---THE FREEDOM OF SALVATION~~ ----(PLEASE READ: Galatians 3:10-13, Galatians 3:21-24)-
Most of us are accustomed to working for a reward. We get paid for a completed job, and there’s a bonus when our effort exceeds expectation. It’s understandable, then, why so many people assume salvation depends upon our actions. But thankfully, that is simply not the case.God gave commandments to reveal His standard for holiness, but—with the exception of Jesus—no one has ever obeyed them perfectly. In fact, James 2:10 points out that “whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.” Just one single jealous thought, unkind comment, or dishonoring action is all it takes to be a lawbreaker, according to God’s specifications. In other words, if salvation depended on our inadequate self-righteousness, nobody could be saved. God’s laws weren’t intended to save us; rather, they were intended to show our helplessness and point us to Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:24). -Our heavenly Father knew that our own strength was insufficient for keeping His law. Yet out of grace, He sent His sinless Son Jesus to take the penalty we deserved for our wrongdoing—death (Rom. 6:23). The Savior bore our iniquities, died, and rose from the grave. In doing so, He conquered sin so we can be free.
Jesus’ death and resurrection broke the bonds of sin. Are you living in the freedom His blood made possible? We can do nothing to reconcile ourselves to God; our only hope is to [u]accept the free gift of the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf. In surrendering our life to Him, we find genuine liberation.~~ **--IN TOUCH~~**[ "He that winneth souls is wise." Each of us are on this planet to lead others to Jesus Christ. We were born in the flesh, in order to be born in the Spirit. To live for Christ is all Spiritual. There are many questions that we do not have the answers for. BUT we do know that Jesus Christ had to die a brutal death on the Cross in order to pay our sin-debt. "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin." This blood had to be completely clean, without spot of any sin. Jesus Christ NEVER sinned. He took our sins and nailed them to the Cross. We must accept His ' free gift' in order to be saved. Invite Him into our heart and lives and we will be a 'new person'. It's totally an amazing gift of GRACE, from our LORD. There are many churches, or religions, that teach contrary to this Word. They are wrong. According to God's Word, the Holy Bible, Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'--(JOHN 3:5-7)~"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him." --(JOHN 3:16-17) -"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. For with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation " --(ROMANS 10:9-10)~~]---- "HOW DEEP THE FATHER'S LOVE FOR US" --/SELAH~~ < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKDujmtyAVk> ---------
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
