About Salvation

Counting the Cost of Following Jesus Christ

This is a brief overview of 1 Corinthians as the apostle Paul taught believers and according to the apostolic traditions handed down to believers that are seldom practiced in our churches today (1 Cor.4:17; 11:1-2). The apostle Paul writes the book of 1 Corinthians to the believers or the church not to a bishop, elder, overseer, priest, pastor, building, or a church board (1 Cor. 1:2). They were to be perfectly joined together in the same mind and judgment, there was to be no division among them (1 Cor. 1:10-13; 3:3-4). Yet today, there are over 133,000 denominations in the…

Jesus Christ is the Only Way to God

It is my desire to persuade and convince you of only one God, who you can only come to know through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ said, in the book of John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Jesus made it absolutely clear He alone, is the only way to the God the Father, there is no other way to God accept through Jesus Christ. The Word of God is very clear that there is only one way to come to God the Father and to know God…

No Self Clean-up Required

Here is a post from my wife's blog givingitalltochrist.org that I would like to share with you. The Lord has been trying to show or tell me that He loves us in our mess. He does not want us to put out traffic cones and caution tape to separate ourselves from Him until we “fix” or clean ourselves up. He loves us in our mess and desires to love us out of our mess. We are not perfect beings, but He is! It is through His righteousness that we are perfected and made righteous. Without allowing His love to come…

Our Need for Salvation

We are born with an inherited sin nature and none of us can stand perfect before God, because we have all sinned at least once in our lifetime. The Word of God declares that all people have sinned against God; all have done wickedly at some point in their life (Rom.3:23). In James 2:10, it tells us, “For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.” The problem is with our hearts, this is where all of our sin originates and it is desperately wicked as it says in Jeremiah 17:9,…

Prayer of Salvation

If you have considered and counted the cost of following Jesus Christ and are willing to forsake all you have and are to follow Him then proceed to read on. The Word of God declares in Romans 10:8-13, “But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and…

The Plan of Salvation

Our Creator, God the Father, purposed in His Son Jesus Christ the plan of salvation to redeem mankind from their fallen state. This plan of salvation was already in place before time began to reconcile us back to Himself and to restore our relationship with Him. God’s plan to redeem fallen man and restore our relationship with Him begins in the Book of Genesis 3:15. It is here we see a glimpse of His plan for the future of mankind which offers hope in the midst of judgment. God offers us hope through the first prophecy concerning the promise of…
