God’s Free Gift Of Salvation, How To Attain It



In The Beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was God. He was in The Beginning with God.  All Things were Made through Him, and without Him, nothing was Made that was Made.  In Him was Life, and The Life was The Light of Men.  And The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did NOT Comprehend it.  And The Word became flesh and dwelt among Us, and We Beheld His Glory, The Glory as of The Only Begotten of The Father, Full of Grace and Truth.

The Lord Jesus Christ, lived a sin-free Life, and willingly went to His death upon The Cross, why?  Well, because He knew this was, The Reason, He had taken human form (flesh), which was, to die upon The Cross.  The Word, became flesh, and was given The Name, Jesus, just as God Almighty had Commanded.  Jesus Christ was, fully God and fully Man.  When sin entered the World, it (sin) separated Man (and Woman), from God Almighty.  God Almighty requires a Blood Sacrifice, for The Remission (or cleansing) of sin.  For the wages (payment) of sin, is death (an Eternal Separation from God Almighty), but The Gift of God Almighty, is Eternal Life (in God’s Immediate Presence, for Eternity), through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.  In other words, someone has to pay the Sin Debt, for Our sin.  If We do, We will be separated from God Almighty, for Eternity, but if someone else pays this Sin Debt, for Us, then it’s paid.  Our Lord Jesus Christ, willingly, went to The Cross, taking upon Himself, All the sins of Mankind, paying the Sin Debt, Once for All!  That’s right, the Sin Debt, which is required for each of Us to pay, because of Our sin, was PAID IN FULL, Once for ALL, by Our Lord Jesus Christ, upon The Cross (His Crucifixion).  Then, on The Third Day, God Almighty Raised Jesus Christ, Alive, from the grave (His Resurrection).  That’s right, Jesus Christ defeated death, by The Hand of God Almighty, and was Raised from the grave, Alive!  And because Our Lord Jesus Christ, defeated death, He broke the chains of Our bondage to sin, and it’s Ultimate Payment, death (an Eternal Separation from God Almighty).  Meaning, through Our Lord Jesus Christ, We can have Redemption, and can be in God’s Immediate Presence, for Eternity.  God’s Amazing Saving Grace, through God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  So, what must each of Us do, to accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, YOU ask? 

Well, YOU must admit, that YOU are a sinner, and that YOU do NOT deserve, to enter God’s Immediate Presence.  YOU must acknowledge, Our Lord Jesus Christ’s Life, that He died upon The Cross for Your sins (His Crucifixion), He was Raised, Alive, by God Almighty’s Hand, on The Third Day (His Resurrection), and forty days after His Resurrection, Our Lord Jesus Christ, was taken on a Cloud into Heaven, Alive (His Ascension).  YOU must also admit, there is absolutely nothing YOU can do, to earn Your Way, into God’s Immediate Presence.  YOU must admit, that YOU are a sinner, but that YOU Repent (that’s turn away from sin, and back towards God Almighty), and ask God Almighty, for Forgiveness, for All of Your sin.  YOU must give Your Life, over to Our Lord Jesus Christ, placing Your Life and Your Faith, completely, in Our Lord Jesus Christ, giving Jesus Christ control over Your Life.  YOU must make God Almighty, Your First Priority.

If YOU Believe these things, in your heart, and YOU say a prayer to God Almighty, acknowledging them and asking for Forgiveness, YOU will be Saved, and YOU will Receive God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  YOU will Receive The Holy Spirit, and Our Lord Jesus Christ will come to Abide within YOU, through The Holy Spirit.  That’s right, Our Lord Jesus Christ, comes to Abide within YOU, meaning Jesus Christ is with YOU every single moment of every single day.  This alone, should be a deterrent NOT to sin, because if YOU do sin, who sees YOU, Our Lord Jesus Christ sees YOU.  But this also means, Jesus is with YOU, Always!  Jesus walks with YOU, He sits down beside YOU, and YOU can talk to Him, as easily, as YOU can talk to me.  Yes, God Almighty sees and knows everything!  God Almighty will begin to mold and change YOU, from the inside out.  Next, YOU should Follow Our Lord Jesus Christ, in obedience, through Believers Baptism.  Believers Baptism, is an outward expression of your inward decision.  Meaning, YOU have privately accepted Jesus Christ, as your Lord and Savior, and now YOU want to announce it, with a public display of Obedience, to the World.                              

