But what saith it?
That ought to be our answer to doubt of any kind.
No matter if the question comes from people in the church building or outside of the church building, from confused convicts or scholars.
No matter if the question is from a well known artist or TV personality.
Even if the question is from a family member, preacher, the president or a friend.
Our response and confession has to be... "What saith the Word Of God?"
The word is near us, it's right up under our nose, it's been preached and taught to us, it's in our mouth, and it is engraved in our heart.
The Word Of Faith!
What does the Word Of Faith say?
It says, that If you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
First you are declaring that you believe in your heart that there is no other way but Jesus to get to God and be deemed righteous, You are saying that there is no other way to be cleansed of all sin and get to heaven except it be by this belief and confession over your self.
You believe that Jesus died as the full atonement for your sins and you also believe that God took His power and raised Jesus up from the grave and that He is now alive seated at the right hand of God on the throne.
Soon to return and take those who have made this confession with Him.
So you know that heaven bound is not based on how many trees you plant, how many people you help across the street, how many children you adopt, how many charities you give money to, how many Levitical laws you follow, how many houses you build for the homeless, or the work you do for AIDS, Cancer, Africa, or any other thing except for your confession of Faith in the Words found in Romans 10:8,9,10.
All of those loving and caring things that we give our self and time to are good and decent but they do not cleanse a man of sin.
Faith without works is dead, and works without faith is dead too.
I had the chance to talk about this with someone who is stuck in this area and I will share with you about it this week.
In order to be saved and see heaven and be a part of God's kingdom a confession with a heart belief must be made.
You will find it in Romans 10: 8,9,10
We will go deeper this week.
Just meditate.
LOVE
