(1)Salvation Comes only by Faith in Jesus Christ , Christ Alone.

Acts 4:12

12. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John 3:16-17; 18-21

16. 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.

17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18. He 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 3:36; 14:6

36. 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.

6. JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME.

Some actually pray to an imported Babylonian deity, which masquerades as co-savior, as mediatrix, for their salvation. They are actually praying unto their own spiritual death. What does God tell them, if they would only bother to read the Bible? “For there is ONE God and ONE mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Tim 2:5) There is NO other God and there is NO other mediator (intercessor) apart from Christ Jesus.

Did you get it? Biblically, there is NO OTHER MEDIATOR APART FROM CHRIST JESUS.

To whom do their pagan prayers go? Demons can and do generate powerful emotions.

Pray only to the living God and absolutely no-one else. Start by asking your God to stop the emotional input of demons.

(2) Salvation is a Free Gift, not Earned.

Ephesians 2:8-9

8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Romans 11:6 ; 4:2-5; 3:27-28

6. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

2. For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

3. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

4. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

5. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

 27. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

28. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Galatians 2:16

16. Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

(3) So None Can Glory.

1 Corinthians 1:29-31

29. That no flesh should glory in his presence.

30. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

31. That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Man can never be saved by man’s effort or design. Man can be saved only by God’s effort and design. God has accomplished the absolutely incredible and today man’s salvation is free, a free gift of truly unimaginable value and cost, now merely in return for believing who Christ Jesus is, why He Came and what He says.

For a moment, take a look at the wider picture, confronting Satan and all mankind. By law, the wages of sin is death. This Law doomed all mankind. God’s only provision for salvation is that someone perfect, an utterly innocent kinsman, can pay for the sinner. Only God Himself could and would be capable and willing to pay for us. This means that to save us God would have to die.

 IMPOSSIBLE!

This fact, most certainly, constituted all of Satan’s security – until Passover, two thousand years ago! What happened, must have been the shock of all shocks, to - you know whom.

For us, it is not any part of creation, but the creator Himself who is the treasure. God is a happiness which cannot even be expressed with words.

Jesus said, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God”, John 3:5

We are changed, we are literally BORN AGAIN by the Spirit of Almighty God and by God’s written Word (the last is the meaning of water) when we believe in our Savior and choose God to be the Ruler of our lives.           

(4)To those still searching for answers and peace, may I say again, search for the only truth and remedy that exists, for the God that loves you, who made all life and who has made, and will make again, a beautiful world.

Any CONCEIVABLE sacrifice in this life is worthwhile to find the BIBLICAL Christ Jesus and to belong to Him! He alone is our only way to the Father. If you want Him, pray now with me, "DEAREST LORD JESUS, FORGIVE ME MY SINS. I REJECT ALL NON-BIBLICAL RELIGION. COME INTO MY LIFE AND BE THE RULER OF MY LIFE. HELP ME TO LOVE YOU MORE EVERY DAY AND TO OBEY YOU WITH ALL MY STRENGTH AND TO READ YOUR BIBLE DAILY, EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE."
