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."

The concept of a chosen people by God is a delicate and intricate issue. Some people hold the view that Jews are the chosen ones by God, while others contest this claim. It’s essential to keep in mind that God values everyone equally, no matter their racial or ethnic background. The Scripture says “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus”. Hence, it’s not suitable to imply that Gentiles are less than Jews. Rather, we should appreciate our diversity and respect our differences.

That is why I find it to be incredibly offensive for Cutting Edge Ministries to call the Jews who occupy Israel God’s chosen people. That insinuates that Gentiles are not chosen by God or are inferior to Jews. I was a Gentile before I became a Born Again Christian, but after I was saved I became one of God’s chosen people while I remain a Gentile. Only a Jew would consider themselves as one of God’s chosen when most Jews are not saved.

Despite that fact after the atrocities that have been committed by Israel in Gaza global antisemitism has risen over 800%. And Benjamin Netanyahu and his team of thugs have made the greatest mistake of their lives if they believe the genocide they are committing in Gaza will remain unpunished. God does not make mistakes, only men make mistakes. This is a fundamental truth that we must accept and live by. God is perfect and infallible, and His will is always good and righteous. Men, on the other hand, are imperfect and fallible, and their will is often corrupted and sinful. Men make mistakes because they have free will, and they can choose to disobey God or follow their own desires.

But God never makes mistakes, because He knows everything and He always acts according to His plan and purpose. Therefore, we should not blame God for the problems and evils in the world, but rather acknowledge our own responsibility and accountability. We should also not question God's wisdom or justice, but rather trust His sovereignty and grace. God does not make mistakes, only men make mistakes. This is a statement of faith and humility that we should affirm and practice every day.

Blessings
