How To Be Saved

How To Be Saved Many people wonder how they can be saved from the consequences of their sins and have eternal life. The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned by human efforts or merits. Salvation is based on God's grace and mercy, which He offers to anyone who believes in His Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again from the dead, proving His power over sin and death. Anyone who confesses their sins, repents of their wrongdoings, and trusts in Jesus Christ as their only way to God will be saved. Salvation is not a one-time event, but a lifelong relationship with God that involves obedience, growth, and service. To be saved, one must follow the steps below: 1. Recognize that you are a sinner and that you need God's forgiveness. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 2. Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again from the dead. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." 3. Repent of your sins and turn away from your old way of living. Acts 3:19 says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." 4. Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by faith. Romans 10:9 says, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." 5. Confess your faith in Jesus Christ publicly and join a local church where you can grow in your knowledge and love of God. Matthew 10:32 says, "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven."

Revelation 13:16-18 reads as follows:

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six,

Revelation 13:16-18 states that a time will come when all people, regardless of their social status, will be required to receive a mark on their right hand or forehead. Without this mark, they will not be able to buy or sell goods and services. This mark is believed to represent allegiance to the Antichrist, also known as the "beast". The number 666 is said to be associated with the beast's name. This passage is often interpreted as a warning about the rise of a powerful global authority

The timing for the arrival of the Mark of the Beast is not quite right. The Antichrist must sign the covenant of Daniel before we see the Mark and cash has to be gone completely.

According to the Bible, the Mark of the Beast will occur during the tribulation period, which is an unprecedented time of suffering since God will be pouring out His wrath upon an unbelieving, disrespectful and Christ rejecting world.

One interpretation says the Mark of the Beast occurs at the middle of the tribulation period. Since the tribulation is a seven year period, the mark of the beast will be required at the half way mark or 3.5 years into the tribulation but that analogy is open to debate.

There is a push to rid the world economy of cash and move towards digital banking, something I am resisting However, the Reserve Bank of Australia has stated that cash will continue to play an important role in the economy for the foreseeable future. This could be due to the reported flaws in the current banking and internet system, which is often inefficient and prone to failure.
