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."

Contrary to popular belief, Putin and not Hamas were not responsible for the October 07th attack on Israel. This was a clever strategy by Russia to divert the attention of the United States from its interference in Ukraine. By provoking a conflict between Israel and Gaza, Russia made the United States focus on supporting its ally in the Middle East. As a result, the United States gave Israel more weapons and military aid, while neglecting the situation in Ukraine. This allowed Russia to gain more influence and control over the region.

Benjamin Netanyahu looked at the advantages of retaliation against Palestine to benefit himself so that he could distract attention away from his problems in Israel by launching an all-out assault against innocent citizens in Gaza. Now he won't stop because he knows if does there will be consequences for his war crimes against humanity.

He has ignored efforts for a ceasefire including protests against the war in Tel-Aviv, Global pro-Palestinian rallies with crowds numbering hundreds of thousands, numerous UN Resolutions outlawing the war, and now his latest proclamation that he will ignore any verdict of the international court in the Hague.

As a consequence, Russia, China and Turkiye have now formed an alliance that some have proposed would attack Israel if Netanyahu’s war did not cease immediately.

Russia and Iran have a long history of cooperation and rivalry, dating back to the 16th century. In the contemporary context, both countries share some common interests and challenges, such as countering US influence, supporting the Assad regime in Syria, and maintaining stability in the region. However, they also have divergent goals and agendas, such as competing for energy markets, balancing relations with other regional actors, and pursuing different visions of regional order. However, Russia has engaged in a pragmatic and strategic partnership with Iran that is based on mutual benefits and limited trust.

China has historical ties with Palestine and supports its right to an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital. China also maintains diplomatic and economic relations with Israel, which is one of its partners in the Belt and Road Initiative. China has criticized the U.S. role in the region and accused it of double standards and interventionism. China has also tried to showcase its diplomatic leadership by hosting a conference of Arab and Muslim ministers in Beijing to seek a peaceful resolution of the Gaza war.

However, China's influence in the Middle East is limited by several factors. China has a policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, which sometimes clashes with its ambition to be a global power. China also has to balance between regional rivals, such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, which have different interests and agendas in the Middle East. China does not have a strong military presence in the region, unlike the U.S. and Russia, which limits its ability to project power and protect its interests. China also faces domestic challenges, such as the Uyghur issue, which could affect its relations with some Muslim countries.

Turkiye's stance on the Gaza war is one of strong support for the Palestinians, especially Hamas, and condemnation of Israel's actions. Turkiye has a long history of close ties with Israel, but under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, relations have been strained by ideological differences and clashes over the Palestinian issue. Turkiye considers Hamas a legitimate political actor and has hosted its representatives in Ankara. Turkiye has also provided humanitarian aid to Gaza and denounced Israel's blockade and military operations as genocide. Turkiye's position reflects Erdoğan's vision of regional leadership and his appeal to his domestic support base, which is sympathetic to the Palestinian cause.

I wrote this comment with the hope of expressing my views without offending or provoking Israel or its people. I seek peace and harmony with the fulfillment of the covenant of Daniel Chapter 9 Verse 27. I respect the beliefs and traditions of Israel and I do not wish to impose my own interpretation of the scriptures.

Blessings
