We all know that sin or doing bad things are wrong. Every religion including moralists teach that people should eschew wrong doing for their own and other people's good. Gospel preachers, on their own, go a step further by emphasizing both repentance and acceptance of Christ as prerequisites for salvation and eternal wellbeing. But can't somebody just repent of sin without believing in Christ as Lord and Saviour? After all, there were people who lived righteously and died before Christ and they went to eternal bliss. Mature responses from mature Christians required. Thanks.

That's the Only way!!

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE SAVED..... NO OTHER

Believing in Our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ is the only way. If

you repent of your sins today can you stay a whole week without

a single sin in your thoughts, your words or actions? Remember

you can't excuse even the slightest lust that comes to your

mind or the bitterness that sneeks into the heart or the anger

that you feel for anyone or the desire to have something that

you see someone else has (envy and lack of contentment) or to

be carried away by the fashions or worldly luxuries etc. Man is a

fallen creature and no man can save himself. A lot of people are

choosy on what they call sins,they pick the ones they will avoid

and leave the others. for who ?I always ask. and because of that

they think themselves holy. What a deception,for we can only

deceive ourselve and not God. So for those who sincerely want

to become holy the law becomes our tutor/schoolmaster to

show us how wretched we are and lead us to Christ Jesus.

That is the way we feel it should be , but our Creator says it does not work that way, can we question Him .

Those that died before Jesus Christ , whether they were good or evil , were given opportunity to accept Jesus Christ after his death on the cross.

John 5:25-29 KJV
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
[26] For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
[27] And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
[28] Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
[29] And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

It is a must to accept Jesus as our saviour and there after ,live a holy life and be saved.

Accepting Christ means embracing a new and heavenly nature. Christ becomes your life and nature when you receive Him. Without Christ in you, the kingdom of God is far from you.

Our own willpower cannot recreate and change us. It might change us for a while, but we are bound to return to our unholy life-style.

Every soul needs Christ.

Ok sir. Now I know better. Thanks a lot.

I quite concur sir. But you did not explain why it is that He is the only way to be saved. Is it because He is the only sinless 'man' or because He alone died for the sins of fallen humanity?

Thank you very much sir for your incisive explanation. God bless you.

The Scripture, Which is The guide given to us all by Our Creator says so..
John 14:6

You are welcome.

All thanks to the LORD our wisdom and understanding.

All thanks to the LORD our wisdom and understanding.

Glory be to His holy name! May all who are yet living in sin and outside the Kingdom come to Christ the only Lord and Saviour now for pardon, cleansing and redemption before it becomes too late I J N, Amen.

Op, please can you explain what you mean by the word 'save'? Are you feeling unsafe or insecure? Please tell me what humanity needs this safety for because I am not understanding o.

Yes. You must accept Jesus.

Do you know why?

ATONEMENT

NO SINNER CAN STAND BEFORE GOD

He is too holy to behold sin.

NO SIN IS FORGIVEN WITHOUT THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

Regardless of how well you practice religion or self Righteousness

You will DIE a Sinner without Jesus.

THAT MEANS ETERNAL LOSS.

Yes.

believing in Jesus is actually accepting God's salvation apart from this there is no other way.

YES.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6

First, things first, what exactly does one hope to be saved from? This is one major question the vast majority leaves most Christians in knots.

Jesus Christ, in John 3 vs 14 - 16 explained that He came to save the people of Israel from the Condemnations/Curse of sin imposed on them by God in much the same way that Moses, by raising.

14 “Moses lifted up the snake in the desert.[a] It is the same with the Son of Man. He must be lifted up too.
15 Then everyone who believes in him can have eternal life.”
[b]16 Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life. - John 3 vs 14 - 16

The curse that was relayed to the children of Israel is documented in Deuteronomy 28 - 30 beginning from verse 15 of Deuteronomy 28. That curse was brought down by God after the close of the 70 weeks of 7 - Daniel 9 vs 24 - which ended with the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in about 70 AD.

What this means is that if you are not of the blood of Israel, what Jesus Christ offers does not apply to you at all. And so whatever repentance you seek has nothing to do with Him.

So how and when was jesus lifted up?

Only those that are condemned needs to be saved, so in all your verses, what made you condemned? Who cursed you?

One day Arjuna asked Krishna a similar question
I can't really remember but Krishna told him that man's want are unlimited so God created different ways to serve him...if there was only one way it will still cause problem
Remove the illusion of separation they're all saying the same thing with different English
It's all about embodiment of Gods consciousness individually and raising the collective vibration of the earth...
Righteousness, love, kindness,humility, releasing control and the absence of fear,hate,misery,poverty, greed and control...and all that is low vibration
Someone who is saved doesn't live with fear misery and the rest because e sure for you...
The whole point is understanding
When you understand that you're here to raise the vibration and make the earth a good place
There are certain things you won't do again morally or sin because you know it's wrong
Understanding is key
Lol
Anybody that preaches about the collective
Another point
Let us do things with joy
Those who want to go, let them go
Those who want to stay, let them stay
Surely, humans have been chosen to bring
Good into the world
The All-Knowing One, priest of Ôrúnmìlà
Interpreted the teaching of Ifá for Ôrúnmìlà
He said the people of the world would come
To ask him a certain question
He said Ôrúnmìlà should sacrifice
Ôrúnmìlà heard and complied
One day all kinds of people, good people and
Those who do not allow good in other
People’s lives gathered together
They went to Ôrúnmìlà
They said: ‘Coming back and forth to earth
Tires us, Ôrúnmìlà.
Therefore, please allow us to rest in heaven’
Ôrúnmìlà said: ‘You cannot avoid going
back and forth to earth,
Until you bring about the good condition that
Olódùmarè has ordained for every human being.’
The people of the earth ask him what this good condition is and Ôrúnmìlà
says it is about a good world, the bounty of knowledge, happiness and peace,
and the absence of fear, anxiety, poverty and misery. He goes on to state that
the remedy for this lies in developing good character and internal strength so
that we can love doing what is good. Until everyone achieves this condition,
people will continue to walk back and forth from heaven to earth until they are
‘recognised as human beings’

Second point is they're all saying the same thing...
It's all about creating a good earth for all of us and generations to come to live in
Before you people break my head na my own thought be that
Shalom

PRAYER IS THE KEY.
