I was looking for free software on download.com today and found one that I thought I might like to have on my computer. So I read the disclaimer and it was free download. I downloaded it and then it says you must register it to use it. Now what part of free was this software? THE DOWNLOAD!!! Eternal life in Jesus, now that is free to us. He paid the price for us, we cannot earn it. All we have to do is accept it by faith.
It seems like everyone has a quick fix for problems in life. There are a lot of so called religions out there who tell you that they have all of the answers for whatever ails you. How can I tell if they are telling me the truth? It's simple, if what they tell you comes true, then they are telling the truth, but if just one thing they say doesn't come true, then it is a false religion. They can't be part right and part wrong. Their religion is either all right, or all wrong.
[Signs Of Christ's Return]
Jesus tells us this is how you will know. Matthew; 24:11-12 ( Many false prophets will arise and mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.) Matthew; 24:23-25 ( Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him. " for false Christ and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. "Behold I have told you in advance.")
[Disguising Themselves]
You need to study God's word so that you aren't deceived. Paul tells us in 2Corinthians; 11:13-15 ( For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of rightousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.)
[Destructive Heresies]
Simon Peter tells us in 2Peter; 2:1-3 ( But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgement from long ago is not idle, and their distruction is not asleep.) So we are told that lot of people will beleive their lies.
[An Angel Told Me]
Paul tells us in Galatians about the perversion of the gospel. Galatians; 1:6-9 (I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!
So Gods word tells us that that many will profess to have the answers. But Jesus tells us, I am the way. John; 14:6 ( Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.) How do we get to the Father through Jesus? John; 3:16-18 ( For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.)
If you want peace in your life and assurance of eternal life, then confess to God that you are a sinner, ask for forgiveness, and ask Jesus into your life. Romans; 10:9-10 ( that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in rightousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.) Just call on God. Romans; 10:13 ( for "WHO EVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." ) Don't wait until you are standing before God, because then it will be to late. Revelation; 20:15 ( And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.)
Hebrews;10:31 ( it is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.) I pray you won't wait.
God Bless You!
