Knowing we are saved!
“Galatians:16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.” :scripture
Abraham was saved because he believed God. Noah was saved because he believed God. The thief on the cross was saved by asking the Lord to remember him when He came into His kingdom - showing that He believed Jesus was the promised one sent by God. All the apostles were saved by believing that Jesus was the Messiah and Son of God. All in the book of Acts were saved by hearing and believing that Jesus was the risen Christ. As you keep reading you will see more confirmation in the scriptures of faith in Jesus Christ being the only requirement for salvation. If you have not gone down this path and have the courage to continue it will change your life forever! By reading the scriptures that are to follow you will open the door for the Holy Spirit to enter in and reveal to you your sinful nature. For the first time you will see yourself thru God’s eyes. To read the Word of God that reveals to you that God cannot accept you the way you are. You must be changed! This revelation can be an emotional unhinging experience that should place you at the center of God’s Will.

1 Corinthians 1:20-21 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
1Timothy 1:15-16 15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.
Hebrews 10:39 38 Now the[a]just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”[b]39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
1John 3:23 22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us[a] commandment.
1John 5:13 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life,[a] and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

“Ephesians 14-17 “14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.” 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
Now that we are empowered with the Word of God we must take advantage of every form of communication that exists today to sow the seeds of salvation. In our home, Churches, clubs, workplace and thru our participation on the internet we must get thru to people that God is real. You have heard it said that this is the final generation that time is short, I believe this as well! You have also heard it said that we are running out of time to reach all those that need to be saved this is not true in my opinion. God has a plan and he nose all those that need to be saved. When we are at the center of God’s Will He will give us the time and the means to reach those he has selected for us to witness too. When we are doing God’s Work our concept of time is irrelevant. Trust in the power of the Lord him alone with the Father in heaven control the timeline.
:scripture “Ephesians 18-20 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”
