Saturday, December 04, 2004 What I believe - No 1.I believe that there is only one way to enter Heaven, and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ. (John 14:6). Salvation is not through good works, but by confessing our sins and believing and accepting that Christ died for our sins and rose on the third day can we have salvation. When we give Christ full control of our lives by asking Him to enter into us, He makes us new.In the times of the Old Testament man had to confess and sacrifice an animal for forgiveness of sin. We are no longer under the law of the Old Testament as we now live in the day of Grace. Through God's love for us (John 3:16) God sent His Son to die for our sin. Sin is punishable by death, but Christ took our sin upon Himself when he hung on the cross, which means we no longer have to sacrifice an animal for the forgiveness of sin. The Lord Jesus Christ was and is the ultimate sacrifice. I believe that once we become a child of God (through accepting His Son Christ into our lives) that we can have a personal relationship with the Father. When we accept Christ into our lives, I believe that the Holy Spirit enters into us. I do not believe in a 'second blessing' when after a time the Holy Spirit can enter us, but I do believe that we are to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit. I believe that once we have truly accepted Christ into our lives that we cannot lose our salvation. BUT we can grieve the Holy Spirit through our sin and our sin can affect the relationship with the Father. Therefore confession to the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ is essential. I believe that when a child of God dies that he/she is present with the Lord, to be with Him eternally. # posted by shellymac @ 10:42 am 0 comments
