We Do Not Need To Wait Until We Die To Celebrate Our Salvation, Be Happy In Jesus Today!
Romans 10:9 (NIV)
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Some people believe this is too easy, and thus they do not believe their salvation has been purchased with the blood shed on that cross some two thousand years ago. How about you, do you believe your salvation has been reserved for you. Yes, it is true every person must make a personal commitment to follow Jesus Christ in order to be saved. Some people will say they believe in God, or a god, and thus they think this knowledge is enough to save their immortal soul. A once famous TV personality said they believed God would not only offer one plan for salvation!
James wrote about how believing in one God puts us in the same frame of mind as a demon. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. (James 2:19). It certainly is important for those who choose to follow Jesus to believe there is only one God, AND that that God is the One described in the Bible! Most of the people in this world believe there is a God or gods and their chosen religion directs them to do certain thing in order to gain their salvation. Only Christianity teaches that no human being is capable of doing works to gain their salvation, because they are sinners cursed by the original sin committed by Adam.
The atheist religion teaches there is no after life, as there is no God or gods who created everything. They believe the everything created itself through evolutionary processes! Our Bible teaches that God/Jesus created everything with the built-in capability to reproduce itself. So, everything came from nothing, or it was all created by Jesus/God, who spoke it into existence! What do you believe about how and why you (we) are here on this earth today?
Our Bible teaches that mankind was a special creation, as we were the last living breathing creature Jesus created on the sixth day of the creation week, then He rested from all He had created. Everything else created by God was created for the environmental needed for the members of mankind that He had just created. Do you know how special you are to God, as He created this universe just for mankind! However, also remember this world is now cursed by the first sin committed by Adam, so it is no longer our eternal home. A new world must be created for our perfect home for His followers to be with Jesus Christ forever.
Paul wrote about how our sinful nature can make sinful actions be attractive to us in this cursed world. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved. (Ephesians 2:3-5). Only Jesus Christ supplies the Way for mankind to also ascend into heaven when we leave this cured world! There is no other way by which your (our) immortal soul can ascend into heaven when we die.
As Paul referred to Jesus Christ as a gift, Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (2 Corinthians 9:15). Take a moment right now , as you read this to pause and say Thank You God for this undeserved gift to all of mankind. It is so sad that so few will come to believe in God’s wonderful gift to allow salvation to everyone who can be humble enough to accept the absolute freedom of salvation given immediately when accepted! Have YOU paused and grasped the significance of the only Way by which your immortal soul can be saved for eternity?
This offer is only made to sinners and offers the only WAY for your (our) immortal soul to continue to be with Jesus Christ forever. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. (Romans 3:22-24). Notice I wrote to “continue” to be with Jesus Christ, as you were immediately placed on the narrow path that leads to heaven, when you accepted your salvation through Jesus. We do not need to wait until we die to celebrate our salvation, be happy in Jesus today!
Are you good enough to go to heaven when you die? Sorry, the answer is NO! However, salvation cannot be earned by doing good deeds, the gift of salvation is too expensive for any of us to earn! Now for the Good News, Jesus Christ paid the price for you salvation, BUT you must believe that this is God’s plan for your salvation! If you do your soul will be saved through the grace Jesus Christ paid on that cross. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no-one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:8-10).
You will desire to do good deeds, not to earn salvation, but instead because your salvation will cause you to want to become Christ-like and do as He did when He walked this earth as the Savior of this world and the Son of Man. Once you accept His salvation He becomes your brother, as you have become a member of the family of God! Heaven is in your future, but freedom and happiness belong to you now!
We do not need to wait until we die to celebrate our salvation, be happy in Jesus today!
