what we are looking for? satan has deceived many, and he has convinced many that we have to do something for our salvation, in order for us to be able to be saved we have to know what that one thing is, so we search forthe answer. But just as one has said already we turn to man, a higher spiritual person to show us that answer. surely someone has done the paper work the in depth study and someone else has to have already discovered the one thing that we need for our salvation. Satan has convinced many that it just can't be a gift from God. it just can't be that easy. it is such a great thing, salvation, that it must come with a great sacrifice, a great price to be paid. and we look for the price. but just as in the real world if we have to know the price of something, before we buy it, chances are we can't afford it, in the first place, so we then look for the way to earn it. while the whole time the answer is right in front of our noses. God has already paid the price, Jesus has done the work, and the Holy Spirit has showed us the way through The Word, so in one package God gave the world it's gift. and man says that no one could love that much, to give such a great gift, so we keep searching for that one thing that we can do, that we too might obtain the right to say we have pleased our God, and therefore He rewards us with everlasting Life.
Ac 4:19But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
We have the Word of God in the Holy Scriptures, but we turn to the wisdom of man over that inspired Word of God for the answers, Hearken to God, for he hath said
Joh 14:6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
