How to be saved from hell



All humans are born with a
sinful nature and unless we are born again of the Spirit of God we
cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. We are born selfish and sinful.
Even the smallest little child is selfish and they have tantrums,
they want things their way and they will do anything to have their
way. We are born with a sinful nature and we live our lives for our
own selfish desires and therefore we sin. Even a toddler lies when
you catch him with his hand in the cookie jar or when he does
something that he knows is wrong, that is sin.
We need to be born again
to become children of God, and only Jesus Christ can give us that new
birth, that new nature. Only Jesus Christ can save us from sin, but
then we have to turn away from our own selfish evil ways and we have
to live according to His ways, according to His commands. We have to
repent from going after our own selfish desires and doing things our
way for our own pleasure and benefit, and we have to live the Jesus
way. We have to repent of sin and obey the commands of Jesus Christ,
to be born again to become a child of God. We have to decide to turn
away from our own ways we have to accept the Jesus way, to be saved
from sin. And if we bow our knees before Jesus and we accept Him, we
accept His way,then he changes us, He makes us new inside. If we
repent of our sins, from our heart, with remorse, with a commitment
not to turn back to our selfish lifestyle, but to live the Jesus way,
then He makes us new inside and then we have to obey Him.
We have to be baptized in
water as He commanded and Jesus promised to give His Spirit in us to
guide us and to teach us. We have to build our relationship with
Jesus, by first obeying His commands, by accepting His way, by
accepting Him, the person Jesus Christ. It is not sufficient to
believe in Jesus for salvation. You have to obey His words, you have
to bow down before Him, cry out to Him and then you will get to know
Him for real. Only Jesus Christ can save from sin. Only Jesus Christ
and save from hell. The whole world is in the power of darkness, in
the power of the evil one. People cannot do what they want to do,
they are slaves to sin. They say they cannot stop sinning, they are
addicted to certain things because they are bound by satan, but if
you submit yourself to Jesus and you accept Him as your master then
He makes you free from sin. He sets you free and whomever the Son of
God has set free, will be free indeed. You will be free from the
bondage of sin. It does not mean that you will not be tempted. You
will be tempted because the evil one wants you to fail, he wants you
to end up in hell, but you have to fight him off. You have to
constantly reject evil, constantly reject satan and go after Jesus,
live according to His words. Live in obedience to His Holy Spirit.
Without Jesus we can do nothing, because only Jesus can save. It's
not a church, it's not a book, it's not a philosophy, it is not a
series of steps that you take to get saved, it is about following
Jesus Christ; about submitting yourself to Him and deciding to go
after Him, to live His way until the end of your life, and then you
will be saved. But if you go away from Jesus, if you turn back to
your own evil ways, your selfish ways, then you will perish, unless
you repent and go back to Jesus before you die, before it is too
late.
There is only one who can
save from sin and from hell and that is Jesus Christ. If you do not
repent and if you do not follow and obey Jesus Christ until the end
of your life, and if you do not live your life to please Him, you
will end up in hell. You can only be saved if you go after Jesus and
if you follow Him until the very end. it is all about our personal
relationship with the living Lord Jesus Christ. Those who serve and
obey Him become part of His kingdom. They serve Him as Lord and
Master. Many believe that they are saved, but they still live in sin.
They still do sin, they still live their lives to please themselves.
They are selfishly ambitious and they do not care for Jesus or the
kingdom of God. They are on their way to hell. There's only one way
to enter the kingdom of heaven and that is the narrow way, the Jesus
way to obey and follow Him until the very end. Only Jesus can save
you, but you have to call out to Him. You have to be serious about
following Him and stay serious until the very end. Your church, your
Bible study, the Christian books that you read, your preacher, nobody
else can save you, only Jesus Christ. It is about your real
relationship with Him, knowing Him, listening to Him, following Him,
and then, if you endure with Jesus until the very end, you will be
saved.
There is no other way,
Jesus Christ is the way and the truth and the life. If you want to be
saved, if you want eternal life, go after Jesus. Turn away from your
own ways and follow Jesus Christ every day until the very end. If we
seek Him, we find Him. If we draw closer to Him, He draws closer to
us. If we obey Him, He reveals Himself to us, and we get to know Him
for real. Do you know Jesus, and does He know you? Jesus will say to
many people in that day that they die:" Go away I never knew
you, you workers of wickedness." Many of them preachers, many of
them people that believed that they were saved, but they never knew
the Savior, they never followed and obeyed Jesus Christ. They lived
for themselves, they did not live for the kingdom of God, they did
not obey the King and therefore they will not enter His kingdom. Are
you being saved? Are you following Jesus Christ every day?
May Jesus bless you.
