8.19 Truth and Promise: Belief in Salvation Through Jesus Alone

Today we leave the darkness of the Roman Catholic Church and turn to the light and truth found in Paul’s letter to the  Colossians. Paul was in prison when he wrote this. He had never been to  Colossae, a city in what is now Turkey. However, the person who started  the church, Epaphras, was concerned and went to Paul for help.  Apparently, the young church was being tempted by cultural pressures to  turn away from Jesus. Gee, that’s sounds familiar! Don’t Christians  today face temptations from cultural pressures? Maybe we can learn  something from this letter.... Keep reading in my blog and check out the trailer from the movie "God's Not Dead 2" where I got the quote.... If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.  Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Jesus Christ is coming back soon! Are you ready?
