Hi Diane, the scripture tells us, Therefore we are always "CONFIDENT" while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord, For we walk by faith not by sight. We are "CONFIDENT", I say and "WILLING" rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. WE GO IMEDIATELY TO THE LORD!

Diane corbett, Probably already someone has commented to you about the Salvation Message. It is not by works of righteousness which we have done but it is according to His mercy (favor) for us that we are saved. Jesus Christ did everything for us on the cross. His blood atonement washes us from all of our sins.. We are completely restored in Him as His sons and daughters. He loves us that much that "He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes (trusts) in Him should not perish but have everlasting life". In the Word of God it reveals to us that God wants us to have a personal relationship with Him. His Holy Spirit is the One who brings conviction of sin. So the idea is that if we repent for all of our sins (no matter what it is), He is just and faithful to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness. After repenting, we then ACCEPT Jesus Christ into our hearts as LORD and Savior... From that point on we have begun a new life in Him which will last throughout all eternity. It is a free gift. But remember we must always honor Him as our LORD... (King, Master, Creator) and be obedient to Him as His servants...If we fall we always have an advocate (a helper, friend) to lift us back up. Again, Confess our sins and He is just and faithful to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness". We as Christians (followers of Jesus Christ) need to read the Word of God daily to strengthen us daily... Jesus Christ died and ROSE again. He is ALIVE and lives forevermore and we as his loved ones remain in Him forever and forever! We fear no more. Death has no more sting...
