The Real Thing!

1Timothy; 1:15
(This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.)
This portion of Scripture states clearly that we can put our faith in Jesus for forgiveness of sins. It is by faith and a sure thing and worthy of our acceptance. Jesus Himself also has told us the same thing. Jesus would not have had to suffer and die in our place if there had been another way.

Satan who is the ultimate counterfeiter has brought into the world many different beliefs. He tells people that they don't have to put their faith in Jesus to inherit eternal life. Many people have believed the lie and gone to the grave in their sins. God tells us that we must have our sins forgiven to inherit the kingdom of God. We are also told that we cannot do it on our own. Jesus came and died in our place and payed the price for our sins. To obtain that forgiveness though, you must come to Him and repent and ask for it. He's not going to force anyone acceptance forgiveness from Him, but if they don't ask, there will be no forgiveness of sin.
Acts; 4:12
(Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.")

There are going to be a lot of people who will try to get to heaven their way only to end up in the lake of fire. All through the Bible we are told that there is only one way to heaven and Jesus is the only way. Don't be foolish as to think you can do it on your own because you can't. Eternal life is a gift from God and like any gift, you must receive it.
Ephesians; 2:8-9
(For by grace you have been saved through faith, and not of yourselves; it is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.)


God Bless You!
