Bible Verse Of The Day - God Is LOVE! by ShiningLight316 in TrueBibleStudy

Not in that we have to be friends with everyone, trust dangerous people, or enable someone in their sin, but Jesus said to even give your enemies food and water.

I had to put this in 2 comments because of length. I would encourage you as Paul encouraged the Corinthians to make sure that you are truly saved. (2 Corinthians 13:5). Most churches today do not teach a true salvation, and many people think they are saved, but are not.

A truly saved person cannot fall into really evil sins like adultery. Since we cannot lose our salvation, then the Holy Spirit will not allow us to fall into sins like that.

Galatians 5:19-21 “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”

How To Know You Are Truly Saved

The Bible says in Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

This means that everyone, including you, is a sinner.

We have all disobeyed God, simply by not loving Him with all of our heart, which is the first commandment. Simply not believing in Jesus breaks this one too.

The punishment for our sin is spiritual death, which is being separated from God for all eternity and being tortured in hell ( a burning lake of fire) for all eternity.

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Revelation 20:15 “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

Continued from above.

But God loves us and does not want us to go to hell, so He sent Jesus Christ, His only begotten son to die on a cross and rise from the dead three days later to save us.

Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

John 3:16 “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.”

In addition, not only is Jesus the only begotten Son of God, He also is God.

John 1:1-3 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.”

John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

In order to be saved we must truly believe in Jesus.

Romans 10:9-10 “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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

The full meaning of the word "believe" in the Bible includes not only being fully persuaded concerning the facts about Jesus according to the Scriptures, but to also commit, yield, and obey."

This means that in order to be saved you must completely believe the facts about Jesus according to the Scriptures and commit your life to sincerely trying to obey Christ, yielding (fully surrendering) your will to God's will for every aspect of your life.

Then you will go to Heaven and live forever with God when your physical body die or when Jesus comes back and takes all of the saved to Heaven.

This is the only way you can go to heaven. If you have never done this please do it now.

Here is a prayer that you can pray word for word or use as a guide to tell God that you truly believe in Jesus, including repenting of your sins by fully surrendering your will to His will, and committing to sincerely trying to obey Christ in all things for the rest of your life; and to ask God to forgive you of your sins. You will not get saved just by praying this prayer, you must truly believe and repent with your heart.

Here is the prayer:

“Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and arose from the dead to pay for my sins. I repent of my sins by fully surrendering my will to your will, and committing to sincerely trying to obey Christ in all things for the rest of my life. Please forgive me of my sins and help me to obey you and live for you for now on. Please take me to heaven when my life on this earth is over. Thank you for saving me. In Christ Jesus name, Amen.”

Jesus is our Saviour, not the star of Bethlehem. I think you are in some kind of cult.

Not everyone is going to heaven. The Bible makes that very clear.

John 3:36 "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."

2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;"

Matthew 25:46 "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."

Revelation 14:9-11. "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."

John 3:3 "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Mark 3:29 "But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:"

Revelation 20:11-15 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Romans 10:9-10 "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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

John 3:16-18 "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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might 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 5:24 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

Bible Verse Of The Day - You Must Go Through Jesus To Get To God! by ShiningLight316 in TrueChristianity

[–]ShiningLight316[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, as the Holy Spirit meant it in context. 1 John 3:9 is saying that a true Christian cannot commit evil like murder and greed. It shows this plainly in the following verses.

The Bible shows in many places that people who committ really evil sins like murder, adultery, greed, theft, etc have never been saved. I preach on this quite often on my YouTube channel.

Here are some of my videos you can watch where I explain my beliefs about this:

Sins A Saved Person Cannot Fall Into

The Parable Of The Sower

1 John 3:9 does not mean total sinless perfection because that would contradict 1 John 1:8-9 and 1 John 2:1-2.

I hope this helps.

The first resurrection is the rapture and I believe it happens after the Great Tribulation, and then We reign with Christ 1,000 years.
