In response to Ar... thank you! You know I am very blessed ! I 'm blessed in the truth of God 's word...I 'm blessed that God reveals His truth to us and protects us from those who wish to distort and deceive the truth of who He really is. I don 't know about you Ar..but I 'm sure you can agree that thank you Jesus we are under grace and not under the law! For we are saved through FAITH,and this is not from yourselves, it is God 's gift not from works so that no one can boast.! We know that Abraham believed God and it was accounted unto him for righteousness..no amount of following a law can save..when Jesus was on the cross and was between the 2 crooks one of them repented the other did not...The one that repented said to Jesus,LORD remember me when you come into your kingdom...Jesus replied, today you will be with me in paradise... the crook was not baptized before he died ,and yet Jesus said he would be with Him in paradise! Romans 10 6 10the message is near you,in your mouth and in your heart. This is the message of FAITH that we proclaim if you confess with your mouth ,Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. With the heart one believes,resulting in righteousness,and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation. Which is exactly what the thief on the cross did..
