@Heart2Soul The Lord knows the heart; Hebrews 11.6 is a good reference:
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
Those who diligently SEEK HIM . Not some idea , BUT HIM . We quickly forget , marvel not no man can come to me lest the father draw him .
I dont care if a person lived on a ten , ninety wage . WHich means they kept only ten percent of what they made and gave the other ninety percent away to those who lacked .
I dont care if a person who did that , ALSO ran into a burning building , pulled every one to safety , gave his life for them ,
IF THEY DONT CONFESS and PROFESS and FOLLOW JESUS , their end is a lake filled full of the most dreadsome fire .
I know this sounds harsh .
But allow me a few words .
I have come to the all out , total persuasion of mind , THAT JESUS ALONE SAVES and to be saved , WE MUST BELIEVE IN HIM .
ALL ELSE IS VAIN and comes not from GOD . FAITH IN JESUS . And all is by the grace of GOD .
I truly have no one i can trust in , not even myself . BUT I SURE CAN TRUST IN GOD . IN JESUS ALONE FOR THE MEANS OF SALVATION .
SO on that note i would like to add this as well . TIME TO PRAISE THE GLORIOUS LORD . YES IT IS .
