How do I accept Jesus as my Savior?

[GodB4Us]

Since it came through sinning , we need to put our trust in God's Word. Because we know that His Word is the truth. Society is getting more wicked by the day. God loves us and wants the best for us which is why He's given us all of the guidelines to follow. But He doesn't force us. He also warns us of the negative consequences of following our own evil desires.

And I see when following our own evil desires is because of unbelief in God and His words that those evil desires are not good for us, hence our need of looking to Him daily to help us lay aside every weight & sin because we trust in Him to do this as our Good Shepherd & Friend to help us to follow him and abide in His words for that abundant life in Christ to bear fruit so that our joy may be full.

John 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:.... 11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Easy believism is not so evil a thing when we are believing Him to be our Good Shepherd to help us to follow Him and not just for believing in Him as our Saviour for eternal life.

Believing God is the opposite of believing the moral law.

Adam and Eve gave themselves brain damage.

Rhema

Does Bible say so?

 

[God's Truth]

The Holy Spirit is convicting us we yield to that convicting and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. A little child is trusting - wanting to please God . They realize that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again for the personally. As a result they become a son or daughter of God / their heavenly Father. They will want to obey Him.

They want to and have to.
Jesus tells us exactly what to do to get saved...
We have to be ready to obey everything he says...we have to humble ourselves and repent of our sins and call on him...

 

[God's Truth]

In Mathew18:6 Jesus says little ones believe in Him.

Because their parents taught them about him.

 

[God's Truth]

These verses never simply refutes the truth Jesus said little ones believe in Him according to Mathew18:6.

Their parents taught them about Jesus.

 

[God's Truth]

They stayed unclothed in God's most holy presence before they ate the forbidden fruit. Was it righteous? Answer without dodging.

They didn't sin yet and didn't feel shame yet. Sin didn't come into the world yet, so morally dressed wasn't a thing yet. I don't dodge any questions.

 

[God's Truth]

You are scared to address the state Adam and Eve lived before they disobeyed God. Why are you running around?

Adam & Eve didn't have moral knowledge & that's why they stayed unclothed in God's most holy presence. You are afraid to address this truth!

It is your imagination that I am running around and scared of talking about the scriptures.

 

[God's Truth]

So their belief in the serpent is the same as unbelief in God and His words thus the result of having the knowledge of good and evil which caused the fall of mankind.

And yet the simplicity of the gospel may be made clearer still with God's help and that is to see salvation has to be done by simply believing in Jesus Christ & His words.

1 Corinthians 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Adam's fall brought all kinds of sins from unbelief in God and His words and so our believing in Him for all things and not just for eternal life, is how we can hope in Him for deliverance from all sins due to that unbelief in God & His words by believing in Him to do His work in us daily and finish it to His glory for why it is written that the just shall live by faith in Jesus Christ & His words to us = abundant life as living that reconciled relationship with God the Father thru Jesus Christ.

No such thing as just believe.
God says to obey.
You say, "Did God really say ___?"
Who does that sound like to you?

Eve was tricked into sinning, but Adam BELIEVED and sinned willfully and did not obey God.
We have to believe and obey.
Something you keep going against.

 

[God's Truth]

John1:3: "Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made".

Jesus creates all babies.

God puts a spirit in us at conception and that is what gives us life along with what our parents do.

You go against the scriptures that say we have to be taught.

When a person believes in their heart they will Want to obey. A good relationship feels good. It won't feel burdensome.

Adam and Eve chose to believe Satan the serpent.

Do we condemn the elderly when they are tricked into handing over their bank account by a con-man ?? No. We don't. Did the lady "choose" ?? Not really. She was lied to. Plain and simple.

What experience did Adam and Eve EVER have with someone lying to them? None. Do not make the mistake of putting yourself in their shoes. You have grown up to adulthood always having evil and lies around you. They did not. Take an innocent child, and consider them as "Adam and Eve." Then tell them a lie. You'll get a better understanding of what happened. It's easy to trick a child into eating candy, even if a parent said, "Not before dinner."

(John 8:44 KJV) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.​

IS STAYING UNCLOTHED A RIGHTEOUS DEED?

