I haven't forgoten!

Hey! Sorry it's been WAY too long since I've posted. I will try to do better. But I'm back at Heartland now. I've been here since Aug. 21st. I'm really excited about this year! Everything is SO different. But I know the Lord is wanting to teach me and grow me through all the different circumstances that are surrounding me right now. I don't have much time right now so I guess I will have to end here. I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be trying to do better on here. Our school interenet was down until just now and I've been really really busy so that is why it's taken so long. I have many post ideas and things I want to write about really soon so keep checking back.

God's simple plan for salvation

First:
YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE A SINNER.
Romans 3:23 says- "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:10 says- "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."

No one is perfect. No one has ever lived up to God's standard.

Second:
YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT AS A SINNER YOU OWE A PENALTY.
Romans 6:23 says- "For the wages of sin is death..."

This death is described in the Bible as the second death, the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:14)
If we pay what we owe as sinners, we must spend an eternity in the lake of fire (Hell).

Third:
YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT JESUS CHRIST HAS ALREADY PAID OUR SIN DEBT.
Romans 5:8- "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
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."

Christ was not a sinner, and the Bible teaches that God took all of our sin and placed it on Christ. While Christ was bearing our sins in his own body on the cross, God punished Him in our place to pay the debt we owe. This is not something God promised to do. This is something He has already done.
JESUS HAS ALREADY PAID YOUR SIN DEBT!

Fourth:
YOU MUST ACCEPT BY FAITH WHAT JESUS CHRIST DID FOR YOU.
The Bible says all we must do is BELIEVE!
John 3:36- "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."

In the verse above, Jesus divides the world into two groups: those who are believing and those who are not believing on the Son. Those who believe have everlasting life, and those who believe not shall not see life.
The word BELIEVE means to trust, to depend on, to rely on. To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ means that you accept the fact that you are a sinner, that as a sinner you owe the sin penalty (death in hell), and that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the debt that you owe. But it means going one step further. It means that you will completely trust Christ to get you to Heaven- that you will put the matter of your salvation in His hands and depend on Him for everlasting life. Nothing you can "do" can earn you a spot in Heaven. It is only through trusting Christ and the blood he shed for you on the cross.

The moment you do this, God promises you are not condemned but have everlasting life and that you shall live with him in Heaven forever. (John 5:24)

If you will trust Christ as your saviour, pray this simple prayer from your heart:

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I deserve to pay my own sin debt, but I do believe that You died for me to pay the debt that I owe. Today, the best I know how, I trust You as my Saviour. I will depend on You from this moment on for my salvation. Now help me to live for You and to be a good Christian. Amen"
