This gift of salvation, forgiveness of sins, and eternal life is something we cannot earn, but rather receive by God's generosity. It is available to everybody who believes in God and accepts the gift by faith.
When we consider the profound love of Jesus' death on the cross for us, we realize that we are sinners in need of a Saviour, and we turn to Him and accept the free gift.
God does not want us to remain sinners, so He is currently transforming us into the people He desires.We have no control over ourselves; all we can do is allow God to dwell and act inside us. Knowing Jesus, or having a connection with Him, is the key to eternal life with Him, according to Jesus.
We all know that communication is essential for the success of a relationship, therefore we pray to God every day, and He speaks to us via His word, the Bible. We must read the Bible in order to hear him speak to us. We will not want to sin if we have this relationship, but if we do, Jesus will be our champion.
When we repent and confess our sins, he forgives us and restores our relationship with him. Repentance is both acknowledging that our sins affect God and our relationship with Him, as well as turning away from sin.
No sinner will be admitted to heaven because God cannot afford to make heaven a sinful place like earth. Only the contrite, forgiven, transformed individual who yearns for and enters into a relationship with God will be present.
Scripture informs us that those who sincerely trust in Christ will experience character, attitude, and behavioural changes. One of the most significant changes that must take place in someone who sincerely believes is that they will sin less and less. It is important to note in the following verse that if a person is putting to dead the actions of the body, that person is being guided by the Spirit. He or she is a real believer and a son of God. That is, the person will be changed by the Holy Spirit.
That is why we pray for forgiveness and turn away from our sins. We will spend time with Him and ask Him to show us any unconfessed sins if we are serious about our relationship. We are only rescued because of Jesus' death on the cross for us.
Many brothers and sisters will remark, "Do you even have to question this? God's attitude toward a sinner?" The Lord is kind, loving, compassionate and caring. No matter how bad our offenses are, the Lord will always forgive and cleanse us.
However, simply knowing or agreeing with this fact is insufficient; we must personally receive this gift of forgiveness and eternal life. We must ask Jesus to be our personal Lord and Saviour and put our faith in Him to save us. We accomplish this through believing in Him and receiving Him. If we declare Jesus to be Lord, it indicates that He is now in command of our life, directing us, and that if we believe that God raised Him from the grave, we will be saved (forgiven).
Finally, the Lord will usher us into the kingdom of heaven. Then we'll be in paradise with the Lord." I used to think along the same lines. Because of this frame of view, I didn't pay attention to my transgressions, and I even indulged myself, allowing iniquity to spread freely. However, after researching the Bible, I was able to shed some light. I'm sharing my light with you here.
That's all there is to it and live yourself to God, come to know and trust Him, and you'll quickly discover He wants you to be with Him in heaven. God bless you as you study these texts from the Bible!
