New World Clocks & Counters page on blog!
Today I added a new feature page on the WordofTruth blog. It's called "World Clocks & Counters." It's pretty cool, so go check it out. On the main page scroll down and look on the right until you see a section titled "Pages." Then look for a link there that says "World Clocks & Counters." ...Enjoy!
How saved are you?
Can you get any more saved than you already are?
This question is for those who already consider their selves saved or are "trying" to get saved. They go to church and do everything that Christians are supposed to do.
I know that a lot of churches have membership cards for people to fill out that will have a check box for them to indicate whether they have accepted Jesus as savior.
But it's not checking the box that saves us. It's not becoming a member of the church that saves us. Or by joining a denomination, ...no!
Nowhere in the bible does it say that we have to join a denomination or a church membership in order to become a child of God.
Of course I'm not saying that you can't do these things. But sometimes people can do these church things without really becoming Born Again! So they become deceived into thinking they're saved without ever truly becoming born again like the scriptures tell us we need to be. This is called "religion." And religion without God in it is worthless.
I'm just clearing up some of the cloudy ways of thinking that seem to deceive people into "trying" to get saved.
The bible says:
"9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." -Romans 10:9,10 ...and...
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin" -1 John 1:7 ...and...
"10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." -1 John 1:10
So, if we are washed in the Blood of Jesus, then we are saved. We don't have to join anything else to become "more" saved. We trust in God alone through His Son Jesus Christ for our total and complete salvation. We don't have to try to hang on to the coat tails of the pastor or a priest to hope that our association with them somehow will make us closer to God. No! Only our one-on-one direct connection by faith through grace alone is all we need! We can have direct communication with God on an individual basis through Jesus Christ alone! This is a personal relationship with God, and it is called being born again!
Jesus said, "...Ye must be born again." -John 3:7
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber." -John 10:1
"9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." -John 10:9,10
