~~~THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON WHO CAN SAVE YOU, CHRIST JESUS~~

~~~JUST JESUS~~

~~~"Do not love the world nor the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
"The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever" [1 John 2:15-17].~~

~~"There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other Name [Jesus], under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved" -[ACTS 4:12]

~~~~~~~~~~
~~~We know our Father’s name, and he has claimed us, but he has yet to come for us. So here we are. Caught between what is and what will be. No longer orphans but not yet home. What do we do in the meantime? Indeed, it can be just that—a mean time. Time made mean with disease, deceit, death, and debt. How do we live in the meantime? How do we keep our hearts headed home?

“Let us look only to Jesus, the One who began our faith and who makes it perfect” (Hebrews 12:2). Look to Jesus. Ponder his life. Consider his ways. Meditate on his words. Jesus….just Jesus. ~~

~~"JESUS, THE GOD WHO KNOWS YOUR NAME"~ / Max Lucado~ (new book, now available in Christian book stores~~(2/2020)~~

While we are on this Earth, we know that it is passing away. We are living for a Country (city) not made with hands. "For those of the faith (Hebrews 11:13-16+), make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore G-D is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them. ~~

--GOD'S PLAN FOR SALVATION ~~

"How can I find meaning and purpose in life?" is a common question and worth considering. So what is life all about--and how does this relate to God, me, and eternity?

~~It's about how we got here.~~
People on this planet didn't get here by some cosmic accident. At creation, God said "Let Us make man in Our image" (Genesis 1:26). God created men and women and placed us here on the earth.

~~It's about why God put us here.
God loves what He created and created us to truly know and enjoy Him. He loves us and wanted to live in fellowship with us. In the beginning, we lived in harmony and happiness with God and one another (Genesis 1:31).

~~ It's about how we responded.
In our early history the first humans turned away from God and went their own way--and fellowship with God was broken. Now, all people are born with a sinful nature, and without exception all of us have sinned (Romans 3:23). The consequence of this is that we are separated from God and deserve punishment for our sins.

~~It's about how God rescues us.
Out of His deep love for us, God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to rescue us from our dilemma by dying on the cross (John 3:16). By sacrificing His life on behalf of sinners He took the punishment we deserve in order to provide salvation. Then God raised Jesus from the dead, confirming the work of Jesus on the cross and establishing His power over death.

~~It's about our response.
Jesus has sufficiently paid the debt for all of our wrong-doing, and we are called to turn from our sin, rebellion, and isolation and trust what Jesus has done on our behalf.

God makes very clear the conditions by which the salvation Jesus offers can be ours. In Mark 1:15 Jesus said, "Repent, and believe in the gospel."

First, God says we must repent. The word "repent" means a change of direction. This means when we turn to God, we are turning away from sin and giving up on the attempt to make ourselves right before God.

Second, God says we must believe. The word "believe" as it is used in the Bible means trust. The object of our trust is the One who paid the price for our wrongdoing. We must trust Jesus to remove our guilt and the penalty of all the wrongs we have done. The Bible says when we put our faith in Jesus, God takes our sins away and gives us the gift of eternal life.

~~How will you respond?
~~The Bible says that "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved" (Romans 10:13). If you've not trusted in Christ as Lord and Savior, why not stop right now, turn from your sin, and believe in Him who alone can save you and give you new and eternal life?
