the best of blog
I got 2 blogs so I get to do what I want. So this for a while will give you old things I wrote. I want to go after things that matter and topics I covered and want to remind you off and important junk that I need to repeat
Salvation depends not on my works it is all on Jesus. My hope is that Jesus did the work and forgave my sins and if I need forgiveness Jesus has done this all in his blood. To question if I am saved is to slap Jesus in the face and not to trust in his work. If one think his good works are reason or proof they are not right. Salvation is a one time act forever. Here is the verse I am pointing to. I am going to work on them for a few notes here and then they will be on record for me both to point to and to show others that nail me in time on this.
So Assureance of salvation is:
By Faith in Jesus alone.
Eph 3 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.1
When we come and get saved and confess Jesus as our own we can come bold to the Lord and ask what we need. We are given the faith and the boldness when we are saved. If your not sure your lacking the truth. Set in stone the faith is there and your going to God in the right way and that is boldly.
Hebrews 10 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful2
We are commanded to draw close to Jesus with assurance. We got to stop questioning and start knowing we are saved. Jesus is the issue here. I am placing my trust and all of it on Jesus as he is the one that salvation depends on after I am saved. If Jesus did not come to save me and we can know it then why ought we trust. Salvation is on Jesus and not on us. If it were up to me to keep Jesus I would not last a day in my faith. So thank Jesus it is not mine to lose.
1 Thes 1 2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, 4 knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.3
We can know we have been elected by Jesus and not wonder. If you made Jesus your life then he grants you the knowlage that your his and not your owns. Jesus got you in a payment on the cross so to look to you for hope of salvation is not why your saved. Jesus saved you, you did not save yourself and your faith is also a gift.
1 john 5 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.4
If you are in Jesus your saved. If your not in Jesus your not. If you have placed your faith in Jesus alone for your salvation its a done deal. God wants you to know this and the devil wants you to doubt because then you will not work on Jesus commands and serve him because your doubting if he is real. Also if your not sure then your not going to win the lost and have a life for that. I think this is where I take people that doubt
col 2 11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.5
Jesus forgave ALL your sins and he made you alive together. When you place your trust in Jesus all is gone. Past sins and all sins. Future sins are forgive and you stand in absolute just as you never sinned before Jesus. He paid for all sin on the cross. It is not in the books because God took the eracer to your record and he nailed the charge to the Lord on the cross. God took the devil and beat him good on the cross and gave us victory and full payment of all our sins. We were with no hope until Jesus gave his blood on the cross.
One more passage tonight
Rom 5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.6
We sinners were at war with God and headed for hell and this passage said that the war is over for the saved. We have peace because God has sent Jesus to justified us. We can rejoice in Jesus and his hope. Compare Gods thoughts on this passage
ps 7 1 God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he does not turn back,
He will sharpen His sword;
He bends His bow and makes it ready.
13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death;
He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.7

know your His
It is not good to call into questions a brothers salvation. I got a pal that calls me to always question if I am saved and I think it is not ok. First of all salvation is a gift of God and when one calls on the name of Jesus and places his trust in Jesus alone that ends it. Jesus wants you to know that if he is in you your his and not to worry about it. If you question that in one more sateen has working on self and not on others. It makes me mad and the next one to go and question I am going to preach this to we are saved because of grace of God and not of work in any shape or form. No one can lose their salvation after they are saved. But so many do not get this and they say you can. I could go all over the bible but I am going to give one passage. If your not saved you get no hope of heaven and hell is your home forever. Saved is you placed your eternal trust in Jesus and his work on the cross for your forgiveness of sins. It is belief and repenting of sin that makes one saved. If you are not saved and trust Jesus this is not for you. If you are God said this
Romans 8 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.1
Rom 10 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”2
If you have called on Jesus your saved so stop thinking your not saved. You have it all when you got Jesus.
Eph 1 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
If your in Jesus you have all of Jesus and not some of Jesus. Everything is yours in Jesus. If your his stop doubting or filling a churches requirements like conformation or mass because your all saved. I dis the pope and his system because he is not going to tell you the bible said your in Jesus and saved but he wants you to be Catholic and that is not bible. No man is not going to give you hope. Pope is a man and has no hope in him and no hope is in mary either. Jesus gave his blood for one reason to buy you into his kingdom and he did all the work ever needed. If you are his claim it and live for him and if not come and get into the family.
