It’s Not That Hard

“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.”
(Rom 10:9)
The verse right after is this: “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Rom 10:10) Multitudes of people in this world have been indoctrinated their entire lives with “religions” and “false doctrines” and have been steppin’ and ‘fetchin’ to the beat of their cult or religion so that they may go to heaven. There are new versions of the ‘Bible’ coming out every year to custom fit one’s lifestyle and one’s thinking (at least 150 after the KJV). Many false teachers have been on the scene even 2000 years ago and have been leading so-called followers down a primrose path to their particular heaven but the Bible has not changed and God has not changed. “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” (Heb 13:8). “All scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Tim 3:16). Friends, ‘it’s not that hard’. We believe by Faith. “The just shall live by faith.” (Gal 3:11) If you don’t believe the Bible, there’s not much more I can say. BUT if you’re wrong about Jesus my friend, you’re wrong about everything. God’s word has never been proven wrong. Every word of God is pure. (Pro 30:5)
Works have been incorporated into the belief system over the centuries via statues, beads, Mary worship, sacrifices, man worship, angel worship, door to door pamphlet distribution by false religions, the baptizing of infants, and so much more unbiblical nonsense, that it makes it confusing to most everyone. “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” (1 Cor 14:33) Confusion is the workings of the devil. Satan is the hardest working created being on this planet . . . working to destroy humanity and causing them to reject God’s only begotten Son. (John 12:48-49) "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." (2 Cor 11:3) God made it easy for us to understand but the devil has been corrupting minds for a long, long time. However, his time is coming to an end. (Rev 20:10) God does not want any to perish (2 Peter 3:9) but it is our choice to receive Him (John 1:12) or reject Him (Jn 12:48). If you reject Jesus as your Lord and and Savior, you will be judged by Him soon. Over 120 humans will die in the world in the next 60 seconds (Heb 9:27). We all have an appointment but sadly, many will die in their sins. (Matt 7:13)
Believers, obviously this message wasn’t meant for you that much but please highlight the scriptures in your Bibles and show them to your loved ones and friends who do not have a personal relationship with Jesus, our Lord. Tell them “it’s not that hard” and encourage them to call upon Jesus to save them. Asking Jesus to forgive them of their sins and believing that God has raised Him from the dead is what the Bible tells us. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh to the Father but by Me.” (John 14:6) Trust Jesus and have faith in His Bible. “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.” (Ps 118:8)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Eph 2:8-9)
Just tell ‘em about Jesus • It’s not that Hard.
