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."

A Jewish Scroll

1. **Nature of the Incident**: A synagogue in Melbourne was set on fire in what authorities are treating as a **deliberate arson attack**. This occurred early on Friday, December 6, 2024.

2. **Response from Authorities**: The federal joint counter-terrorism task force has been called in to assist with the investigation. Police were actively patrolling the area following the incident.

3. **Community Impact**: The attack has been widely condemned by political and religious leaders. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed his dismay, emphasising the importance of protecting the Jewish community, which includes many Holocaust survivors.

4. **Additional Incidents**: Following the synagogue attack, there was a related incident where a man was removed by police from a nearby Jewish bakery after he was reported to be wielding a hammer and verbally abusing community members.

This attack has raised concerns about safety and security within the Jewish community in Victoria, Australia, while authorities are working diligently to address these issues.

The Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan visited the site of the bombing and pledged $100,000 for the rebuilding efforts. However, her announcement was met with heckles from those in attendance.

Many feel this government is wasteful, particularly as the state is burdened with nearly $200 billion in debt for infrastructure projects. They argue that taxpayers' money is being squandered. Furthermore, if a Pentecostal church had been firebombed, the government likely would not have provided any funds for its reconstruction.

What this firebombing indicates is the intense hatred the community has for Judaism and all its affiliates. Millions of dollars' worth of religious books related to the Torah were destroyed.