Now, YOU are like a newborn baby, YOU must set aside the ways of the World, and learn the ways of God Almighty.  Our Lord Jesus Christ will teach YOU, through The Helper, The Holy Spirit.  YOU will learn about God Almighty’s Commandments and Statutes, and those from Our Lord Jesus Christ’s, as well.  YOU will begin setting time aside to commune (that’s pray) with God Almighty and Our Lord Jesus Christ.  YOU will begin reading God’s Word, The Holy Bible.  YOU will not only learn, by the words YOU read, but also, God Almighty will speak to your heart, as YOU read, revealing things He wants YOU to know, and revealing Himself, to YOU.  YOU will learn the importance of Fellowship, with other Believers, by attending a Bible Study or a Church, but hopefully both.  Fellowship with other Believers, helps YOU to learn more about God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit.  Fellowship with other Believers, brings each of Us, closer to God Almighty, because We can learn from each other, pray for each other, and strengthen each other, etc.  Remember, when YOU accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, YOU become a Follower of Our Lord Jesus Christ, His Disciple.  YOU are now, Jesus Christ’s Light upon The World.  As Jesus Christ’s Disciple, your task is to share The Gospel of Jesus Christ, to help people to understand, how much they need God Almighty in their Life, as YOU have come to understand.  The “Great Commission” simply means, sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ, to make more Disciples of Jesus Christ, for The Kingdom of God Almighty!  Your goal should be, that Jesus Christ’s Light shines so brightly, in YOU, that others see, Him, instead of YOU.  Also, and this is very important, YOU are to Give God Almighty, The Glory, for everything He does through YOU and for YOU, Always!  Meaning, when God Almighty answers your prayers or when good things happen, in your Life, Praise God, and give God The Glory, Always!  When YOU use your Spiritual Gifts, to Preach The Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Praise God, and give God The Glory, Always!  Our Lord Jesus Christ, through The Holy Spirit, will give YOU the words to say, and the things to do, at the time YOU need it, so don’t worry.  God Almighty has a specific Path, a path He Created, just for YOU to walk.  Will YOU always walk His Path, no, YOU will stray, but He will always guide YOU back, through The Holy Spirit.

Now, just because YOU accept God's Free Gift of Salvation, it does NOT mean, YOU will no longer sin.  Will YOU still sin, absolutely (it’s human nature, your sinful nature), but YOU will ask God Almighty for Forgiveness, and He will Forgive and Forget, each and every time.  When We acknowledge God's Amazing Saving Grace, and We accept God's Free Gift of Salvation, We willingly do God's Prepared Good Works, to further His Kingdom.  Remember, NO amount of Good Works, paves the way, nor earns Our way into Heaven (God's Immediate Presence).  Jesus Christ's death upon The Cross, and consequently, His Resurrection, paid Our sin debt, in FULL, for All (Jesus Christ died, Once for ALL). God Almighty requires a Blood Sacrifice for the Remission, the cleansing, of sin, and Jesus Christ paid this payment, with His Own Blood, upon The Cross, Once for ALL.

Welcome Believer, Brother or Sister, in Jesus Christ.  YOU are now, one of The Children of God Almighty.  What I have shared with YOU, is simply a taste, your beginning into a New Chapter of Your Life, and The Door to Eternal Life, in God’s Immediate Presence, for Eternity.  All my thoughts and prayers, go out to YOU, that YOU may Glorify God Almighty, and may YOU shine Jesus Christ’s Light upon the World, through The Holy Spirit.  May Our God Bless YOU, in His Mighty Way, today, and every day.  Amen.
