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 International Criminal Court Prosecutor's Office has requested arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence chief Yoav Gallant, as well as for three Hamas leaders: Yahya Sinwar, Mohamed Deif, and Ismail Haniyeh.

The warrants are for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during and since the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7th last year, which resulted in the deaths of about 1,140 Israelis.

The charges against Netanyahu and Gallant include "causing extermination, causing starvation as a method of war, including the denial of humanitarian aid" as stated by the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor. 

The ICC is seeking an arrest warrant for Gallant in connection with the same allegations as Netanyahu, alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the occupied Palestinian territories.

This development is significant and indicates that legal action is being taken against these individuals.

These arrest warrants are part of the ICC's efforts to address alleged crimes committed in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is important to note that the ICC's jurisdiction and the issuance of arrest warrants can be subject to various legal and political considerations and may take months to implement.

In the meantime any of the accused (the accursed) can freely travel to wherever they like, until the arrest warrants are approved. After that, they can and will be arrested.

Israel’s bombardment and ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, which has continued for more than seven months since that attack, has killed more than 35,000 people, mostly women and children, with thousands more lost and feared dead under the rubble.

In his statement, Khan praised the panel of experts he had convened to review the evidence and provide legal analysis to support these arrest warrants. He said its members have “immense standing in international humanitarian law and international criminal law”.

In an article for the Financial Times, the panel of experts collectively wrote that this is not the first time an international prosecutor has convened such a panel to seek advice regarding conflict and that it is not unusual for a prosecutor to invite external experts to participate in an evidence review.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has 127 member nations, but Israel and the United States are not members. Once warrants are issued, the five individuals mentioned will be subject to arrest if they travel to any of the 127 member territories. They can also be brought to trial at The Hague at any time.
