ONLY CHRIST SAVES.......REGARDLESS OF YOUR LIFESYLE.. The Bible states it is the “preaching of the cross” that contains “the power of God” that results in salvation. There is not other way. It is by this word of faith we are saved… Paul writes in Romans 10:8-9 “But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” In other words when we hear the gospel and it has penetrated our soul. we are able to have faith to believe and speak in agreement with it- that we are sinful and Christ died for our sins (1 Cor.15:1-4) Jesus said I am the door- If you do not enter by the door Jesus said you are a thief and he relates this to Satan being the thief. Jn.10:1,8 My sheep hear MY voice, Jesus is the instructor we are to look to His Word. Men’s words, philosophies, teachers of the world will not nourish you. Only those who present Christ’s words give you understanding to grow in your spiritual walk to maturity. Our self must decrease for Jesus to increase. Many are in churches that are teaching human potential, positive thinking wrapped up in biblical principles for living. This has nothing to do with the gospel and is filled with unprofitable words for our spiritual growth. If we are increasing in our ways then Christ is eclipsed by self. We are choking out his word.
