God sees who we truly
are...on the inside...
in our hearts. But do
not worry because
there is GOOD NEWS
at the bottom of this
post. Please keep
reading...
1 Samuel 16:7(b)
1 Samuel 16:7(b)
...for the LORD seeth
not as man seeth; for
man looketh on the
outward appearance,
but the LORD
we do! We cannot
hide from Him, even
in the darkness! Keep
reading, the good
news is coming...
Job
Job
34:21 For his eyes are
upon the ways of man,
and he seeth all his
goings.
34:22 There is no
darkness, nor shadow
of death, where the
workers of iniquity
may hide
themselves. [God says
we are all sinners
(workers of iniquity).]
We cannot hide our
thoughts from the LORD!
Job
Job
42:1 Then Job answered
the LORD, and said,
42:2 I know that thou
canst do every thing,
and that no thought
can be withholden
from thee.
The LORD knows every
The LORD knows every
word that we speak!
Psalm 139:4
For there is not a
word in my tongue,
but, lo, O LORD, thou
knowest it altogether.
God knows all things!
1 John 3:20
For if our heart
condemn us, God is
greater than our heart,
and knoweth all things.
The BAD NEWS is
that God says we are
all sinners in need of
a Saviour. Keep reading.
Good news is coming.
John 3:19 Jesus Christ:
And this is the
condemnation, that
light is come into the
world, and men loved
darkness rather than
light, because their
deeds were evil.
The GOOD NEWS is
you can be saved
from your sins and
know that you have
eternal life in
heaven when you
die.
The Catholic
Church says that
it is wrong to say
we can know we are
going to heaven when
we die. But I didn't
say it, God did!
God did not want
us worrying our
whole lives whether
we will go to heaven
after we die. God
wanted us to know
NOW that we are
going there once
our earthly life is
over. If God made
us worry about
whether we are
going to heaven
or hell when we die,
that would be a
cruel God. And our
God in heaven is
loving and
compassionate
and merciful to us
sinners. He wants us
to be joyful and to
be at peace knowing
we do not have to
worry about what will
happen to us after
we die! That is who
our loving God is!
So how does God
say we can have
our sins forgiven
and go to heaven
when we die? God's
Holy Word, the King
James Bible, tells us
how.
Agree with God in
heaven that you are
a sinner and need a
Saviour. GOD SAYS
WE ARE ALL
SINNERS. But keep
reading because
there is Good News
for you:
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned,
and come short of the
glory of God;
Believe that Jesus
Christ, the Sinless Son
of God, shed his blood
on the cross to pay
for your sins (and
mine). Three days later
He rose from the dead.
Romans 5:8
But God commendeth
his love toward us, in
that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ
died for us.
Repent of trusting in
anything or anyone
other than Jesus
Christ (i.e. baptism,
good works, money/tithes,
man-made church rules
or traditions, or religious
ceremonies) to save you.
Titus 3:5
Not by works of
righteousness which we
have done, but according
to his mercy he saved us,
by the washing of
regeneration, and
renewing of the Holy
Ghost;
Jesus said that we do
not get to heaven by our
good works (stuff we
have done). See verses
7:22 and 7:23 below!
Matthew
7:21 Not every one that
saith unto me, Lord,
Lord, shall enter into
the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the
will of my Father which
is in heaven.
7:22 Many will say to
me in that day, Lord,
Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy
name? and in thy
name have cast
out devils? and in
thy name done
many wonderful
works?
7:23 And then will I
profess unto them,
I never knew you:
depart from me, ye
that work iniquity.
Accept God's Free
Gift of eternal life
through his Sinless
Son, the Lord Jesus
Christ. It is a free gift
to you, but it cost Jesus
Christ his life! You do
not have to work to
earn a Gift - It is free!
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is
death; but the gift of
God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ
our Lord.
God tells us that as
many as received
Jesus Christ as their
Saviour and believed
on his name (trusted
him as Saviour), he
gave them power to
become the sons
(and daughters) of
God the Father in
heaven!
John 1:12
But as many as received
him [trusted Jesus], to
them gave he power to
become the sons of God,
even to them that
believe on his name.
So, if you confessed to
God in heaven that you
are a sinner in need of
a Saviour, and you
believe that Jesus Christ
died for your sins and
that God raised him
from the dead, then
you shall be saved.
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe
in thine heart that God
hath raised him from
the dead, thou shalt
be saved.
And when you die, you
will go straight to heaven
to be with Jesus Christ
forever and ever! The
following Bible verse
is one of my favorites.
It gave me comfort when
I went through double
breast cancer surgery
for I knew that if I died
on the operating table
I would immediately be
in heaven with Jesus!
Knowing that is why I
no longer fear what
comes after death.
What freedom there is
in knowing that.
2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say,
and willing rather to be
absent from the body,
and to be present with
the Lord.
One note to all dear
Catholics: The Catholic
church says that it is
wrong to believe that
you can know you are
saved before you die.
Please think about
this: God is a God of
love. After all he sent
his Son to die for your
sins so you could be
with him in heaven for
eternity! That is love!
Why would a God of love
want you to worry all of
your life whether you will
go to heaven or hell when
you die? God in heaven
wants us to have peace
and joy in this life as we
live for him and draw
others to him as their
Saviour. Only a cruel
God would want us
worried and stressed
about what comes after
death. But GOD LOVES
YOU and wants you to
have peace knowing that
you are saved now and
can know now that you
are going to heaven when
you die! Please trust your
loving heavenly Father's
Holy Word (the King James
Bible) when God tells you
that you will be with Him
after death if you trusted
Jesus Christ as your
Saviour!
And now that you have
become a Christian, it
is important to learn how
to live a life that glorifies
God in heaven who gave
you the Gift of salvation.

Now That I Am Saved?'
