About Me

THE GOOD NEWS GOSPEL MESSAGE is the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ. To sum it up: A soul is not saved any other way, but through Jesus Christ alone. He is the only "Doorway" to Heaven. |||||||||||||////////////|||||||//////////|||||||/////////|| ||||||////////////|||||||| 1) Believe Jesus Christ is the "Son of God" and One with the Father and Holy Spirit (The Holy Trinity), that He is God, that He came in the flesh, died on the cross for your sins, and rose again from the grave, and will come again. 2)Accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord & Savior and invite Him into your heart & life. 3) Repent of your sins, and ask the Lord to cleanse you. Get baptized, as a statement of your faith. 4) Follow the Lord wherever He leads you -- and naturally, good works will result. |||||||||||||////////////|||||||//////////|||||||/////////|| ||||||////////////|||||||| Jesus's Gospel Message emphasizes helping the poor, the sick, ect. If one "builds their house" wisely on the solid rock of His words (Matthew 7:21-27), then one has to take all His words & statements very seriously, and be prepared for His second coming. |||||||||||||////////////|||||||//////////|||||||/////////|| ||||||////////////|||||||| Jesus was given out of God's love: JOHN 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but will have eternal life." John 14:6 shows that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and nobody comes to the Father God, but through Him. Because Jesus was perfectly obedient to His Father -- fully sinless, even within much temptation -- in His life and in His death, He was the ONLY worthy sacrifice for the world's sin, and ONLY resurrection & life over death & hell. He is the "Author of Salvation" and offers eternal life to all. |||||||||||||////////////|||||||//////////|||||||/////////|| ||||||////////////||||||||| Sin is sin, and is defined clearly in the Word of God. It is serious enough that God sent His only Son to the cross, and even forsake His Son while on that cross, to save sinners. Jesus taught to "Love the sinner, hate the sin." He taught a hyperbole to deal with your own sin as drastically as necessary (Matthew 5:29). The Book of Romans outlines three points well: A) We are all sinners. B) For sin, we deserve death and eternal punishment. C) Jesus is the only Savior for those sins, and offers deliverance, and eternal life. A)ROMANS 3:23 "For all have sinned, and fall short of the Glory of God." B)ROMANS 6:23 "The wages of sin is death..." C)ROMANS 10:9,10 "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." |||||||||||||////////////|||||||//////////|||||||/////////|| ||||||////////////||||||||| Even though I was trying to take a stand on the Forum for Christ, and many issues, I still sinned greatly. Through reading God's Word more in-depth, I am thankful I see full spiritual truth, and full righteousness in Christ. I repented before God and His people. I regret so many things, that seemed right at the time. Through life's stumbling, and hard lessons, I'm thankful for Christ's undeserved love & forgiveness. |||||||||||||////////////|||||||//////////|||||||/////////|| ||||||////////////||||||||| I'm embarking on an exciting study of the Scriptures, in depth and detail, from cover to cover. (Playing even one game of "Bible Trivia", I realize how much I still need to learn -- especially about the Old Testament). I pondered the stretched-out creation theory, but I stick to my original belief with the 6 days of creation in Genesis One. Though I like sharing new Bible verses and thoughts, my profile is simplified, and completed for good.

In The End

Here is a poem I wrote, and I wanted to include it here.  I hope it speaks to people.  The reality is, the Bible shows Jesus's love for you is deeper, farther, wider, purer, and truer than a...
