 Jesus Loves You!! How you can be saved:

Step 1)  God loves you!!   
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16

The bible says that there is only one way to get into heaven, and it is through Jesus Christ.

How do you get into heaven? In the Bible Jesus said that "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." -John 3:3 Well, what is being "born again"? And how do we do that? ...Read on further to find out:

Step 2)  Acknowledge to God that you have sinned.
This may come as a shock to some but the prerequisite to becoming a true Christian is that we first must be a sinner! The Bible says that Jesus Christ died for the sinners and for the ungodly. Romans 5:6-8
I'm not saying that you should go out and commit a bunch of sin. I am only stressing the fact that in order for a person to truly be saved they must humble themselves and admit to God that they have sinned.

"But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble." -James 4:6

This is the first step. God already knows that we have broken His rules, He just wants us to admit it.

"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." -1 John 1:10

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" -Romans 3:23

If a person doesn't think that they have sinned and they call their self a Christian, then they are lying!

"If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:" -1John 1:6

It is not enough to be a "good" person!  Neither is it enough to join a denomination or a church! 

"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;" -Isaiah 64:6

Step 3)  Our sin has separated us from God. 
"23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." -Romans 6:23

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." -John 3:17

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8

Step 4)  Repent!
What do we do about this sin that has separated us from God?  We must repent! This means to turn to God with all of our heart, mind, and strength, and turn from the sinful lifestyle we were living in.
Then we put all of our trust in Him to save us!

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." -Acts 2:38

Step 5)  Believe and Receive!  
"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." -Mark 1:15

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" -John 1:12

"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." -Mark 16:16 

We also must believe the things that the bible says about Jesus.

"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." -John 7:38

This is what the scripture says:

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God born of a virgin. He suffered for us and died on a cross; shedding His blood to save us from our sins. Then after three days of being buried in a tomb, He came back to life because He is our God and savior. He physically rose from the grave. Then He ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty!

Step 6)  Pray! 
To accept Jesus as your personal savior, you can pray something like this:

Heavenly Father, I come before you in prayer acknowledging that I am a sinner. I confess to you that I am guilty. I am asking that you would please forgive me of all of my sins, and cleanse me from all unrighteousness.
I choose to believe in you now, and I repent and turn from my sin toward you with all of my heart. 
I believe that you love me and gave yourself for me on the cross so that I may be saved. 
I now accept what you did for me by suffering, shedding your blood, and dying on the cross. I believe you also rose from the grave to give me new life in you. 
I now believe in my heart that you do forgive me of all my sins, and I accept you Lord Jesus as my personal savior!  
Thank you Lord God for cleaning up my soul and for giving me eternal life through Jesus Christ your Son. Thank you for salvation! Thank you for your love! And, thank you for filling me with your precious Holy Spirit. 
In Jesus name I pray. Amen! 

Don't stop here. Now begin to develop a prayer life. Continue to pray to God all the time as much as you can now that you have started a new relationship with Him.  Also, you must begin reading the Holy Bible everyday so that your new spirit can begin to grow in Jesus Christ.

Another thing you can do is get baptized in a bible believing church.

Learn about communion and how to take it.

Forgive everyone who ever hurt you!

"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" -Matthew 6:14

Congratulations! And welcome to the true family of God! If you just accepted Jesus Christ by praying this prayer, you may email me if you want and let me know about it here:   WoTmin@gmail.com

How you can be saved

Today I added a new page entitled: "Jesus Loves You!! How you can be saved."

This new page is what this blog is all about.  To find it, just look on the right side under the "Pages" section for this title. I also added it right after this post, just above.

It will bless you!

New blog "quotes" feature added today!

Today I added a new feature to this WordofTruth blog!  A quotes section near the top of the page gives you a profound Christian quote every time you refresh the page!  The quotes are taken from various prominent Christian leaders and preachers, and a scripture from the bible.

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16

Want to become a genius? ...Then follow Jesus!

I notice that when people begin looking to God for answers, He gives it to them!  It's amazing how following hard after Jesus can expand your brain!  

The skeptics will try to say that Christians are narrow minded, but I think it's the other way around. When you follow Christ, He opens your heart and mind to new found wisdom and truth so that you could see a larger perspective of things.

He gives you insight, wisdom, revelation, knowledge, discernment, and over all cranial expanse! 

He is the creator. He made the brain. And therefore He knows more about the way humans think. So when we trust in Him for everything, He gives it to us.

When I worship God I can almost literally feel the oxygen shooting to my brain cells! Hallelujah!

I am so glad that He saved me!  I am so glad that I now know Him and have Him in my life as my savior, friend and God.  He is not boring like some dumb religion! He is a personable God who relates to us! He is real, and makes Himself known to those who are looking for Him!

Philipians 4:8

"8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." -Philipians 4:8

Oil Spill

I live in Arizona far away from the gulf of Mexico. So it can seem as though that big oil spill doesn't effect those of us who are farther away. But, we can see it on the news. It is a part of our country.

What I am trying to say is, that my heart really sinks when I see those fellow Americans of mine over there on the coast being confronted and attacked by the rich uncaring oil companies.

It makes me angry to see that companies from another country could destroy our land without a concern while American citizens lives are ruined!

We don't normally even think of our fellow citizens in another part of the country until something bad happens to them. It makes me want to support them, fight for them, pray for them, stand up for them, love them!

I am making this post because I care about those Americans in this horrible situation. I think the rest of us wish that somehow all this negativity down there would just go away. But that is not the reality. Ignoring the problems is not responsible.

I hope the US government places a large fine against the companies that are guilty of destroying the gulf coast! They say that BP makes a profit of 66 million USD per day! That is disgustingly shocking in the light of their lazy uncaring cover up attitude that they have towards the damage they have caused!

The bottom line is,... they don't care!

The American tax payer does not need to pay for this! The American tax payers need to take ownership of BP!

To all those who live in that region and are being directly affected by this spill I want to say that my heart goes out to you! I wish there was something I could do to stop the oil. I pray to God that He will take care of your personal and local economy. I pray that He interrupts this demonic attack against our land. I pray that you could feel the love coming from Americans in other parts of the country, who love you and support you through this tragedy! I pray that through this horror that God will turn it all around for your good. I pray that somehow good will come out of this. With God all things are possible.

I know there are many churches and Christians gathered together to seek the Lord down there. I want you to know that I stand in agreement with your prayers. I believe that Americans from far away places in this land will rise up and join together with you to fight this evil! And I do believe that God Almighty hears the prayers of His people! I believe that He will do something to fix this big problem. There is nothing too big for God to handle! May God bless everyone who lives in the gulf coast!