Adam and Eve stayed unclothed in God's most holy presence. Was it a righteous deed on their part?

Do you blame the child for getting into a stranger's car? Egads, I hope not.

John1:3: "Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made".

Jesus creates all babies.

WERE made, kind sir. Not ARE made.

Does God make every tree?

Or is the seed for new trees within the tree itself?

(Genesis 1:11-12 KJV) And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.​

Does God "bring forth grass"? No. The text literally says "the earth brought forth grass," not God. This was after God established the system, commanding the earth to bring forth grass.

(Genesis 1:11-12 KJV) And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.​

Jesus does not create all babies. Adam and Eve were given the power and authority to procreate, a power that has not been revoked by God.

(Genesis 1:28-29 YLT) And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.' And God saith, 'Lo, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food;

God commanded PEOPLE to have babies, and Jesus isn't running around making anybody pregnant.

Indeed, Humanity has been given dominion over the earth by God.

(Genesis 1:28 KJV) And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.​

We just don't do a good job of it since the Fall.

As for John 1:3 ... "made" ... γίνομαι - cause to become. The verb is written as a second Aorist, middle Deponent, Indicative, to indicate something that happened in the past and then ended. Otherwise the verb would have been written in the imperfect tense - as an ongoing action having started in the past.

The text of John 1:3 is to declare that the "Word" (the Logos) was the cause of creation and the systems within which creation operates.

There are very few people whom God decided to bring into existence (γίνομαι) on His own.

[Rhema]

Does Bible say so?

(Genesis 3:7 KJV) And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.​

God did not create man as blind and ignorant. That would not have been good.

"Opened" (H6491) (LXX: G1272) ... think of opening Pandora's box.

Many users of the drug LSD describe their mind as being "opened." This state of consciousness is not what God had intended for his creation.

Yes, the Bible says so.

Tell that to Paul and the Pharaoh.

Rhema

In Paul's case , he Thought he was doing a good thing by turning the christians. And you might be thinking about Saul on the road to Damascus. In Acts 8 and 9 he'd been persecuting the church. He'd be been going into every house , dragging men and women off to prison. But as the people were facing persecution they scattered all over the country and continued.to preach the gospel where ever they went.


So on his way to Damascus - a light showed down on him -- he was blinded -- why are you persecuting Me and he responded back "who are you Lord?".. he trembled and was astonished and asked the Lo d what He wanted him to do. So in chapter 9 vs 15 tells us what the Lord's plan was for him. It was big.

Which pharaoh are you referring to?

You're trying to compare apples and oranges so to speak.


With Adam and Eve , they had enjoyed a good relationship with God. He had only one request for them. Do not eat from that one tree. They had a choice to make listen to God or follow Satan. That affected all of mankind.

They were not some elderly couple --rhey were young. They were not satisfied with what they already had with / God.

So- aren't we the same way
Are we aren't satisfied with God's plan.

 

[Rhema]

Are we aren't satisfied with God's plan.

???

With Adam and Eve , they had enjoyed a good relationship with God.

And that's why they had absolutely NO experience whatsoever with even the possibility that someone would lie to them.

You're trying to compare apples and oranges so to speak.

Nope. You just need to say that to reject what I posit.

Both deal with being tricked into doing something because of a lie.

They were not some elderly couple --rhey were young.

So what? Neither had any experience with being conned. Worse though for an elderly person today who really should know better. Youth does not. So the fact they were "young" supports my position. The had NO concept of what a lie was. How could they ?? (Really.. think it through.)

But I realize you are dug in deep with your indoctrination, so we'll just need to leave it at that.

Kindly,

Which pharaoh are you referring to?

Uh... the one where God overrode his free will by God hardening his heart. You know... that one.

 

[GodB4Us]

When a person believes in their heart they will Want to obey. A good relationship feels good. It won't feel burdensome.

And when temptations comes their way, they can always go to Jesus Christ for help in times of need for He is the power in living that reconciled relationship with God the Father thru Jesus Christ.

Believers just need His help to believe Him to do that so they can live by faith in Him and His words to us under the New Covenant of what God said He will do and all He asks from us is to believe Him..
