Apostle Paul said something amazing in his epistle to the church of Ephesus.....

Ephesians 2:8-9(NLT)

"God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it."

 

 

Salvation (which is being saved/going to heaven) isn't earned by deeds or works. It's impossible for a person to attain salvation just by the good things they've done. 

Even Isaiah 64:6 said...."𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒅𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒆𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔, 𝒘𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒕𝒉𝒚 𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒔". Ouch! 

 

 

 

It's impossible to attain salvation by works simply because it's a gift! More importantly, it's a free gift from God. It's not meant to be earned, it's supposed to be received. If it were possible to get saved by works, we would boast about it but thank God we are saved by faith; this way, all praises is given to the Father.

 

 

That's why it's so essential that we take spreading the Gospel so seriously. It's only when the Gospel is believed that souls can received God's awesome gift.

THE TRUE PLAN AND INTENTION OF GOD

 TRUE PLAN AND INTENTION OF GOD Romans 9:22  And the same is true of what God has done. He wanted to show his anger and to make his power known. But he was very patient in enduring those who were the objects of his anger, who were doomed to destruction. Romans 9:23  And he also wanted to reveal his abundant glory, which was poured out on us who are the objects of his mercy, those of us whom he has prepared to receive his glory. During the time of the Law, God was supposed to show his anger to Man for their sins but he was very patient.  What is God's anger? The departure of his presence. He would leave those that has rejected Him. Outside of God is destruction. God knew that we were doomed for destruction. Due to the greatness and richness of love he has for us, he focused more on getting us saved than our flaws.  "He is not slow in fulfilling his promises but he is patient, that all may come to repentance." God's plan has also been to show us his abundance of G...

The New life

  Ephesians 2:4  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, Ephesians 2:5  Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;) Ephesians 2:6  And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:  𝖤𝗏𝖾𝗋𝗒 𝖢𝗁𝗂𝗅𝖽 𝗈𝖿 𝖦𝗈𝖽 (𝖻𝖾𝗅𝗂𝖾𝗏𝖾𝗋) 𝗂𝗌 𝗌𝗂𝗍𝗍𝖾𝖽 𝗍𝗈𝗀𝖾𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗋 𝗂𝗇 𝖢𝗁𝗋𝗂𝗌𝗍 𝖩𝖾𝗌𝗎𝗌 " 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀".    𝖶𝗁𝖾𝗇 𝖦𝗈𝖽 𝗌𝖾𝖾𝗌 𝖺 𝖻𝖾𝗅𝗂𝖾𝗏𝖾𝗋, 𝖧𝖾 𝖽𝗈𝖾𝗌𝗇'𝗍 𝗌𝖾𝖾 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗆 𝗂𝗇 𝗌𝗂𝗇.

Understanding God

  Beloved, let your understanding of God be based on what is written in the scriptures. . . . See, when you have a poor understanding of the scriptures or no understand at all, you will percieve the character and personality of God amiss. . . . One thing you must understand is that Jesus Christ is the true and perfect description of God. Look at Hebrews 1 vs 3 Hebrews 1:1 This Son perfectly mirrors God, and is stamped with God's nature. He holds everything together by what he says—powerful words! The Son is how God is. Jesus is God in the flesh. . . . Every single description and understanding of God outside of the person of Christ is very wrong. . . . Look at this, every single person on Earth, after the Fall of Adam, until Christ came chose to have little or no understanding of who God was. Romans 1:28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; They chose not to retain ...
