"He went very silent. I asked him if he understood what I just said, and he said yes. I told him that repentance was not enough to get to heaven, that he also needed to place his faith in Christ, and not rely on his good works."
It is true that someone who ignores good counsel may indeed be a fool. There are some great concepts that have come out of the world. But to keep us grounded, they must be filtered through God’s word.
'More than that, Kevin, you need to place your faith in Christ. Instead of relying on your goodness - which we have discovered you have none - you need to place your faith in His goodness, because He took your hell punishment for you'.'I understand now'.
"Everyone who repents (turns away) from their sins , and places their faith in Christ and His one-time perfect sacrifice on their behalf – will receive 'yeshua' from their sins."
"Christianity says that no matter how hard you work, you will never get to heaven, because you have a huge sin debt to pay. Only Jesus claims to have paid for your sins. No other god or prophet has done that for you"
"If you’re not suffering shame for Christ, then it probably means that you’re not trying hard enough."
"We need to remember that although we may place importance on others, that everyone has to give an account to God on Judgement Day, regardless of whether they believe in Him or not. As with all people, we pray that they come to believe the Gospel, and place their faith in Christ!"
"Once the wedding supper has started, the doors are closed. It is too late to prove your honour to Christ. No amount of pleading and begging with God, or pounding on heaven’s door, will change anything."
No one wants to listen to someone who rants and raves! The Gospel is a serious message, the difference between eternal life and death. Take some deep breaths. Be calm and collected so that you can get the Gospel message across!
"Should we be loving to our neighbour? Absolutely! But I can find that in other parts of scripture. This story isn’t about that."
