With God all things are possible

| Many preachers may say they are preaching salvation on a regular basis, but most of those say that they ate really preaching repentance. They are requiring that people do something "first" before God can extend Himself to them.
The teeth is that God is extending Himself toward us continually and in more ways than be counted. He is forever offering Himself to us. He doesn't forgive us because we call up on our sins(which God already knows), recount our misdoings, or beg and plead repentance.
All we really need to is accept and receive what Gid has already given us, the free gift of salvation, free grace, and the freedom to enter God's presence.
Your salvation, mine, is based on the answer to one question and one question alone, " Am I willing by faith to receive Jesus Christ as my personal Savior based on the fact that when He died on Calvary, He paid my sin debt in full?"
If yes to that question, I am receiving Christ into my life. When I receive Him, I am receiving Him by faith. I believe in I'm as my personal Savior.
Repentance, on the other hand is something I do by my will because of what God does in my heart whe. I receive Him by faith. I turn away from sin because something has happened in my heart, not so that something will happen in my heart. We repent as the result of accepting Jesus and experiencing His grace at work in us.
Accepting Jesus is as simple as accepting Him as you Savior and accepting that what He did sufficient to establish your relationship with God.
The only thing that is required for you to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior is to believe that He is the Son of God, and that He died on the cross to pay your sin debt, that He is your Savior and Lord.
Romans 10:9-10. If you confess with your mouth The Lord Jesus and believe with your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For it is WITH God all things are possible

| Love this message, thank you! One of my favorites from Eph 2:8-9 For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, but of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. | |
