~ Salvation ~

Hi. I am writing to you all from my heart. I know that it is politically incorrect to discuss religion, but I am doing it anyway. We all need to be 'ready' for when our time comes -- no one knows when that will be. Just because someone has cancer, doesn't mean it is soon over -- accidents happen all the time. Only God knows when our time is over. I do NOT want to start a 'religious' debate here at all. If you want to email me questions about the scriptures, that's fine. All I want to do is give you some scriptures for being ready to meet God, whenever that time comes.

~ PLAN of SALVATION ~

1. HEAR His word and learn of His will for every person.
John 5:24
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life."

2. BELIEVE & ACCEPT what is said about Jesus as your Savior & Lord.
John 8:24
"Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."


3. REPENT of all past & present sins and determine to live for God.
Acts 17:30
"Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent,"


4. CONFESS JESUS as Lord.
Romans 10:9
"that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;"


5. BE BAPTIZED FOR REMISSION (forgiveness) OF SINS and into the body of Christ Jesus.
Acts 2:38
"Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."


6. BEAR FRUIT FOR JESUS by faithfully and continually walking in His light and by bringing others to Him.
John 15:5
"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."

1 John 1:7
"but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin."

I would also be happy to have a Bible Correspondence with anyone either through personal emails back and forth, or through snail mail. I will mail out some things to you and you fill out and send back, or we can do it all online.
Thank you and God bless,
