For all you regular (and irregular) churchgoers out there, this question is for you. With issues such as divorce, teen pregnancy, and other things considered “ungodly” in the Christian world yet have become permanent fixtures on the American Christian landscape, why should one consider becoming a Christian?
Better yet, why continue to go to church?
FAITH
My answer is for dose who believe in God and the bible.
1. Ever one is a sinner Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
2.2. Because you are a sinner you are condemned to death : Romans 6:12 A
23 For the wages of sin is death and Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: and Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
3. God love you John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
That why you should be come a Christian.
I don’t think you should become a christian…. CHRISTIAN is just a title for a religion and God is not comming back for a religion he is comming back for a prepaired people… NOT just a prepaired CHRISTIAN PEOPLE but people that are living as he required us to live. He is comming back for A church without spot or wrinkle. So if you are christian, baptist, COGIC, whatever your church calls itself is ok because God is comming for just ONE church and all who follow his word is included in the church.
God Bless
The previous comments don’t appear (to me) to be much of an endorsement for someone who is a non-believer! While quoting Romans, it should be noted that sinners (and everyone else) dies… eventually!
Aren’t we all sinners?!? Isn’t that why Jesus died?
Every one that believe in God is not a Christian so Iwas talking to them.
Unsaved sinners go to the lake of fire “hell”Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
.
Christian go to Heaven
“Aren’t we all sinners?!?
Isn’t that why Jesus died?”
Yes, but: John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that (whosoever believeth) in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved
Here is the hole thing in a nutshell:
God’s Simple Plan of Salvation
My Friend: I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?
God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be born again.â€Â
In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How?
First, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God†(Romans 3:23).
Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death†(Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell.
“ . . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment†(Hebrews 9:27).
But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. “ . . . He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him†(2 Corinthians 5:21).
Jesus had to shed His blood and die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood†(Lev. 17:11). “ . . . without shedding of blood is no remission [pardon]†(Hebrews 9:22).
“ . . . God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us†(Romans 5:8).
Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie.
My friend, “God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent†(Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.
In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “ . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved . . . .’ â€Â
Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior.
“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name†(John 1:12).
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.†(Romans 10:13).
Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved.
Surely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.
In Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: “God be merciful to me a sinner.†Just pray: “Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.â€Â
Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!
God’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.
You say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.†Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God’s plan. My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today.
If His plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without laying it down, until you understand it. Your soul is worth more than all the world.
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?†(Mark 8:36).
Be sure you are saved. If you lose your soul, you miss Heaven and lose all. Please! Let God save you this very moment.
God’s power will save you, keep you saved, and enable you to live a victorious Christian life. “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it†(1 Corinthians 10:13).
Do not trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God’s promises. They never change. After you are saved, there are three things to practice daily for spiritual growth:
Pray — you talk to God.
Read your Bible — God talks to you.
Witness — you talk for God.
You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as a public testimony of your salvation, and then unite with a Bible-believing church without delay. “Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord . . . .†(2 Timothy 1:8)
“Whosoever therefore shall confess [testify of] Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in heaven†(Matthew 10:32).
GOD IS NOT A MURDERER
GOD IS PEACE NOT WAR AND DAMNATION SO WHY SUBJECT PEOPLE TO AN EMPTY BELIEF(NOT FACT BELIEF) IN A HELL THAT NO LIVING PERSON CAN REALLY KNOW ABOUT
Brian I Take it that you never read the bible.
Every point I posted was backup from the bible.
Ref #11. Reverend, this is YOUR interpretation of the Bible.
My Christian God doesn’t condemn Muslims or the unbaptised babies who die (unsaved?) to hell. Strict fundimentalists of whatever religion are so far out of the mainstream that they have made themselves irrelevant.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward,
not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.that did not come out right
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness;
Got loves every one.
But because of his Righteousness He can not let sin into his home.
Just to maintain santity in an insane world!
Its all a farce…
