HOW TO BE SAVED, SALVATION

In the world today there exists mankind, men, women, teenagers, children, infants of every race and color. The Holy Bible teaches that the people you see everyday came from at least two parents.

Genesis 1:26-28
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,…… KJV

This generally means that a man and woman come together to produce a baby, two babies or more. The problem is that each seed produces after it's own kind according to Genesis 11-12. Therefore once Adam and Eve had sinned all the children after them inherited a sin nature from their parents.

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:-Romans 5:12 (KJV)

Your parents and my parents included were born sinners by nature because mankind had fallen away from God according to the scripture found in Romans 3:23

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; KJV

Some will say that Adam and Eve sinned way back in Garden of Eden, and that is true according to Genesis 2:16,17 and 3:1-19 and they paid a great price for their sin without a Savior.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.-1 Corinthians 15:22 (KJV)

However the reality is that if ever you did something that was wrong you have sinned also. This begs the question, Who will rescue you from the judgement to come upon all sin and sinners? Not believing on Jesus Christ as your personal Savior is wrong and because it is wrong it is also a sin. All those who choose not to believe on Him are already condemned to eternal separation in a place of torment according to John 3:18-19

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. KJV

Many people living in the world today who reject Jesus are condemn already. Yes, even various other religions. This might seem narrow minded but it is God’s Truth for all mankind. Jesus Christ is the only man who walked upon this earth sinless and specifically was crucified to pay for your personal sins. In laymen terms Jesus was murdered by being hung on a tree (The Cross). He paid for the sins of every person who ever lived upon the earth or will live upon this earth in the future, He bore our sin judgement from God. He died that all men and women might live forever in Heaven with God.

Hebrews 9:24-28
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. KJV

and Colossians 1:19-23

19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; KJV

This tragedy of not believing on Jesus Christ is not accidental for all will come unto the knowledge of the Lord according to verse 23 of Colossians 1.

If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; KJV

Therefore we have a choice to simply believe on John 3:16-17

16 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.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. KJV

This life includes a brand new spirit with the nature of God Himself living inside of you. This new spirit has the potential to grow up to be just like Jesus, the Christ. Yes, walking in the same power of God with the help of the Holy Spirit and our Father God. Just like in the beginning when God created man and woman in His image and likeness as we read in Genesis 1:26-28. Just the thought of this re-creation is getting me all excited. If you believe according to Romans 10:8-13 then you are ready to make a new life transformation, all you need to do to complete the process is confess these scriptures out loud before God Almighty with a honest and sincere heart. Upon your confession (immediately) He, the triune God, yes-the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Precious Holy Spirit will all come inside of you to live. If you are ready for the peace of mind that knows you are in right relationship with God please confess the following verses out loud before the Lord Jesus in Romans 10:8-13

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. KJV

Thanks for becoming part of the family of God, you are a Christian, and know that your Father God and Lord Jesus loves you so very, very, much. I can only encourage you to become a part of a good local church and read your Holy Bible daily especially the New Testament to find out more about who you are in Christ Jesus. As of right now you are saved by the Blood of Jesus, He died for you so that you don't have to die apart from Him. Amen!

Congraduations, Praise The Lord Jesus and Thank You Heavenly Father for your Abundant Love!

In His Love, Eric & Angela Foster
