To Be Truly Saved

What does it mean to be truly saved?  Some folks say you have to belong to a certain church, Others

say you have to worship this way or that.  Still others say that you have to stop doing this or that and

 if you don't then you aren't saved. There are so many conditions that "people" put on other people,

 but let's check out what Jesus says cause that is all that matters.

Romans 10:9 says that "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart

that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved",

It says will be not maybe or that you had to jump through hoops to get saved.  You don't even have to

confess that to anyone else, just God.

John 3:16 says "That God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever

believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life".  That means everyone...that means you

and that means me.  We are all a whosoever.

When God sent Jesus He came for everyone.  We were saved by Jesus and not people so ask God for

wisdom as you begin to study and learn about salvation and all that it brings.  Find a local church

that teaches the Word of God and welcomes Jesus.  Remember that you are loved and adored by

Almighty God.

GET PAST YOUR PAST

THERE ARE GOING TO BE TIMES WHEN WE LOOK BACK AND WISH WE HAD DONE

DIFFERENTLY WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER.  IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW YOUNG OR

OLD WE ARE, WE WILL BE REMINDED OF OUR PAST MISTAKES.

THE ENEMY, OUR FRIENDS, OURSELVES AND EVEN OUR FAMILY WILL AT TIMES

REMIND US OF THE PAST.

JESUS ON THE OTHER HAND WILL NEVER THROW OUR PAST IN OUR FACES.  HE

TOOK ALL OF OUR SINS TO CALVARY AND DIED FOR US.  GOD HAS FORGIVEN

US OF EVERYTHING IN OUR PAST.   WE CAN NOT CHANGE THE PAST SO DON'T

LIVE IN REGRET.

IF YOU WERE A DRUG ADDICT, ALCOHOLIC, PROSTITUTE, GOSSIP, WORRIER, ETC

JESUS HAS COVERED ALL OF THAT AND MORE WITH HIS BLOOD.  NOW WHAT WE

NEED TO DO IS GIVE OUR LIVES TO JESUS, FORGIVE OURSELVES AND GO FORWARD

AND LIVE OUR LIVES FOR CHRIST.
