Jackieboy100,
I'm glad to hear that. Thank you for taking time to listen to that message.


A while back, someone took time to share that with me and it's The Best decision that I ever made in my life. From the promises of God, I was given a most precious gift of everlasting life. ...a billionaire cannot buy that. It was bought by God's Son on the cross when He was punished in my stead, what I deserved for the thousands of sins against Him. He offered grace, that kindness that I cannot earn.
"
For by grace are you saved through faith, and that, not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Ephesians
If we tried reeeal hard to stop sinning and went through all of the religious rituals every denomination required, did you know that it would not pay for so much as one sin? Only Jesus has the ability to pay for sin and we know that He did that. There's absolutely nothing we can add to His sacrifice, nor does the Father accept any further effort on our part.
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us...."
Titus 3
Those who offer so much as one work, whether baptism, or turning from a sin, will not be given the free gift of life forever, but remain in condemnation, which is sadly hell.
Grace is His kindness to us. Undeserved on our part, but motivated by God's incredible love. We need this because we are condemned to punishment for our sins.
The one and only way to be saved from hell is by realizing that we are helpless and hopeless. Nobody can do good deeds that please God enough to escape that condemnation.
"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."
John 3
Jesus His only begotten Son is the only Savior.
Your faith must change from Jesus + Anything Jackieboy can do to........
Jesus suffered enough, He died and arose the third day plus Nothing.
The decision is to make Him the Object of your total trust ("believe on Him") and He saves you forevermore.
He is the one that delivers from hell in spite of living an imperfect life hereafter. This is Jesus' promise to you right now. He wants you to take this as if He were talking right now.
"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. 18He 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
When we accept the free gift that He paid for, he delivers us from Hell and gives a new destiny in Heaven. The other deliverance will follow and is tiny in comparison.
Jackieboy, please pray with me this prayer right now?
"Dear Jesus,
You know that I have sinned against you many times throughout my life.
It caused You more torment than I can ever know when You we're tortured, punished and died for my awful sins. I completely believe that all of them were paid for fully.
Please save me from hell.
I believe that You took back Your life on the third day. I am asking for that gift everlasting life right now that You promise to me.
Thank You Jesus for forgiving me.and for that precious gift.
Amen"
Jackieboy100,
I have to go for now, but will be back later.
