Salvation The Treasure In The Field
Salvation is more pressing as each day goes by...it is so hard to have that conversation to a world that is lost to the world and its temporal systems.
anyway...why is Salvation so important far more important than anything all the theology and all the verbal sparring of ideas wont get us to heaven. the single only thing is Believing in what Jesus Christ did for us ALL. as in Everyone.
Quote
John 3:15-18 King James Version
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.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.
recently i realised that (and i am one of those) that people miss the full message of John or cant believe its that simple!
3:15 basically all you need to do to get Saved or Born again is to believe in Jesus Christ and what he did for us (1 Cor 15:1-4)
3:16 repeats this again which confirms and strengthens the message of belief
3:16 this is Key: For God so loved the world,... notice the word loved is used past tense...what this means is that Jesus Christ has made a way for people to get Saved. He died once and for all time. Jesus Christ did his part now we are to do our part to accept the free gift of Salvation, by Grace through Faith.
3:18 tells us what will happen to those that refuse to believe in Jesus Christ who are in effect sticking two fingers up to God! and God being the just and merciful God that he is allows us our free will to choose. God doesnt make anyone believe. its down to each individual.
NB God doesn't send people to hell, people by rejecting God are in effect choosing hell. that is terrible you say and unfair. But God sent his only Begotten Son to die for us all. he saved us from eternity in hell.
