We live in the Biblical End Times. We ALL have to make the most important decision of our life. Pride or Being Humble? Which you chose will decide your eternal fate.
“But not as the offence, so also is the -FREE GIFT-. For if through the offence of one many be dead, -MUCH MORE- THE GRACE OF GOD, and -THE GIFT- BY GRACE, WHICH IS BY ONE MAN, Jesus Christ, hath ABOUNDED unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is -THE GIFT-: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the -FREE GIFT- is of many offences UNTO justification. For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; -MUCH MORE- they which receive ABUNDANCE OF GRACE and of -THE GIFT- of righteousness shall reign in life BY ONE, Jesus Christ.)
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness -OF ONE- the -FREE GIFT- came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience OF ONE shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence -MIGHT ABOUND-. But where sin abounded, GRACE DID -MUCH MORE- ABOUND: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might -GRACE REIGN- through righteousness UNTO eternal life BY Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 5 KJV)
Watch the words carefully as I have highlighted in Apostle Paul’s writing on Salvation in Romans 5. So do you believe that your good works are required to be saved as many pulpits teach? That you need more good deeds than bad deeds to be accepted by God? Do you believe that after you believe on Christ and His atonement for our sins that you still need to work to remain saved? It’s a lie from the majority of pulpits today and NOT BIBLICAL SALVATION.
Salvation is a FREE GIFT, to be ACCEPTED or REJECTED. Not to be worked for to obtain or keep.Jesus on how to be saved,
“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.” (John 3:18 KJV)
“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:37-40 KJV)
THAT IS THE TRUE GOSPEL OF THE BIBLE
It actually does not line up with MOST church pulpits! Why? Because, we are living in the End Times which Jesus called The Last Days. The Last Days of what? All life ending as some believe? No. The end of the age of God’s Grace. Bible Prophecy tells us what is going to happen in this time period we live in and the soon coming 7 Year Tribulation Period. It is right now just starting to play out before our eyes, yet the majority of people, including many Christians, have no idea.
Just as in the days when Christ first came in that manager, the Jewish people, who knew the prophecies about the coming of the Messiah, rejected Christ. These words of Jesus are very prevalent for today!
“He (Jesus) answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” (Matthew 16:2-3 KJV)
Was Jesus being harsh here. No. He said this to the Pharisees and Sadducees, known as the most religious leaders of Israel who studied the Torah very much. They of all people should have known that Jesus is the Messiah come because he fulfilled so many Torah (Old Testament) prophecies. Instead they came to Jesus asking for a sign so that they would know He is the Messiah foretold to come.
And what does Jesus say about the Last Days in which we live? Unfortunately, much the same.
“…Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8 KJV)
Faith. Faith In What?
Faith that Jesus paid for the sin of the whole world on that cross (1 John 2:2) as the FINAL ONCE FOR ALL sacrifice for all our sins. And that,
“…God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16 KJV)
“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” (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV)
‘Good works’ is not the wages for our sins. That is not what God requires for us to be saved. The wages of our sins is DEATH, eternal Spiritual death, and the only way to escape this eternal payment is by belief on Christ alone and His finished work on the cross.
“For the WAGES OF SIN is death; BUT THE GIFT OF GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23 KJV)
This Is Not Religious Hokey Pokey!
I know lots of you have listened to the hypocrisy from many denominations and pulpits. But have you read the Bible to see what it ACTUALLY TEACHES? You may be shocked that it does not line up with most pulpit teaching!
>> So what’s it going to be? <<
You need to decide. Pride in our own self righteous efforts to be a ‘good person’ or admit we have sinned against God and no amount of ‘good works’ or ‘good deeds’ can erase our huge debt of sins and that God sent His only begotten Son to pay for OUR SIN DEBT?
Admit it. Be humble. Believe in Christ and BE SAVED.
