Do You Know How to Be Saved?

Post #1

Post by Richard Aberdeen »

Ask Jesus to forgive you and save you from your sins. That's it. Unlike Christianity, other religions, philosophies, self-help systems and other rubbish within the trash heap of human history, Jesus says: "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

It is unwise to view reading the Bible as a religious requirement and worse, to view Jesus as a religion. It is even more unwise to confuse Jesus with Christianity. It is very wise however, to read the Bible and, to read a chapter in the New Testament every morning. Jesus says, if we remain in his word, we will know the truth and the truth will make us free; and if he makes us free, we will be "free indeed" John 8:31-36.

NOTE: If you don't believe you are a sinner, try doing what you think is good all of the time and, see how well you do. If you think you are better than other people or most or some other people or, if you don't believe "all we like sheep have gone astray," check out this Video:

No one knows how to be saved, but many know that the way to be saved is only the Lord Jesus Christ, who, alone, is the executor of the HOWs of salvation. Therefore, it takes the real and forever living Christ Jesus for anyone to be saved. Without the interaction of the Lord Jesus Christ, no one gets saved.

Salvation is "a free gift, not of works, it is a gift of God, not of works less anyone should boast. "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord, shall be saved."

It is true that we don't know how to save ourselves.

Salvation is "a free gift, not of works, it is a gift of God, not of works less anyone should boast.
The teaching, 'salvation is free gift....,' is not from the Lord Jesus Christ, whose call to all is as follows, to wit:

'Remember, eternal life and your salvation are in My hands. If you want to be saved, come and draw near to Me. If you want eternal life, come and call upon Me. Trust in Me, because if you don't, you will have no salvation and no eternal life. You will have nowhere to go but to calamity and suffering.'

@Richard Aberdeen, how have professing Christians hurt you? I get it that people can become bitter toward the ones who have wronged them, but it's wrong to transfer that anger to many other people they don't know.

For starters, many of them support Trump's wicked policies, which are diametrically opposed to the teaching of Jesus.
