    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    Christians must Persevere......How do we accomplish this? The Bible solves this dilemma quite easily.... It asks the question—- “ Who is it that Perseveres?” The Bible gives us the answer — “ It is he that believes that Jesus is the Son Of God .” Simple, isn’t it ? The Problem is...

    What's the difference b/t a nice worldly person and a nice Christian?

    On the outside these two individuals may look Identical, but the difference between the two is what indwells them....The Christian is Saved and the Worldly Man is not......The Christian gets Saved NOT because he is “ nice”.......He gets Saved because he has the Holy Spirit in him .....if one...

    BB even got it right Lol.....this made my day! It just proves the old maxim , “ Even the Blind Hog finds an Acorn”. Lol.....I guess even a broken clock gets it right twice a day! Methinks ol’ BB gets a LOT more “ right” than you might realize.....Meanwhile, you certainly have the right to...

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    Your “ impression” is wrong......it could not be MORE wrong.... “ Repenting Of Sin” would have did nothing for Zacchaeus Salvation-Wise had it not lead to the Realization that he needed a Savior and then TURNED to that Savior—— it is that “ TURNING “ to God that is crucial ....it is THAT “...

    I excluded that.....I figured that exception would be too well known to this or any group of Christians ....too obvious to mention, in other words.....

    They are in Hell.Without hope. We Humans are Saved by Faith.....the Fallen Angels have SEEN God, Heaven and everything else there is to see.....one can not exhibit Faith if the object of that faith has been seen....

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    What is the matter with me? I fell in the shower last week and must have bumped my head... Btw.....how’s that “ sin no more” thingy working for ya? Some other things to consider......Nobody in the Bible “ Repented” more than God did....( nine times, give or take) If “ Repentance Of Sin”...

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    What are we to repent of if it is not sin? Unbelief in Jesus. Christ died for every sin that has ever been committed and every sin that ever will be committed.....Even Hitler’s and even Blood Bought’s Sins.....I am going to Heaven and Hitler is in Hell.....why ? Hitler did not “ cash in” on...

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    Remarkable ? For sure! It actually goes way beyond that——it’s “ AMAZING! “ ya ever hear the song, “ AMAZING GRACE ?”....it’s just like the sing says.....it ain’t fair.....get over it..... “ Abraham BELIEVED God , and it was Counted to him as Righteousness” Simply * BELIEVE *. the Gospel Of...

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    Even if a Believer is Unfaithful...... “ He REMAINS Faithful”..... You must be “ Born Again” to get to Heaven.....once that happens, it is impossible to be “ Unborn”.... Adam and Eve were Chastised for their sin.....just as we are....they were ejected from Paradise, not damned to Hell.Just like...

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    Notice, we have to repent for sin to make Christ's sacrifice meaningful and effective...so Christ DID NOT ATONE and 'PAY' for unrepentance of one's sins, of unbeliever If one has “ changed His or her mind” from Unbelief in Jesus to belief in the Gospel,they have done all the “ repenting” they...

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    Yes, we “ examine”.....we examine our Faith .....not our Performance....unless, of course , we are Self-Righteous and get our priorities backwards..

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. This is comparing those that Rest in Paul’s Gospel Of Pure Grace Found In 1Cor15:1-4 to those ancient Hebrews that had the Faith to enter the Promised Land .....Those...

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. (1 Corinthians 11:28-29 KJV) “ The Word “ unworthily” is an ADVERB .....it is NOT...

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? (2 Corinthians 13:5KJV) This “ examination” goes like this: “ No man can say ‘ Jesus is Lord’ Without having the Holy Spirit in Him”...

    Strange.I have-been a Christian for many years now.....not ONCE have I ever been concerned with “ Fruit Inspecting” I think it’s like this .....Legalists never know the True Joy That accompanies putting one’s Total Faith in Jesus and the FINISHED work of the Cross ......to some degree or other...

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    All religions require that you DO something to merit Salvation...you must “make” yourself “ Worthy “ to be fit for Heaven......Christianity says we are *MADE* Worthy by the Blood Of The Lamb......understanding that difference between that bad news and good news is the difference between Heaven...

    I am not saying that James was a Legalist.....I am saying Legalists twist the verses of His Book to justify Legalism.....

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    The Gospel is all about what a Merciful God did for Lost Sinners......NOT what Lost Sinners have done for God....
