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."

Arthritis is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in the joints. It can affect one or multiple joints and can lead to stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion. There are different types of arthritis, with the two most common being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis: This is the most common type of arthritis and occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. It commonly affects the hips, knees, hands, and spine.

Rheumatoid arthritis: This is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, leading to inflammation, pain, and eventually joint damage. It often affects the hands, wrists, and knees.

Other types of arthritis include gout, lupus arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis. Symptoms of arthritis can vary but often include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion. Treatment for arthritis aims to reduce pain, improve joint function, and prevent further joint damage. This can include medications, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery.

As a word of testimony, I was pressure washing the driveway a few weeks ago when I had a terrible fall and landed on concrete edging on the left-hand side of my body. The resultant bruise was big, black, and enormous. I can hear some of my friends saying "serve yourself right".

Before the fall, I had mild arthritis in the hip region on that side, which had begun to spread to the other leg. I could not walk without feeling pain in that region. I went to the doctor, who sent me for X-rays and referred me to the hospital. The hospital said the swelling was not bad enough to warrant a procedure. However, miraculously, after the fall, the arthritis was gone, and I can now walk pain-free. This was achieved with no thanks to the quack doctors who overcharged me for a steroid injection that did not work.

I call this fall an act of God that freed me from all associated pain related to arthritis. Praise the Lord.

Blessings
