Salvation is not as hard as you think, the key to
God is Jesus Christ, will you open your heart to Jesus Christ?
What kind of God is the creator? He is a humble, childlike God as He came to us 2000 years ago,
born in a barn. How many of you were born in a barn? Most are born in a fancy hospital.
Moreover, He worked as a carpenter most of His life, more reason for His humbleness.
I've worked in easy jobs, e.g. my computer shop. I've done carpentry work and it was both hard and
hearty. During Jesus Christ's ministry He didn't own anything, everything He had was given to Him to use or
eat. Here's one of His quotes: "Foxes have holes and birds...have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to
lay His head." Mat 8:20 He cured and fed thousands and drove away demons not asking for anything in
return but to give praise to the Lord God His father. But how can the Lord be this humble Jesus Christ and
a God of wrath as we know Him in the Old Testament? Simple, while inside his kingdom is the Word
of God (Jesus Christ) in all humbleness and love, the kingdom is sorrounded by the power and glory of Almighty
God and His angels, militarily. Yeah militarily, nothing comes or goes in eternity without the
permission of the Almighty. So the Almighty sent His Son, Jesus Christ as He is described in
the following verses:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the
beginning with God." (John 1:1-2)
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us..." (John 1:14)
He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave
the right to become children of God, to those who believe in his name. (John 1:11-12)
Can you accept a guy named Jesus Christ? But He's more than a guy, He is God in the flesh. Here are two of His quotes which indicate that:
"And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. John 12:45 I and My Father are one. John 10:30
When Jesus was tested by a lawyer "Teacher which is the great commandment in the law?" Mat 22:36
Jesus responded "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul,
and with all your mind...And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Mat 22:39-40
Now these commandments all tie into this other quote of Jesus by Apostle John: "At that day you
will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you." John 14:20 So here's what that says
to me, we are all interconnected through God, and that's why you don't want to hate your neighbor,
and more importantly love your God with all your heart, soul and mind.
How hard this is for people to do. Look brothers and sisters, it's hard for me too. I get mad
just driving on the road. So are we all damned? NO, here's what Jesus said to
His Apostles when they all thought that no one will get saved, "The things that are impossible with
men are possible with God." Luke 18:27
And as you ask so do I, is it really that easy? Yeah, here's what Jesus said about getting saved:
"I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture." John 10:9
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
"He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me." John 12:44
"Whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven." Luke 10:32
For Whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in his own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels. Luk 9:26
Here's what Jesus' Apostles Peter and John said to the Saducees and the Pharasees about Jesus Christ after they had
been in custody for preaching the resurrection:
"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name [Jesus Christ of Nazareth] under heaven given among
men by which we must be saved." Romans 4:12
So what happens to you if you can't handle Jesus Christ. In other words it is bull" " to you or a mere fantasy:
"He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him-the Word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. John 12:48
"For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son." John 5:22
Brothers and sisters, you don't want to see this: Rev 20:11 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it,
from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them." Because if you don't accept
Jesus Christ, I guarantee you that you will see this, and nobody is going to make it, "For with the same measure [judgement,
we all do it, we can't help it.] that you use, it will be measured back to you." Luk 6:37-38
So if you reject Jesus, you will be in for a big disappointment when you die and on Judgement Day because none of us
are really good. We are flesh = sin. We can never be good enough. A lot of people think they are because they obey the
laws of the land, they don't bother anyone and give to charities, but would they give if it was their last dollar?
Or would they give their life for a stranger. Or would they take their son's or daughter's place in Hell? No, and if
they say yes, they'll want to change the deal after a few seconds of hellfire. In fact even Jesus said He wasn't good in this quote:
"Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is , God." Mar 10:15 Why did He say that if He was God in
the flesh? That's because He was in the flesh. Flesh = Sin. You can't be good even if you tried forever and ever.
You see the nature of flesh is sin. God knows that and gives us a chance to be hypocrites. Why? Because were are.
Don't feel bad, you're only human. Just confess to God, I'm a hypocrite and sinner, please forgive me in the name of
Jesus Christ and wash me of my sins for I accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior.
Hence you can try to be good all your life, e.g. 1 year, 10 years, 50 years,
70 years, 100 years. Stop trying to do what's divine and give in to Jesus. Afterall time is nothing to God. This is
a test. Why do you think God lets horrible things happen in this world? Life is just a test, with the best 3d interaction
gaming you can ever imagine; so good, you are fooled to think that this is reality. Think about it, if you were
the smartest, wealthiest and most powerful person in the world, how would you be able to tell who is a snake and who
you can trust. Well nobody, however, if people didn't know what you looked like, you could easily show up and pretend
to be a poor humble laborer, e.g. carpenter. Then the friends you accumulate, you will know they are for you and not
your power, wealth and intellect. Hence He showed up as Jesus Christ 2000 years ago as a pauper and then
lived as a carpenter and not as the Lord of Lords and King of Kings that He is.
(Beware, he that comes that way before Armageddon is the antichrist.)
Therefore, Jesus Christ says "He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Mat 12:30 Now notice the second part of that quote, "scattereth abroad". That's what happened to the Jews, His people.
They rejected Him and for the past 2000 years were scattered abroad. However, the Lord said that He would bring them
back at the endtimes, thus the creation of Israel in 1948. Let me tell you something brothers
and sisters, reality is eternity. You say you are a sinner, a friend of mine, Apostle J, says it best: "Jesus catches
his fish first and then He cleans them."
In other words, by surrendering to Jesus, you're still going to be an SOB! However, as you walk with the Lord as much as
you can bear, He will help you clean up your act as He sees that you have a drop of genuine interest in becoming
the person He wants you to be. I said drop, few have two drops.
Now many people have been turned off by the churches. Look don't feel bad. I don't go to church either. The Lord told me
not to, but I went and I was saddened. My heart was broken. The Lord said "you didn't obey my Word". And I said what did
I not obey? And after much prayer, I was reminded that He told me not to go. The church
is in the heart of man, not in a building. All too often people put their faith in organizations/church or other people,
e.g. I hear this often,
the Christians that I know are hypocrites. They judge, that's all they like to do. And I say to that, they are not Jesus
Christ, they are humans = flesh = sin. They didn't die for our sins, Jesus Christ did. Thus, if you put your
faith in people, e.g. Christians, etc., you will undoublably be disappointed. Why is this you ask, because we are all
selfish, and big sinners. More reason to believe that we can never be 100% good. Remember, even Jesus said He wasn't good.
Another reason churches turn off people is because these are the endtimes. Duh...Wake up and smell the bullshit.
In the Book of Revelatons, the Apostle John talked about What Jesus was telling him: that in the endtimes the churches
will have fallen away from God-Church Apostacy. Hence that's what has happened to the churches. Therefore, don't let
them bring you down, or lose your hope, put your faith in Jesus Christ instead.
Finally, if you still don't accept Jesus Christ, what is listed above or below, I guess it proves this next quote:
"No one can come to Me [Jesus] unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:44
All I could say to you guys is: good luck. Just remember this: As long as you are alive, the chance to accept Him will
always be there. Like a parent that wants his troubled child to come home and genuinely give up the wrong lifestyle that
caused them to part. However it may be harder or even easier in the future for you to accept Him. No one can
judge that but the Lord.
