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."

No other Christian ministry is pointing out that this crisis is partially fulfilling Daniel 7:7-8. 

Because you advocate the illegal right for the Israelis to proceed with the destruction of Gaza and the Palestinians you cannot classify yourself as a Christian ministry. That statement is a joke. You are not Christians but Christian Zionists.  I curse Israel and I curse fake ministries such as yours for supporting the Israeli terrorists. Murders and butchers one and all.

Accordingly, there is a good reason why no other so-called Christian ministry advocating the border crisis in the United States is fulfilling the prophecy of Daniel 7:7-8 because to suggest that is the case is false and misleading. But what blowhard/braggarts you people are to believe you are doing something out of the ordinary for the good of everyone and then boasting about something that does not exist?

Christian Zionists are a group of Christians who believe that the Jewish people have a right to return to Israel, based on the biblical promise made by God to Abraham. They also believe that the establishment of Israel in 1948 and the gathering of Jews in their homeland are signs of the end times when Jesus Christ will come back to earth.

According to some Christian Zionists, before Christ's return, there will be a rapture, a sudden event in which true believers will be taken to heaven, leaving behind those who are not saved. The rapture is followed by a period of tribulation when the Antichrist will rise and persecute the Jews and the Christians who remain on earth. Christian Zionists support Israel politically and financially, hoping to hasten the fulfilment of biblical prophecy and the second coming of Christ.

Many people believe that two separate events will happen at the end of the age: the Day of the Lord and the Rapture of the Church. However, this is a misunderstanding of the biblical prophecies. The Bible teaches that there is only one event that will mark the culmination of God's plan for history: the Day of the Lord. The Day of the Lord is the day when Christ will return in glory, judge the living and the dead, and establish his kingdom on earth. The Rapture of the Church is not a distinct event, but a part of the Day of the Lord. It is the moment when Christ will gather his faithful followers to himself, both those who are alive and those who have died, and transform them into his glorious image. The Rapture of the Church will happen at the same time as the resurrection of the righteous and the destruction of the wicked. Therefore, there is no need to speculate about two different events or two different timelines. There is only one event and one timeline: the Day of the Lord.

The rapture is a belief held by Christian Zionists about the end of the world and two separate events. According to this belief, Jesus Christ will return to earth and take his faithful followers with him to heaven, leaving behind those who do not believe in him. The term 'rapture' is derived from the Latin verb 'rapere', meaning 'to carry off' or 'to catch up'.

Although the rapture is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, some verses are interpreted to support it. One such verse is 1 Thessalonians 4:17, which states that "we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air". However, there is no mention of a Rapture in that particular verse. On the contrary, that verse is headed with the Day Of the Lord. Similarly, Matthew 24:40-41 says that "two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left." Though there is no reference to rapture in any of these verses, they are often cited in support of the belief.

There are different views on when the rapture will occur and how it relates to other events in biblical prophecy, such as the tribulation, the second coming of Christ, and the millennium. Some believe that the rapture will happen before the tribulation, while others believe it will occur during or after it. Some also view the rapture and the second coming as the same event, while others see them as distinct. In contrast, some interpret the Bible as having no reference to a rapture.

The rapture is a topic of controversy and debate among Christians. Some see it as a source of hope and comfort, while others view it as a false doctrine or a distraction from social justice. Some also criticize it as a recent invention that lacks a historical or biblical basis. The rapture was popularized by John Nelson Darby, a 19th-century British preacher who divided history into seven dispensations or periods of God's dealings with humanity. He also influenced the Scofield Reference Bible, which added notes supporting his views. The rapture became more widely known through books, movies, and TV shows, such as the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.
