Are you Saved???

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

True salvation
According to Gods word (KJV)

Scripture tells us
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23
We as humans are sinners, we only think about what we want and not what God commands. We are all sinners that deserve to die and go to hell because of our sins and God is perfectly fair, just, and honest to do so. BUT God doesn’t want us to die and go to hell, so he provided a way out, through his only begotten son Jesus Christ. Call upon the name of Jesus Christ and though shalt be saved, its that simple. God cannot allow you into heaven with your sin that’s why Jesus’ righteousness is put on us and our sin put on him that was nailed to that tree. That is how the blood of Christ cleanseth us from all iniquity. Only through the grace of God can we find our way into his kingdom. The grace of God is Jesus Christ who was sent to be our Saviour by his dying on the cross and washing us clean of our sins. We are saved by grace and grace alone. The meaning is grace is to receive something you are not deserving of.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” Ephesians 2:8

Christ died for us knowing what kind of sinners we are and would be.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8

Jesus knows all of our sins and all of our evil thoughts, and he loves us anyways! That is true love, Jesus loves us and wants us to come to him by our own free will.
 “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15

Jesus is the only way to get to heaven, he is the only way to obtain salvation.
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Acts 2:21

The bible clearly tells us how to get saved.
“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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness: and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10
We must first believe without a shadow of a doubt that Jesus is the son of God and that he was crucified and then raised from the dead three days later. Once we fully believe this then we must confess that to the Lord, tell him that we believe this and ask him into our lives.

Then we must repent of our sins. Repentance means to know what you are doing is wrong and turning, fleeing, and getting rid of all wrong doings. We cant just have pentance we must have Repentence. Pentence is mearly knowing that something is wrong but continuing to do it, to Repent you must not only acknowledge it but also flee from it.
2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

After initial salvation good works and fruit must follow to show ones salvation. If someone shows no works, are they truly saved? Scripture says we are saved by grace alone through the blood of Jesus Christ and not by works. Our works is what we show after salvation to show others our salvation.
Ephesians 5:11 “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
James 2:18-26 “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”

After accepting him into our lives we must then live for him, the only way we can live for him is to study his word the KJV bible. Being born again only takes a few seconds but growing takes a long time. You grow by baptism by full submersion, reading your bible, finding a good KJV bible believing church, and most of all, lots of prayer to the Lord, also fellowshipping with fellow followers of Jesus Christ. We should not ever try to compromise with God, His laws are black and white and he doesn’t compromise with us and we shouldn’t with him. Tolerance is not something that Christians should have. We should read the bible every day and live by the rules God has set before us. When we realize that something is a sin we should repent of it and not commit that sin anymore. As saved Christians we should live our lives to please God not ourselves. Once saved we have the choice to live fully for our Saviour or to continue to live for the devil, it will be your choice to make.

If just one person gets saved from this, Fellowship of the Mystery ministry then all of our efforts have been worth every second. Our purpose here as the staff of the Fellowship of the Mystery is first and for most to show people what the KJV bible says of how to escape the flames of hell and obtain eternal salvation through Jesus Christ. Then we can grow, discuss, and fellowship together.
Ephesians 3:9 “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:”

The bible tells us that every time a sinner is saved and comes into Gods family the angels of heaven rejoice to the Father over that sinner that is now saved by grace.
St. Luke 15:10 “Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.”

We pray that these words will help you in your search for salvation and eternal happiness if you have not already found it. We do not feel that someone should lead you in a prayer (meaning you repeat the prayer that someone else says). The prayer that we pray to Jesus should be our own and come from our own heart not someone elses.
