Let me get this straight. God so loved the world that He sends Jesus Christ here to die for all our sins so we could live forever with Him by changing our minds and believing in Him. This will result in a whole new way of life, becoming born again. The best life one could possibly enjoy. Yet so many people mock Him and could care less as they head for a Christ-less eternity. Very scary indeed.

Satan has deceived the whole world, yes! However that is no excuse when one stands before God Almighty come judgment day. It pains me to see this all go on right before my very eyes.

VII. Having a saving faith is key because it determines our eternal destiny. Many people are deceived. They think because they go to church, are baptized, and tithe regularly, they are saved. They know Jesus intellectually, but they don’t have a relationship with Him.

• A. A person who has saving faith both knows the truth of Scripture and practices it (Rom. 1:32).
• B. Even demons and the devil have intellectual faith. We must both believe and bear fruit (James 2:18-20).
• C. Jesus is addressed as “Lord” 185 times in the gospels. This is important to note because it shows that the disciples recognized His lordship. This truth is the foundation of our faith, the bedrock upon which everything else is built.
• D. Those who believe must also express repentance for sin if we truly acknowledge Jesus as our Savior (Luke 24:45-48; Acts 2:36-38). Repentance and faith go hand in hand.

VIII. Conclusion: A saving faith in Jesus Christ means that we accept Him as the Son of God, the only sacrifice that could atone for our sins. As a result, we desire to repent and to surrender every aspect of our lives to Him. He will then transform us and conform us to His image. As we walk with God, the more He will bless each of us with perfect assurance regarding our salvation and our relationship with Him. -Dr. Charles Stanley

Too many people get caught up in traditions and refuse to look outside of the box (religion) in what they were raised with. Whether it be due to fear of being ostracized from the family or whatever reason. Would you really decide to disappoint Jesus (Truth) rather than someone He created?

It's amazing how you can see right through the lies of this world upon being born again in Christ. Sin is so rampant that to live godly, people think you are INSANE. People have been so polluted by sin that they are no longer sensitive to it once so ever. Satan has blinded the masses so bad that this world has everything backwards; good is now evil and vice versa.

Folks trample upon God's grace daily as if He is some joke. If they only knew what the afterlife will be for them without Him. God is love, light, and everything beautiful..oh the horror of missing that for all of eternity. One cannot even being to grasp what that fate entails.

I have the truth and it's my job to warn others in love, but once again good is evil and I'm just INSANE so they say.
