Do you know without a doubt that you are saved?

Have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior?

DO YOU KNOW?
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. (John 3:16)

WHO IS GOOD?
As it is written, There is none righteous, not not one. (Romans 3:10)

WHO HAS SINNED?
For ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)

WHERE SIN CAME FROM
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin: and so death passed upon ALL men, for that ALL have sinned. (Romans 5:12)

GOD’S PRICE ON SIN
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

GOD’S WAY OUT!
But God commendeth His love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) 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. (Romans 10:9) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)

Will you please call upon the Lord Jesus now and ask Him to Save you?

Yes. I know.
Good Gospel presentation. But you should also include how to grow in Christ- read your bible daily and join a local Gospel orientated church.

@BritishFailedAesthetic This is a Gospel message. The purpose of this post is to get people saved. My posts that share the Gospel message are clearly directed at the lost, so it is all about getting them saved. If I do get someone saved whether online or in real life when I am out witnessing, then I will follow up with telling them how to grow in Christ and will give them resources. I will make other posts on here that are directed at saved people and these have to do with sanctification and the christian walk/growing in Christ and are faith increasing, but that is about discipleship and service, which is not the Gospel message. The Gospel message is about justification, which is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Discipleship, service and growing in Christ are for the already saved and they are not the target audience of these specific posts.
It got me thinking none the less.
I a father, couldn’t sit by and watch my son be beaten half to death and crucified…

I must be a bad person..

I don't need to be saved, I haven't done anything wrong.

@SatanBurger Yes you have. We all have.

Will you pass God’s test of goodness for eternal life?

1. Thou shalt not steal. Have you ever stolen?

2. Thou shalt not kill. This is restated by the Lord Jesus, “Thou shalt do no murder.” 1 John 3:15 adds to this command, “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” Have you ever hated or disliked anyone?

3. Thou shalt not commit adultery. The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 5:28, “Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Have you ever viewed pornography?

4. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. Do you have any images or icons of Mary or any saint?

5. Thou shalt not bear false witness. Have you ever lied, exaggerated, or remained silent and hid the truth?

6. Thou shalt not covet. Have you ever envied with greed the possessions or wealth of another?

7. Honour thy father and thy mother. Have you ever disobeyed or dishonored your parents?

8. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Have you loved the Lord God first and foremost your entire life?


If you are honest, you failed the good test. If you answered any question in the affirmative, you are guilty of all. The holy God stated in James 2:10, “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”

Do you honestly believe that you would be accepted by God as a good person? What would a judge be required to do to the one found guilty? A judge like a good referee will call the foul and punish the offender.

The God of creation has graciously provided a way for mercy to be offered with justice served. 1 Peter 3:18 says, “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.” The Lord Jesus Christ suffered, died, and arose for your unjust acts against God.

The sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ is worthy to be accepted by anyone. 1 Timothy 1:15 says, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” You will please God by accepting this offer of grace by faith.

Will you accept by faith this gracious offer of God and receive forgiveness or a pardon for your sins? Paul said in Acts 16:31, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Paul said in Romans 10:9, “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.”


Your Choice and the Finals

Accept or Reject?

When you humbly accept the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, God accepts you to be His child (Romans 8:16-17). You have taken God’s name like an adoption or marriage. The beloved wife takes the husband’s name. In an ideal marriage both parties seek to please each other.

One commandment says, “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 15:10, “...his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly…” In an ideal relationship with the Lord Jesus both parties seek to please and serve the other (See 1 Thessalonians 4:1-7).

If you seek to please and serve the Lord Jesus, you will joyfully rejoice in the end. Philippians 2:15-16 says, “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke...Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ...” The Lord Jesus has a plan to provide a glorious inheritance for the dear child who serves the Lord faithfully (See footnote at Romans 8:17).

If you reject the gracious gift from a loving Saviour and die in your sins, you will hear the righteous Judge order, “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire...” To disregard, ignore, or delay the acceptance of this offer is a decision of stubborn pride. Revelation 21:8 warns, “...all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

@TommyDeZinna I don't need to be saved, I've done nothing wrong by just existence alone. I refuse to be punished for nothing.
Protecting not saving, difference being life
I think you can stop relying on Saul-cum-Paul and simply go to the Source and read Jesus' own requirement.

@BlueSkyKing Romans 2:12 - For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
