) Then John 1:6 begins the explanation of how it all happened. It is the same with Genesis chapters 1 and 2. And the Tower of Babel if you read the chapter before the story of Babel it tells how they left each with their own language then they tell how it all happened. Genesis chapter 10 and 11. JOHN 1:3 explains these verses (Colossians 1:16/Luke 22:28-30/Revelation 1:5/Revelation 5:9, 10) The new beginning that God created, is laid in Christ blood (Isaiah 51:16/2 Corinthians 5:17/Galatians 6:14, 15) Jesus was slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8) the apostles were chosen before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4) what the apostles were speaking about was the New creation (Hebrews 2:5) All of this is about the beginning, but the beginning of the new creation which is laid in Christ Jesus. JOHN 1:4, 5 explains John 5:19-23, 26/John 8:12/John 11:25/John 14:6/1 Corinthians 15:45 Philippians 2:5-11 explains Jesus who was created perfect in God’s image/form just as Adam was (1 Corinthians 15:45) but lowered himself/humbled himself to resemble our sinful state since we are in Adams image (Genesis 5:3) if Jesus were God and we are to have the same mindset as Jesus then we are to think we are equal with God? Acts 20:28 God is Spirit he did not purchase the church with his own blood, God doesn’t have blood, but the Son of God did. This is a scribal error or scribes trying to influence their own doctrine or ideas (which is well documented) as with 1 Timothy 3:16/Romans 9:5/Titus 2:13/Hebrews 1:8/Psalm 45:6 (your throne is God which makes sense when Revelation 3:21 is read) Matthew 28:19 (no other scripture says to baptize in any name but Jesus) 1 John 5:7/Jude 5 it was God not Jesus who saved the people from Egypt. It was Jesus who shed his blood and died (Romans 8:34) God cannot die. In fact God left Jesus during his death precisely because the Spirit of God cannot die. Mark 15:34. I’ll end with this scripture John 4:22

(Luke 23:39-43) So if you can you should, but it doesn’t seem to be a deal breaker if you for some reason are unable.

@@robertabrao7785 "And Peter said to them, 'Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit'" (Acts 2:38). Acts 2:38 proves that you have to be baptized to have your sins forgiven. If you have to be baptized to have your sins forgiven then you have to be baptized to he saved. Paul not being sent to baptize doesn't prove that you don't have to be baptized to be saved. "Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive" (Hebrews 9:15-17) Hebrews 9:15-17 proves Jesus had to die for the new covenant to begin. The thief on the cross was saved before Jesus died. If Jesus had to die for the new covenant to begin and if the thief on the cross was saved before Jesus died then the thief on the cross was saved before the new covenant began. If the thief on the cross was saved before the new covenant began then he didn't have to be baptized to be saved.

Because Jesus wasn’t god. Why would someone believe that Jesus was god? Because he said he was? Many others have claimed the same. That pretty much means nothing.

The Gospel: Plain and Simple “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” - 2 Corithians 11:3 Ask someone today if they are saved and you will most likely hear responses like these: “I have accepted Jesus into my heart.” Or “I have made him Lord of my life.” “I’ve been baptized.” “I said a prayer.” Sounds all good and churchy don’t it; but it is difficult to de-termine whether or not a person actually knows the gospel that saves them. These use￾less phrases don’t describe a thing about what the gospel is and has left a devastating effect of people not knowing what it is that they are saved from nor how they are saved; which leaves a more serious effect of people ques￾tioning their salvation. Let’s not muddy the simplicity of salva￾tion that is in Christ with vague church sounding phrases that do not communicate anything. But rather present God’s word with clarity and assuredness. So here is the gospel: plain and simple. Sin was passed upon all men by one man Adam, and death is a consequence of this sin (Rom 5:12). Mankind has an eternal destiny of condemnation and wrath - Hell - because of this sin (Rom 6:23). No matter what good works one might do we are still found sinners in the sight of our Creator God. And all un￾righteousness and those who follow get in￾dignation and wrath. We cannot be found righteous for by God’s law we are found sin￾ners (Rom 3:19-20). If we have broken even one law we are found guilty. It is for this reason of not being able to create our own righteousness and being born in a sinful flesh that we need a savior (Titus 3:5). Christ is that Savior, God manifested in the flesh, sinless, died in our place on a cross 2000 years ago. Taking upon him the wrath and judgement that was intended for us sin￾ners. And it is through his bloodshed, burial, and resurrection on our behalf that we are able to have peace with God and forgiveness of our sins (1 Cor 15:1-4, Col 3:14). This good news is unto all but only those that believe in it are made righteous in Christ (Romans 3:22). It is then after we have heard this good news of Christ’s righteousness available to us freely, that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and we are now part of Christ’s body the church (Eph 1:13) There is nothing that we need to do, no good works that are required, and no bad works that can separate us from our new po￾sition in Christ (Romans 8:35-39). Faith and belief in this information from God’s word is the gospel. The gospel is not accepting Jesus into your heart. The gospel is not making him lord of your life, it is not saying a prayer and it is not being baptized with water. So next time someone asks you if you are saved. Give them the clear assured answer “Yes! And let me tell you why!” Find more free resources at: www.graceambassadors.com
