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."

In a recent development, a New York jury has found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. This is the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime. The jury deliberated for 9½ hours to reach this verdict, in what is described as a historic case.

After the Trump verdict, most Republicans, such as the Cutting Edge Ministries, say they're okay with having a criminal as president. It will now be a case of how the American people view the respective criminals running for the presidency and who is the lesser scoundrel of the two—either the playboy clown or the senile old man who reads everything from a teleprompter.

Donald Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention. The penalties he faces range from a fine to up to four years in prison on each count. However, it is anticipated that he would likely be sentenced for the offences concurrently rather than consecutively.

Former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict may indeed be hurting him in the polls, according to data published Wednesday. In a redo of a recent New York Times/Sienna College poll, Trump’s three-point edge over President Joe Biden before the jury rendered its verdict shrank to just one point when respondents were quizzed after the decision.

It is quite rare that out of a nation of well over 350 million American politics has resorted to these two. What has gone wrong with the USA?

The current political situation in the USA has been influenced by several factors. Here are some reasons based on real-time information:

  1. Partisan Fighting: Overwhelming majorities in both parties believe there is too much partisan fighting, which can lead to gridlock and hinder progress.

  2. Campaign Costs: Many Americans feel that campaigns cost too much, leading to concerns about the influence of money in politics.

  3. Lobbyists and Special Interests: The influence of lobbyists and special interests in shaping policies and decisions has raised concerns about the fairness and transparency of the political process.

  4. Negative Views: Americans hold unrelentingly negative views of politics and elected officials, with little hope for improvement in the near future.

  5. Challenging Problems: The country faces significant challenges such as climate change, immigration, inequality, gun control, debt, and deficits. The perceived inability of government and politicians to effectively address these issues contributes to the current political climate.

These factors have contributed to a sense of frustration and disillusionment among many Americans regarding the state of politics in the USA. Recognizing these challenges is the first step towards addressing them and working towards a more constructive and inclusive political environment.

There is no doubt that if Trump is reelected, the world will have far less security than it does now. The entire time he was previously in power, I felt anxious about his potential actions. The situation remains unchanged. Consequently, there will still be those who see Trump as a savior (such as the Cutting Edge Ministries) because of his false promise of economic prosperity and will vote based on their own financial interests.

Blessings
