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 First Heaven is a place of mystery that I have never visited. Therefore, I cannot tell you exactly where it is or what it looks like. However, I can share some general information about the Three Heavens. The First Heaven is said to be the lowest of the three Heavens and the closest to the Earth. It is also the home of the angels and the souls of righteous people who have passed away. The first Heaven has a beautiful garden with rivers and trees. The first Heaven is beyond our physical realm and is a spiritual state of peace and joy.

The second Heaven is the universe. A vast and amazing place, full of wonders and mysteries. The second Heaven is the realm where we can explore outer space among the stars, the sun and the moon. We don't need any spaceship or rocket: we just need our imagination. By thinking about a place, we can instantly travel there and see the beauty and diversity of creation. The second Heaven is a gift for us to enjoy and learn from.

The Third Heaven is where God's throne is and where Jesus ascended after His resurrection. The Bible also promises that those who believe in Jesus will live with Him in a new Heaven and new earth, where there will be no more sin, sorrow, or death. Heaven is a place of joy, peace, and love, where we will see God face to face and worship Him forever.

The journey to God's presence is not a simple one. There are three levels of Heaven, and we must ascend through them one by one. The Third Heaven is where God and His angels are. Only the purest and most faithful souls can reach the third Heaven and see God face to face.

Upon death, we enter a tunnel and reach the presence of the Lord who decides whether we can enter or not. We do not meet the Lord in the clouds before death or meet the Lord in the air. This is called a Rapture. However, the Bible does not teach this. The Bible teaches that we will be resurrected from the dead at the end of the age and reign with Christ on the earth. Dispensationalism is a human invention that is based on speculation and imagination, not on sound biblical interpretation.

Dispensationalism is a theological framework that views history as divided into distinct periods in which God interacts with mankind in a specific way. Each of these periods is defined as a specific dispensation. Dispensationalists use a literal interpretation of the Bible and believe that there is a distinction between Israel and the Church, and that Christians are bound by Mosaic law.

They also hold beliefs in premillennialism, Christian Zionism, and a pre, mid or post -tribulation rapture of the Church.

Dispensationalism originated in the 19th century in the teaching of John Nelson Darby and was popularized in the United States through the Scofield Reference Bible and Dallas Theological Seminary. Dispensationalism differs from covenant theology, which affirms that there is one people of God and continuity between the Old and New Testaments.

The Mosaic Law is the name given to the set of rules and regulations that God gave to Moses on Mount Sinai, as recorded in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Torah or the Pentateuch. The Mosaic Law covers various aspects of life, such as moral, ceremonial, civil, and dietary laws. The most famous part of the Mosaic Law is the Ten Commandments, which summarize the basic principles of God's relationship with his people and their relationship with each other. The Mosaic Law was intended to guide the Israelites as God's chosen people, to set them apart from other nations, and to prepare them for the coming of the Messiah. The Mosaic Law also reveals God's holy and righteous character, as well as human sinfulness and need for forgiveness.

Covenant theology is a way of understanding the Bible that focuses on the concept of a covenant, which is a solemn agreement between God and His people. Covenant theology sees the Bible as one unified story of God's grace and faithfulness to His covenant partners, from creation to the end of history. Covenant theology identifies three main covenants in the Bible: the covenant of redemption, the covenant of works, and the covenant of grace. The covenant of redemption is the eternal plan of God to save His elect people through the work of Christ. The covenant of works is the agreement between God and Adam in the garden of Eden, where Adam was required to obey God perfectly or face death. The covenant of grace is the promise of God to save sinners by grace through faith in Christ, who fulfilled the covenant of works on behalf of His people. Covenant theology helps Christians to see how all the parts of the Bible fit together and point to Christ, who is the mediator and fulfiller of all God's covenants.
