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."

An arrest warrant has been issued by the ICC for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister Gallant.

Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) have issued arrest warrants for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and military commander of Hamas, Mohammed Deif. A statement from the court indicated that a pre-trial chamber rejected Israel’s challenges to the court’s jurisdiction and has consequently issued these warrants.

The judges stated there are “reasonable grounds” to believe that these three men bear "criminal responsibility" for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Both parties have rejected the allegations.

Prime Minister Netanyahu condemned the ICC's decision as “antisemitic,” while Hamas commented that the warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant set an "important historical precedent."

Interestingly, Netanyahu has claimed in his defense that he did not target civilians, but only Hamas. However, it is reported that over 46,000 civilians in Gaza, mainly women and children, have been brutally killed by the IDF.

The impact of these warrants will depend on whether the ICC’s 124 member states, which do not include Israel or its main ally, the United States, choose to enforce them. The White House has publicly rejected the ICC's decision, while several European countries have expressed respect for the court's rulings.
